- Morphology General Habit
- Annual herbs to large shrubs, rarely with annual stems from a woody rootstock; stems mostly erect, pubescent, rarely prostrate or glabrous
- Morphology Leaves
- Leaves petiolate; blade entire or trilobed, sometimes digitately divided to the base, margin serrate, rarely crenate; often with raised black glands at the petiole apex or adjoining leaf-blade, or sunken black cylindrical glands on the basal margin of the leaf, replacing the teeth; stipules narrowly triangular, brown, often persistent
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences
- Inflorescence usually terminal, several-branched and leafy, with 1–12 cymes, each with (1–)3(–5) flowers at each node, usually opposite the leaf; cymes usually with short and inconspicuous peduncle, bracts and pedicels
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Calyx
- Sepals 5, entirely free, usually as long or longer than the petals, usually stellate-hairy and with 1(–2) glabrous, conspicuous terminal spines
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Corolla
- Petals 5, yellow to orange, often with a ± distinct basal claw, the basal part with a pubescent margin
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Androecium Stamens
- Stamens all fertile, (5–)10–25(–35), often in 2 ranks in bud, reaching the same height at anthesis, filaments cylindrical; anthers dehiscing by slits
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium Pistil
- Ovary spherical, tomentose, with 2–5-locules each with 2 pendulous collateral ovules, style slightly longer and thicker than the stamen filaments; stigma entire or minutely 2–5-lobed
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
- Fruit spherical or ovoid, indehiscent or dehiscent by 4(–5) valves, dry, brown or black, very rarely ( T. glechomoides ) becoming red and fleshy, with hooked or straight bristles, rarely with thick-based spines

- Morphology General Habit
- Annual or perennial herbs, shrublets or shrubs, sometimes with annual stem from a woody rootstock.
- Morphology Leaves
- Leaves alternate, petiolate, simple or digitate, often lobed, serrate or crenate, often several-nerved from the base; stipules lateral.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers
- Flowers actinomorphic, borne in cymes in terminal inflorescences or at the nodes.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Calyx
- Sepals 5, usually linear and with a short horn just behind the apex, usually stellately hairy without.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Corolla
- Petals 5, yellow or orange, linear to obovate, narrowed to the base, and often hairy at the base or just above it.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Androecium Stamens
- Stamens 4–40, raised on a short glabrous androgynophore or torus with a glandular patch just above each petal base; apex of the androgynophore produced into a ciliate or pubescent or villous disk or annulus between which and the ovary the stamens are inserted.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium Pistil
- Ovary often tubercled or echinulate, each tubercle surmounted by one or more minute bristles, 2–5-locular with 2 pendulous collateral ovules in each loculus or falsely 10-locular by the intrusion of longitudinal false septa; style terete, about as long as the stamens; stigma entire or very shortly 2–5-lobed.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
- Fruit a capsule, dividing into 3–5-valves with 1–2 seeds per loculus or indehiscent, usually globose, sometimes ovoid, echinate or setose.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Seeds
- Seeds obovoid or subreniform; testa rather leathery and brown; embryo straight; cotyledons flat, suborbicular; endosperm fleshy, scanty.
