Description Bracts 0. Calyx campanulate or obconic-campanulate, more or less unequally 4- (rarely 5-) toothed, obscurely angular. Corolla very small, slightly exceeding the calyx or shorter than its longest tooth, arising from the middle or lower part of the ovary, not hypogynous, shortly tubular-campanulate, with 4 (rarely 5) incurved tooth-like rounded to subquadrate lobes 1/4– 1/3 as long as the tube, separated by rounded interspaces. Stamens usually 8, occasionally 7, quite included, arising from the ovary at the insertion of the corolla; filaments 1/4– 1/3 as long as the anthers, connate throughout their length into a tube, often becoming more or less torn asunder by the enlargement of the ovary, more or less adhesive to the corolla; anthers oblong, bifid, connate for half their length, opening laterally at the apical half. Ovary on a short stalk within and quite free from the calyx, but half inferior to the corolla, 1-celled (not 2–3-celled as stated in the key on p. 4); style short; stigma large peltate, just exserted from the corolla. Ovules 4–5, pendulous from near the apex of a central placenta, which is quite free from the side wall of the ovary and only attached at the apex and base, dilated and thin at the basal part, filiform above. Fruit not seen, but evidently often 1-seeded. Small shrubs or shrublets resembling a Salaxis in appearance; leaves grooved down the back; flowers 1–3 together, terminal or on minute axillary branchlets, which are shorter than the leaves and covered with minute bracts or very small leaves.
