Herbs, annual [perennial], aquatic or paludal; stolons present. Stems stoloniferous, prostrate or ascending, glabrous. Leaves basal, opposite, sometimes rosulate; stipules absent; petiole present or absent; blade fleshy or not, leathery or not, margins entire. Inflorescences axillary, flowers solitary; bracts absent. Pedicels present; bracteoles present or absent. Flowers bisexual; chasmogamous flowers emergent; sepals [4]5, calyx radially or slightly bilaterally symmetric, campanulate, lobes lanceolate to triangular; petals [4]5, corolla white, pink, pale purple, or lavender, slightly bilaterally symmetric, campanulate, not saccate, abaxial lobes 3, adaxial 2; stamens 4, adnate near mouth of corolla, didynamous or equal, filaments glabrous, staminode 0; ovary 2-locular proximally, 1-locular distally, placentation free-central; stigma capitate or slightly 2-lobed. Fruits capsules, ellipsoid to globular, dehiscence septicidal. Seeds 3–200, yellow to dark brown, fusiform or cylindric, wings absent.
Distribution
nearly worldwide.
Discussion
Species 15 (2 in the flora).
Interpretations of morphological and molecular data place Limosella in Scrophulariaceae near the African genera formerly classified as Manuleae Bentham & Hooker f. (P. Kornhall and B. Bremer 2004). Limosella is in need of revision; the characters often used for identification are variable or difficult to observe.
Selected References
None.
