Herbs or rarely shrubs. About eighty species, whereof two or three inhabit Tropical 
Africa and Asia; all the rest are American, some of them extending into extratropical 
regions, both north and south. We have bracketed a number of names under this and 
the next genus, because we are unwilling to transfer and give them names without 
being able to examine authenticated specimens.
