Plants with pinnate or palmately cut foliage and cymose clusters of numerous small white, lilac, light blue, purplish or violet fls. in early summer: floral parts in 5's; calyx appendaged or not; corolla bell- shaped. the tube within bearing a linear longitudinal appendage opposite each lobe, with infolded edges, forming a nectar-bearing groove; stamens and 2 styles usually exserted: caps. 2-yalved, with 1-4 nearly globular seeds.—Mostly in moist woods and copses. The perennial species are useful for planting about remote borders of shrubbery, where they take care of themselves.
