Limnanthaceae (from the genus Limnanthus, the name signifying marsh flower). Limnanthus Family. Herbs with alternate leaves: flowers bisexual, regular; sepals 3 or 5, valvate; petals 3 or 5, convolute, separate; stamens twice as many as the petals, the outer opposite the petals, often glandular at base ovary superior, 3- or 5-lobed, 3- or 5-celled; ovules 1 in each cell, ascending, micropyle directed downward and outward; stigmas 3 or 5: fruit dry, separating into segments.
This is a small family of 2 genera and 5 species, all of North America. The family was formerly united with the Geraniaceae, to which the floral structure bears a superficial resemblance. It is also related to the Anacardiaceae and Sapindaceae. It may be said to possess the general floral structure and lobed ovary of the Geraniaceae, but the seed position of the two families last named.
Limnanthus Douglasii, of California, is grown for ornamental purposes.
