Herbs, usually prostrate or creeping. Leaves small. Flow 
and terminal scorpioid cymes, formed of large imbricating bis rely 
foliaceous falcate bracteoles, the petals and stamens alone exserted, rà e 
with the corolla-tube exserted; flowers sometimes in exposed racem als 
fascicled in the ochrea. Sepals subequal, free or connate below. a 
subequal often united in a tube below, limb orbicular. Stamens , 
perfect subequal, hypogynous or epipetalous, filaments usually bea vules 
often inflated towards the apex, anthers oblong. Ovary 3-celled; nell 
2 collateral in each cell one erect the other pendulous. Capsule n 
loculicidal, cells usually 2-seeded. Seeds superposed, cubical or pyram! 
usually rugose.
