spicuous about the plants to attract the eye except the 

 light-brown capsules, and these might easily be mis-

 are mixed with the fruited ones, forming a low, dark

 capsules. 



Only the following genus, Btixbaumia, has a capsule 

 of similar shape, but the plants do not resemble each 

 other in any other way.
