the base. Style inclosed, pilose, but most so towards the upper 
part. Stigmas 2-5 (f. 128. c.). Ovarium combined with the tube 
of the calyx. Capsule 2-5-celled(f.128.e.) each opening by so many 
valves at the apex, which bear each a dissepiment in the middle. 
Seeds very numerous, minute.— Herbs, rarely shrubs, for the 
most part annual. Leaves usually alternate, rarely opposite, 
generally most numerous towards the lower part of the plant. 
Flowers for the most part on long peduncles ; pedicels drooping 
at first, but when bearing the capsules are perfectly erect. ‘The 
species of this genus are most plentiful in the southern hemis- 
phere, particularly at the Cape of Good Hope.
