Sepals ovate, oblong, or obovate, ascending, glabrous or pubescent, base of lateral pair subsaccate. Petals yellowish, white, pink, or purple, caducous or persistent, longer than sepals; blade narrowly to broadly obovate or obcordate, apex shallowly to deeply emarginate. Stamens 6, slightly tetradynamous; filaments of lateral stamens filiform, those of median pairs strongly dilated or appendaged basally; anthers ovate, apiculate or not at apex. Nectar glands confluent, subtending bases of all stamens. Ovules 2 per ovary. Fruit dehiscent silicles, oblong, terete, sessile or subsessile; valves papery, navicular, veinless, glabrous, with 3 rows of crests; replum rounded; septum absent; style to 1.5 mm, cylindric or conical, persistent, glabrous or minutely papillate; stigma capitate, entire.
