odd one: these are acute, entire, or incised, sometimes 
pinnatifid. Peduncles axillary, about as long as the leaves, 
solitary, single-flowered. Calyx deeply cut into five lance- 
olate spreading entire segments. Petals five, inserted im- 
mediately beneath the filament, oblongo-cuneate, spread- 
ing, emarginate at the apex, yellow, white towards the 
extremity, veined, at the base on each side having a line of 
hairs. Stamens ten, shorter than the petals, pale yellow. 
Filaments equal in height, every alternate one ( opposite 
to the petal) with a concave gland at the back near the 
base. Anther oval, fixed by the back, turned outward. 
Germen of five deep, ovato-globose lobes. Style single, 
shorter than the stamens. Stigmas of five rays, each tipped 
with a little globose head.
