Calyx-lobes 4 (rarely more), mostly small, equal, narrowly to broadly triangular. Corolla-tube usually short, cylindrical; lobes 4; throat often hairy. Stamens enclosed or exserted. Ovary 2-locular; ovules mostly numerous on peltate placentas; style short or long, included or exserted, filiform; stigma-lobes linear to subglobose. Capsule subglobose to oblong, usually with a loculicidally dehiscent beak. Seeds mostly numerous, angular or subglobose, smooth or alveolate, often becoming viscid when moistened; testa-cells smooth to distinctly punctate or granular.
