Nolanaceae (from the genus Nolana, derived from nola, a little bell, in reference to the corolla). Nolana Family. Fig. 51. Herbs or small shrubs: leaves alternate, or opposite: flowers bisexual, regular; calyx 5-cleft; corolla 5-lobed, gamopetalous, hypogynous, plicate in the bud; stamens 5, slightly epipetalous, alternating with the lobes of the corolla; hypogynous disk well developed, often lobed; ovary superior, typically of 5 carpels, radially lobed, or both radially and transversely lobed, lobes 5-30, in fruit forming 5-30 nutlets which are each 1-7-seeded, or sometimes both radially and transversely lobed.

There occur 3 genera and 50 species, confined to the west coast of South America. Many species are maritime. The family is related to the Convolvulaceae, also to the Boraginaceae and Solanaceae. The plicate corolla and very peculiarly lobed ovary derived from 5 carpels are distinctive.

A few species of Nolana, all prostrate plants, are cultivated in this country for ornamental purposes.
