Characteristics

Mostly perennial herbs, sometimes basally woody, usually scandent, but sometimes prostrate or erect, glabrous to densely ferruginous pubescent, the hairs frequently of two types, long multicellular ones which overtop shorter glandular ones. Leaves petiolate, variable in form but frequently cordate. In-florescence usually umbelliform, commonly racemiform with age, few-to many-flowered, pedunculate. Flowers with the calyx 5-lobed nearly to the base, 5-or more glandular within at the base; corolla rotate to shallowly campanulate, usually green, sometimes brownish, shallowly or deeply 5-lobate; stamens in-serted at the base of the corolla, the corona variable, entire or lobed, often an-nular and/or fimbriate, a faucal corona present or absent, the filaments connate into a short tube, the anthers not vesicular and lacking dorsal appendages; pol-linia solitary in each anther theca, inserted horizontally or nearly so (sometimes appearing pendulous in those of quadrate form where the width equals or ex-ceeds the length of the pollinium) with a conspicuous sterile, hyaline margin near the attachment to the translators; stigma usually broadly 5-angled and apically depressed. Fruit a single follicle, slender or broad, smooth, sometimes winged or with tuberculate projections.

Cor deeply divided, its lobes strongly ascending to widely spreading, linear to elliptic, always much longer than wide; corona a flat disk or shallow cup, the latter shorter than to slightly surpassing the gynostegium; margin of the corona distinctly or obscurely 10-lobed; anthers with a short, broad, membranous terminal appendage, or the appendage virtually obsolete; pollinia solitary in each pollen-sac, pendulous or ± horizontally placed, with a slender attachment to the translator; perennial twining herbs with broad lvs deeply cordate at base, the fls medium-sized, in pedunculate extra-axillary cymes solitary at the nodes; our spp. all with short-hairy herbage. 125, New World, mainly tropical.
