Calyx 5-cleft, persistent, without an involucel. Ovarium 5-celled ; cells 
with 5-6 ovules. Style 1, 5-cleft at the apex. Carpels united into a 5- 
celled, 5-valved, loculicidal capsule, the margin of the valves not introflexed ; 
cells 5-6-seeded. 
This genus only differs from Hibiscus by the total absence of an involucel: the 
original species, the L. aculeata, Cav., belongs to Abelmoschus.
