Crossyne guttata, showing prostrate leaves

The leaves are often prostrate (on the ground). The flowers may be zygomorphic or actinomorphic, and may or may not have a perigone tube. The stamens are connate (fused) into a tube at their proximal end. However Strumaria has one whorl of the stamens fused to the style. The fruit is dehiscent with seeds that have a well-developed integument that is chlorophyllous with a stomatose testa.[2]
