Inflorescences determinate, corymbose , paniculate , or capitate, or flowers solitary. Flowers (4- or) 5-merous. Calyx gamosepalous , cylindric to campanulate ; tube herbaceous throughout and papery in fruit or with herbaceous midveins separated by translucent membranes distended or ruptured in fruit; lobes often scarious margined . Corolla gamopetalous, actinomorphic or zygomorphic, rotate to funnelform or salverform ; lobes overlapping in bud. Stamens inserted at same or different levels on corolla at base , alternate with corolla lobes, exserted to included ; filaments equal to unequal, filiform . Ovary superior, (2- or) 3-locular, placentation axile ; ovules 1 to many per locule. Style 1; stigma lobes (2 or) 3. Fruit a capsule. Seeds globose , ovoid , or fusiform , sometimes winged , often sticky when wet.

Nineteen genera and 320-350 species: North and South America, a few species native to temperate Asia and Europe; one genus, Polemonium, and three species in China. Cobraea scandens Cavanilles (a perennial vine with violet campanulate corollas ca. 5 cm) and three species of Phlox, P. drummondii Hooker, P. paniculata Linnaeus, and P. subulata Linnaeus (herbs with white to red, salverform corollas and unequally inserted stamens), are cultivated in China.[1]
