Campylia

Erect to decumbent, solitary or sobolliferous subshrubs with short main stems; branches rough due to remains of leaf bases and stipules. Leaves simple, usually greyish, laminae flat to conduplicate. Pseudo-umbels 1-9 flowered. Flowers with 5(4) petals, posterior often with auricled claws. Fertile stamens 5 or 7; two staminodes sometimes slightly to markedly reflexed. The name taken from camplyos (Gr.), meaning curved (some species have curved staminodes). Basic chromosome number is x = 10.
