Ovary 5-loculed or appearing 10-loculed by intrusion of false septa, with 2 ovules per locule; styles 5, filiform; stigmas capitate. Capsule splitting into 10 segments. Seeds compressed, shiny, with mucilaginous testa.<p> About 180 species: temperate and subtropic regions; nine species (one introduced) in China.<p> <p> <p> <p> The greatest species diversity is in the Mediterranean region.<p> <p> <p> <P> </span> <P><!-- Key --> <div id="panelKey"> <BR clear="all"> <table id="tableKey" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" border="0"> <tr bgcolor="#d5ffff"> <TD width="347"> <P> <span id="lblKeyTitle" style="font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;"></span></P> </TD> <TD nowrap="nowrap" align="right"> <P> <span id="lblKeyEditLink" style="font-size:8pt;"></span></P> </TD> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#f1ffff"> <TD colspan="2"> <P> <span id="lblKeyDesc" style="font-size:9pt;"></span></P> <P> <span id="lblKey"><TABLE WIDTH='100%' BORDER='0' > <TR > <td WIDTH=50 NOWRAP VALIGN=TOP><A NAME='KEY-1-1'>1</A></td> <td WIDTH=400 VALIGN=TOP>Petal margin with glandular trichomes</td> <td > </td> <td VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP><A HREF='#KEY-1-2'>(2)</A></td> </TR> <TR > <td WIDTH=50 NOWRAP VALIGN=TOP>+</td> <td WIDTH=400 VALIGN=TOP>Petal margin without glandular trichomes</td> <td > </td> <td VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP><A HREF='#KEY-1-4'>(4)</A></td> </TR> <TR > <td > </td> <td > </td> <td > </td> <td > </td> </TR> <TR > <td WIDTH=50 NOWRAP VALIGN=TOP><A NAME='KEY-1-2'>2</A> <A HREF='#KEY-1-1'>(1)</A></td> <td WIDTH=400 VALIGN=TOP>Flowers yellow;
