Abstract: All small annual herbaceous plants, there are only 11 species worldwide. Leaves are alternate and compound. Flowers are solitary, on long pedicels arising from the upper leaf axils. The small flowers are regular and perfect. The sepals are adjacent to the petals, not beneath. Stamens equal the number of petals or double them in number, and are arranged opposite them. Carpels number 2–5, with a single style. Ovary is deeply lobed and bearing a single ovule in each locule. Photographs taken by Martin Thomas.
