It has a characteristic flower with parts arranged in threes, with six coloured or patterned petaloid tepals arranged in two whorls, six stamens and a superior ovary.
Superior ovary (hypogynous), syncarpous (with fused carpels), with three connate (fused) carpels and trilocular (three locules, or chambers).
There is a single style and a three-lobed stigma or three stigmata more or less elongated along the style. Numerous anatropous ovules display axile placentation, usually with an integument and thinner megasporangium.
