Maoutia

Description

Maoutia is a genus of shrubs or small trees in the nettle family (Urticaceae). The leaves are alternate. The inflorescence branches dichotomously (i.e. it repeatedly divides into two) and the flowers are arranged in small clusters. The pistillate ("female") flowers have very small petals. Maoutia species resemble those of Leucosyke and Debregeasia.
