Large evergreen or deciduous (?) trees MorphologyLeaves Leaves entire, margin remotely crenate to faintly dentate, palmately nerved from the base, domatia present or not; petiolate; stipulate Morphology Reproductive morphologyInflorescences Inflorescences axillary or subterminal, many-flowered, corymbose cymes, the ultimate divisions subumbellate; peduncle and pedicels expanding in fruit; subtended by inconspicuous, bracts and bracteoles caducous MorphologyGeneralBuds Floral buds ovateacute Morphology Reproductive morphologyFlowers Flowers mostly hermaphroditic, rarely male, zygomorphic Morphology Reproductive morphologyFlowersCalyx Calyx spathaceous, splitting unilaterally, deciduous Morphology Reproductive morphologyFlowersCorolla Petals 5, contorted-imbricate, opposite the carpels, free, glabrous above, ciliate at the base and contracted into a small claw or claw absent, white or yellow to reddish. Morphology Reproductive morphologyFlowersNectaries Small, scale-like nectary attached at the base of the inner surface of the petal (FTEA) or nectary absent. Morphology Reproductive morphologyFlowersAndrogynophore Androgynophore welldeveloped; stamens 10, uniseriate, paired or distinct, inserted at the apex of the androgynophore, filaments free or almost free, much longer than (FTEA) or shorter than the anthers; anthers mono- or di-thecal (FTEA), superposed when di-thecal, dorsifixed, extrorse; staminodes 5, petaloid, lanceolate to linear, valvate, borne in a whorl between the stamens and carpels and alternate with the carpels Morphology Reproductive morphologyFlowersGynoeciumOvary Ovary of 5 free carpels, carpels fusiform, densely-pubescent, opposite the petals; 5–9 ovules per carpel, ovules biseriate, minute, anatropous, affixed to the inner suture of the carpel; each carpel prolonged into a filiform, flexuous style; stigmas minute, capitate. MorphologyReproductive morphologyFruits Fruit dry, 1–2(–3) carpels maturing into 1-seeded, indehiscent samaras, the wing dorsal, opposite the raphe and funiculus of the seed, chartaceous, pubescent internally Morphology Reproductive morphologySeeds Seeds attached above, glabrous; endosperm scanty; cotyledons 2, thin, contortuplicate, but when teased apart large, obcordate, foliaceous, and prominently palmately-veined.

Taxonomy
The genus name of Mollia is in honour of Karl von Moll (1760–1838), an Austrian naturalist and statesman.[4] it was first described and published in Nov. Gen. Sp. Pl. Bras. Vol.1 on page 96 in 1826.[1]
The genus is recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service, but they do not list any known species.[5]
In the 18oo's the genus was once placed within the family Tiliaceae,[6]
The genus has been studied in 2021 and the various synonyms have been determined.[7]
