Description
The genus is characterized by its stipules, small flowers, congested inflorescences, "hairy" stamen and style, and the attachment of stamen to the floral tube.[2] All members of the genus are heterostylous[2] with the exception of O. dasystyla.[3] The genus can be divided into two morphological groups: those with white petals and those with yellow pink or red petals.[2]
