Revision as of 20:08, 16 December 2019

Subshrubs; stolons absent, taproot woody. Stems erect, glabrous or glabrate to hirsute [densely glandular-pubescent]. Leaves deciduous, mostly cauline, alternate; stipules absent; petiole absent; blade not fleshy, not leathery, margins serrate distally, surfaces with punctate glands and internal secretory oil cavities. Inflorescences axillary, racemes; bracts absent. Pedicels present; bracteoles absent. Flowers bisexual; sepals 5, ± distinct, lanceolate, calyx radially symmetric, rotate; petals [4]5, corolla white, sometimes with scattered purple spots inside, radially or bilaterally symmetric, rotate or tubular-funnelform, abaxial lobes 3, adaxial 2; stamens 4 or 5, adnate to base of corolla tube, didynamous or equal, filaments glabrous, staminode 0; ovary 2-locular, placentation axile; stigma ellipsoid [reniform]. Fruits capsules, elliptic, dehiscence loculicidal. Seeds 90–120, brown, ovoid, wings absent. x = 14 or 15.

Distribution

Mexico, West Indies, Central America, South America, Pacific Islands, introduced also in Africa (Cape Verde Islands, Ghana), Indian Ocean Islands (Mauritius).

Discussion

Species 4 (2 in the flora).

Capraria is unique in Scrophulariaceae in having alternate leaves with surfaces with punctate glands and with internal oil-secreting cavities.

A molecular study by E. Gándara and V. Sosa (2013) showed that, depending on how Leucophyllum is defined, Capraria may either be considered nested within a broadly defined Leucophyllum or retained as a separate genus, as treated here.

Selected References

None.
