Flowers hermaphrodite, or rarely by abortion unisexual, regular or 
irregular. Calyx-tube adnate to the ovary; limb usually 5-lobed or 5- 
partite, exceptionally 3-10-partite; lobes equal or slightly unequal, 
open valvate or imbricate in estivation, usually persistent and enlarg- 
ing after the corolla withers. Corolla gamopetalons, tubular campanu- 
late rarely infundibuliform or rotate, straight or oblique, limb regular 
or oblique or bilabiate, lobes isomerous with the calyx, short or more 
orless deeply divided, valvate or induplicate-valvate, rarely 1, 2 or all 
the petals free. Stamens of the same number and alternate with the 
lobes of the corolla commonly inserted on the disk, sometimes on the 
tube of the corolla or adnate to it, filaments free from each other or 
cohering at the top or throughout their entire length; anthers linear 
oblong or rarely ovate-free or connate in a tube around the apex of 
the style, 2-celled, cells parallel, introrse, dehiscing longitudinally. 
Ovary inferior half inferior or rarely almost superior, 2—5- or rarely 
6-10-celled, the septa sometimes imperfect or disappearing early ; pla- 
centas axile or attached to the middle of the septa, stipitate or peltate ; 
ovules numerous or rarely only two at the base or apex of each cell. 
Style simple, clavate at the apex, papillose, at first enclosed by the 
anthers afterwards protruding beyond them, stigmatic lobes of the same 
number as the cells of the ovary. Fruit capsular or baccate dehiscing 
variously or indehiscent. Seeds usually small; testa thin or coriace- 
ous, smooth or reticulated ; embryo straight in the axis of the albumen. 
—Herbs or undershrubs of various habit and foliage, usually with a 
juice. 
An Order consisting of upwards of 50 genera and 1,000 species, dispersed over
