Leaves are small, alternate, often densely borne, usually narrow, simple, and entire, often with rolled margins. Each tiny flower either has 5 sometimes petal-like sepals and no petals, or has modified petals forming bristles or filaments. Where temperatures fall below 5°C (41°F), grow in a cool greenhouse.
