The fruit is a capsule included in the persistent calyx-tube, and dehisces loculicidally. The seeds have a crustaceous testa and contain a mealy endo- sperm surrounding the straight axial embryo. There are four genera with 64 species, 60 of which belong to Frankenia. They are salt-loving maritime plants or inhabitants of dry localities, such as rocks, steppes and deserts. The halo-.
