Annual glabrous, slender marsh-plants. Leaves opposite, entire or 
toothed, parallel-nerved. Flowers small, axillary or the upper racemose; 
ucels ebracteolate, often reflexed in fruit. Sepals narrow. Corolla-tube 
cylindric ; upper lip erect, broad, concave, notched; lower larger, spreading, 
lobed. Stamens, 2 upper alone perfect, subincluded, filaments filiform ; 
anthers meeting, cells divaricate; staminodes 2, 2-lobed, one lobe glandular 
obtuse, the other glabrous of various shapes. Stigma 2-lamellate. Capsule 
Septicidal ; valves entire, separating from the placentiferous septum. Seeds 
{umerous, rugose.—Species 8, N. American, S. African, Indian and one S.
