Herbs, usually prostrate or creeping. Leaves small. Flowers in axillary 

 and terminal soorpioid cymes, formed of large imbricating biseriatesecund 

 foliaceons falcate bracteoles, the petals and stamens alone exserted, rarely 

 with the corolla-tube exserted ; flowers sometimes in exposed racemes, or 

 fascicled in the ochrea. Sejpals subequal, free or connate below. Petals 

 subeqnal often united in a tube below, limb orbicular. Stamens 6, all 

 perfect subequal, hypogynous or epipetalous, filaments usually bearded 

 often inflated towards the apex, anthers oblong. Ovary 3-celled ; ovules 

 2 collateral in each cell one erect the other pendulous. Capsule 3-celled, 

 loculicidal, cells usually 2-seeded. Seeds superposed, cubical or pyramidal, 

 usually rugose.
