Leaves usually small, crowded on the st. or in mostly somewhat elongated rosettes: fls. white, green or rosy- striped, tubular with somewhat irregular recurving limb and included style and stamens; segms. of perianth 6, oblong, nearly equal; stamens 6, shorter than perianth; ovary sessile, 3-angled: fr. a loculicidally 3-valved caps., bearing many compressed angled seeds. S. Afr. Monograph by Berger in Engler, Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 33, 1908.—Species 60, occurring in S. Afr. They are interesting condensed or cespitose plants with thick and succulent keeled often tuberculate and sometimes toothed lvs., and fls. in simple or paniclcd racemes.
