萼片长圆形，早落，直立，疏生短柔毛具malpighiaceous毛状体，侧的对的基部不囊状。

Stamens 8, distinct, ones opposite sepals nearly as long as petals; filaments with indumentum toward base , gradually tapering from ± broad base to subulate apex, becoming reflexed; anthers obtuse or obtusely mucronulate.

雄蕊8，离生，东西与萼片对生近等长花瓣；花丝近基部被毛，由多少宽的基部到钻形的先端逐渐减少，变得反折；花药钝的或具钝的小短尖。

Flowers yellowish to greenish, rarely brightly colored, small, bisexual or unisexual, rarely polygamous,(4 or)5-merous, hypogynous to epigynous, in mostly axillary, sessile or pedunculate cymes, or reduced to few in fascicles. Calyx tube patelliform or hemispherical to tubular, sometimes absent, at rim with calyx, corolla, and stamens; sepals 4 or 5, valvate in bud, triangular, erect or ± recurved during anthesis, adaxially often distinctly keeled, alternate with petals.

对带绿色淡黄的花，很少明亮染色，单性，很少杂性的小，两性或，(4或)5瓣，萼筒小盘状或者半球形到管状，有时无，在凸缘有花萼，花冠和雄蕊；萼片4或5，芽期镊合状，三角形，直立或者在花期弯曲，正面通常显著凸起，与花瓣互生。

Staminodes apically entire and sagittate, or 3-sect; fertile stamens 3 (sometimes 1 or 2 aborted), all inserted opposite sepals

顶部的退化雄蕊是整个和箭头形，或者3全裂；可育雄蕊3(有时1或2 中止)，全部着生的与萼片对生 8 Murdannia 水竹叶属

Androgynophore usually present; filaments usually connate into a single tube; staminodes 5, tonguelike or filiform, opposite to sepals, sometimes lacking; anthers 2-celled, longitudinally dehiscent.

雌雄蕊柄通常宿存；花丝通常合生成一单个的管；退化雄蕊5，舌状或者丝状，与萼片对生，有时无；花药2室，纵向开裂。

Leaves to 5.5 × 3 cm, lateral veins 7-9 pairs, petioles 3-6 mm; flowers more numerous, in terminal or axillary, cymose racemes; sepals ovate-triangular.

叶给5.5×3厘米，侧脉7-9 对，叶柄3-6毫米；花更多的多数，在顶生或腋生，聚伞圆锥花序里；萼片卵形三角形。
