- Morphology General Habit
- Perennial or shrubby herbs or shrubs, with usually conspicuous linear cystoliths (especially on calyx); stems terete to distinctly angular
- Morphology Leaves
- Leaves opposite, base decurrent into the petiole which has a distinct articulation at or up to 2 mm above base
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers
- Flowers in condensed axillary cluster-like cymes which sometimes merges into spiciform terminal panicles, more rarely solitary or in lax axillary cymes, shortly pedicellate; bracts various, outer foliaceous; bracteoles 2, filiform to linearlanceolate.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Calyx
- Calyx 5-lobed, the lobes subequal, linear to narrowly triangular, acuminate to cuspidate, with strong often rib-like central vein
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Corolla
- Corolla contorted in bud; tube with linear basal part, widened into a ± distinst inflated upper part (throat); limb from ± subequally 5-lobed to distinctly 2-lipped with 2-lobed upper and 3-lobed lower lip; lower lip with or without differently coloured pleated base, without (very rarely with) long stiff retrorse hairs; lobes oblong or obovate, rounded to truncate or irregularly toothed
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Androecium Stamens
- Stamens 4, slightly didynamous, all fertile or two sterile or reduced to staminodes, held in throat; filaments linear, fused with tube at base and free part of each short and long stamen fused at base, part fused with tube hairy; anthers 2-thecous, ellipsoid, usually glabrous, with spurs at base (rarely without).
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium Ovary
- Ovary with 2 ovules per locule; style filiform, hairy throughout, upper stigma-lobe usually minute, lower 1–2 mm long, linear-oblong, flattened, glandular.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
- Capsule 4-seeded (or 2–3-seeded by abortion), glabrous or sparsely glandular at apex, oblong to slightly clavate, cylindric, valves sulcate dorsally, often persisting after release of seeds; retinaculae strong, curved
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Seeds
- Seeds discoid, ovoid-oblong in outline, with dense hygroscopic hairs.
- Distribution
- Range: About 75 species, widespread in all tropical regions and subtropical in N America.
