| Five united stamens are adnate to the top of the pistil, which is made up of five connate carpels. |
| The perianth is commonly uniseriate, consisting of 3-5 valvate, basally connate sepals, but sometimes an equal number of petals are also present. |
| Disk florets have a tubular corolla with five small radially symmetrical lobes and five connate anthers forming a cylinder around the style. |

| This water is thought to be associated with condensation from the ventilation system or connate water from the salt itself. |
| Sepals and petals are usually similar in form and free, but the lateral sepals may be connate to different degrees, forming a spur. |
