The
recently redefined section is comprised of four species, all
(sub-)shrubs with herbaceous to succulent (sprawling) stems, sometimes
with tubers. Flowers with four to five petals and five (3 species) or
seven (1 species) fertile stamens, posterior petals always much larger
than anterior. All species self-fertile, flowers cleistogamous in one
species. Leaves simple, subsucculent, petioles longer than laminae.
Basic chromosome number, x = 11. Further characters, on which the
species are separated into a section are pollen morphology, RbcL
gene sequences, and phenolic composition. See S. Afr. J. Bot. 61
(1995) 339-346 for details.
