Small herbs. Leaves alternate. Flowers in clusters, these axillary or in spiciform intlorescences; perianth lobes 2-4, free or connate at the base, hooded; stamen 1; disk wanting; ovary unilocular. Pericarp diaphanous, i free from the seed coat; embryo slightly hooked, subannular; seeds vertical or horizontal. About 17 spp., mostly Australia, New Zealand.
