This monotypic genus has lately been referred to Rubus, but it differs in habit, in the carpels being usually well defined instead of indefinite and the achenes dry instead of drupaceous: fls. 1 or 2 on a scape-like peduncle, white, and also others that are cleistogamous and apetalous on short curved peduncles; calyx 5-6-parted, 3 of the parts larger; petals 5; stamens many; ovaries 5-10.
