" In this family the flowers nearly resemble those of the 

 Bignoniaceaj but have most frequently only two fertile stamina, 

 and rarely exhibit any trace of a fifth. In fruit they are abun- 

 dantly distinct ; and the herbaceous stems, simple leaves, and 

 axillary inflorescence, form important and striking differences of 

 habit."
