Gem. Char. Calyx (see fig. 1.) superior, of 1 sepal, in 5 deep, 
rather spreading, permanent segments. Corolla (see fig. 3.) of 
1 petal, wheel-shaped, with a very short tube, and 5 long, strap- 
shaped, recurved segments (see fig. 3, b. and fig. 4). Filaments 
(see figs. 5 & 6.) 5, thread-shaped, dilated at the base (see fig. 6.), 
scarcely attached to the corolla, and shorter than its segments, with 
which they are alternate. Anthers oblong, free ; pollen violaceous 
or reddish. Germen inferior, angular. Style (see figs. 3 & 5) cy- 
lindrical, curved, longer than the stamens. Stigma in 2 or 3 
spreading segments. Capsule (figs. 8 & 9.) roundish, of 2 or 3 cells, 
with strong ribs ; opening laterally by 2 or 3 valves at the base or 
middle part. Seeds (figs. 10 & 11.) numerous, small, roundish, 
sometimes a little compressed, usually shining. 
Distinguished from other genera, in the same class and order, 
by the wheel-shaped corolla, with 5 long strap-shaped segments ; 
the 2- or 3-parted stigma ; and the 2- or 3-celled capsule, opening 
at the sides.
