Herbs [shrubs], perennial, not viviparous, 0.3–6 dm, glabrous or pubescent. Stems erect [scandent], branching, succulent. Leaves persistent, cauline, opposite [alternate], petiolate [sessile], base (or petiole) often subclasping; petiole to 20 cm; blade elliptic, ovate, obovate, or oblong-spatulate, laminar, 3–20 cm, fleshy, base not spurred, margins entire, crenate-dentate, or lobed; veins not conspicuous.
