Leaves alternate, simple, variously cut, rarely quite entire, usually pellucid-dotted or Rue (.Ruia grmmiens). tubercled; sUpules 0, Or replaced by 2 bristle- like teeth at the base of the leaves (Peganum). Flowers 2 , regular, terminal, in racemes or a corj^mb, yellow, or sometimes white. Calyx persistent, 4-6-partite, aestivation imbricate. Petals 4-5, inserted at the base of a shorter or longer gynophore, Eestivation imbricate. Stamens inserted with the petals, generally double, sometimes triple {Peganum), rarely equal {Thamnosma) in number; filaments filiform, free, or sometimes shortly monadelphous, base often dilated; anthers introrse, connective sometimes glandular at the tip {Haplophyllum), de- hiscence longitudinal. Ovabt deeply 2-3-5-lobed, 2-3-5-celled, seated on a gynophore usually dilated at the base into a glandular disk ; styles central, sometimes distinct at the base and top {Boenninghausenia), usually connate, stigmatiferous at the top, or on the angles; ovules 3—4-oo in each cell, inserted on a projecting placenta at the inner angle of the cell, 2-seriate, anatropous or semi-anatropous. Feuit a capsule, sometimes opening in 3-4 loculicidal valves {PegoMum), sometimes in 4-5 lobes opening at the top {Buta), sometimes fleshy and indehiscent [Rideria), sometimes separating into cocci [Dictamnus, Been
