== Description == The flowers are typically five-petaled and white to purple. The leaves are palmate divided into narrow, pointed segments.<ref name=":0" /> The fruit capsule consists of five cells joined to a column produced from the centre of the flower. The cells form lobes which eventually separate, each containing one seed.<ref name=":0" /> When the fruit is ripe, the beak-like stigma springs open and casts the ovoid, streamlined seeds some distance, dispersing the seeds.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Stamp |first1=Nancy E. |last2=Lucas |first2=Jeffrey R. |date=1983 |title=Ecological Correlates of Explosive Seed Dispersal |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4217097 |journal=Oecologia |volume=59 |issue=2/3 |pages=272β278 |doi=10.1007/BF00378848 |jstor=4217097 |pmid=28310244 |bibcode=1983Oecol..59..272S |issn=0029-8549|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
