From Malvaviscus it differs in having a dry rather than a baccate fr., and in other characters. Herbs and undershrubs of differing habit, sometimes low and diffuse and sometimes tall : lvs. various, entire, cordate or lobed : fls. scarlet, orange or yellow, short- peduncled or nearly sessile, axillary or in terminal spikes; calyx- like involucel wanting or of 2 or 3 bracts; calyx 5-cleft; petals emarginate or entire; styles 5 or more: carpels few to many, 1-ovuled, nearly or quite in- dehiscent and falling away from the axis at maturity.—Some 70-80 or more species, in Amer. and S.
