Shrubs or trees [rarely vines], evergreen [deciduous]; lepidote (scales peltate) and/or hairy (trichomes stellate). Stems erect. Leaves: alternate; petiole relatively long or short, nectaries present or not; blade ovate to ovate-elliptic or narrowly to broadly elliptic, or lanceolate, margins entire. Inflorescences terminal or axillary, racemes or corymbs. Flowers: sepals equal [2 unequal pairs], each often subtending a nectary; stamens 8 or 18–30[–60]; filaments inserted on ± flat receptacle; anthers ellipsoid; gynophore slender, elongating in fruit. Capsules dehiscent or not, linear-cylindric, ovoid, obovoid, or globose (thick-walled). Seeds 1–many, usually reniform, not arillate. x = 8 [10].

Discussion
Species ca. 25 (2 in the flora).
Quadrella is found mostly in arid places. It is characterized by indument of peltate scales or stellate hairs, and closed, valvate calyx aestivation with sepals that tend to recurve and fall off at or after anthesis.
