Stamens 5, inserted about halfway up corolla tube, the 2 upper Stamens fertile, others staminodial, +/– with abortive anthers; fertile anthers coherent positioned in throat of corolla tube, dithecal, opening by longitudinal slits or occasionally by apical pores. Ovary superior, oblong–ovoid, 2-carpellate, 1-celled, placentation parietal, placentas 2, ± intruded, rarely joined in center and dividing ovary into 2 cells; ovules numerous, anatropous, densely to moderately villous throughout or sometimes only in upper 1⁄2, apex rounded or with a stylar beak; style ca. 1–4 mm long, sparsely to densely pilose; stigma capitate, 2-lobed, lobes usually elliptic.
