Hypanthium cupular. Calyx lobes 5, imbricate. Petals 5, imbricate. Disk cupular, completely united with the hypanthium. Stamens 5; anthers versatile, introrse. Ovary with a free stipe, oblong or linear, 10-20-ovuled; style and stigma not sharply distinct from the ovary, incurved, pointed at the apex. Pods erect, elongate, flattened, long-stipitate, narrowly winged along the adaxial suture, 2-valved; valves straight, thin-coriaceous, (3-)10-18-seeded. Seeds slightly lens-shaped, smooth, not albuminous.
