Simple, often fleshy leaves on herbs and shrubs of coastal and dry habitats; irregular, fan-shaped flowers split open along one side, with all five petal lobes fanning out to one side rather than surrounding the flower evenly.
The lopsided, one-sided fan shape of the corolla — all the petals splayed to one side rather than radiating evenly — is an easy, distinctive field mark for the family.
