Characteristics

Flowers 4-to 8-merous. Hypanthium tubular to broadly campanulate, thin-walled, often costate at maturity. Calyx-tube briefly prolonged, usually erect; sepals erect, spreading, or recurved, ovate to linear, small or large; exterior teeth none. Petals usually ciliate. Stamens isomorphic to strongly dimorphic. Filaments terete or flattened, in some species pubescent or glandular. Anthers subulate, linear, or narrowly ellipsoid or oblong, 2-celled; connective more or less prolonged at base and bearing two anterior lobes or short appendages. Ovary free, its locules isomerous with the petals, its summit pubescent or setose and often glandular. Style elongate, straight, sigmoid, or bent at the summit; stigma punctiform. Capsule 4-to 8-valved, enclosed by the persistent hypanthium. Seeds minute, cochleate, tuberculate. Herbs or shrubs, almost all pubescent or lepidote; leaves isomorphic; flowers medium-sized to large, sometimes enclosed by bracts, solitary or in terminal or axillary cymes; hairs of the upper leaf-surface adnate to the epidermis for a part of their length.

Small to medium-sized trees, shrubs, subshrubs, more rarely herbs or climbers, generally hirsute or hispid. Lvs petiolate; lamina with 3-7 longitudinal veins, the outermost close to the entire margins. Infl. a terminal panicle or fls solitary. Calyx hirsute to hispid, 5-lobed. Petals 5, generally rather large, violet or purple, usually obovate. Stamens 10, equal or unequal; connective without appendages or with 2 lobes or tubercles at base. Ovary 5-locular, free or adnate to calyx, with apex hispid or hirsute. Fr. a capsule enclosed by persistent calyx tube.
