Filaments combined into an angular, funnel-shaped, membranous tube, bearing at the upper margin 5 roundish reflexed staminodes, alternate with the petals; anthers in groups of 3 between the staminodes, more or less concealed within the concavity of the petals, 2-lobed; lobes divergent. Ovary sessile, 5-lobed, 5-celled; ovules numerous, attached to the inner angle of each cell. Styles connate. Stigma obsoletely 5-lobed. —Shrubs. Leaves petiolate, oblong, unicostate.
