Annual or perennial caulescent herbs, with descending or horizontal rootstocks. Stems sometimes woody at the base. Leaves alternate, with the stipules obsolete or appearing as narrow dilations at the base of the petiole, palmately 3-foliolate; leaflets broadly obcordate, usually inequilateral, nearly sessile or rarely stalked, soinetimes sensitive. Flowers perfect, heterogonous or homogenous. Sepals 5, narrow, imbricated. Corolla yellow, sometimes with a darker ej'e. Petals 5, surpassing the sepals, rounded or notched apex. Stamens 10: filaments glabrous or the longer ciliate. Capsule more or less elongated, columnar or nar- rowed upward, angled, 5-celled.
