Dactylicapnos species are erect or climbing, annual or perennial herbs. Stem grooved, glabrous, branched. Leaves alternate, ternate or pinnatifid, petiolate, exstipulate, leaflets entire, ovate, to spathulate, petiolulate, terminal leaflets usually replaced by branched tendrils. Inflorescence corymbose or umbellate. Flowers bisexual, leaf opposed, pale yellow to orange, showing bilateral symmetry, pedicellate, bracteate, Sepals 2, petals 4 in 2 series, outer series 2 coherent and keeled, with a compressed tube, base gibbous, apex hooded and divergent, inner series 2 linear, crested, unguiculate, exposed at mouth, hooded enclosing anthers and stigma. Stamens 6 in 2 bundles, each bundle 2 loculed, later anthers one loculed, base expanded into 1-2 nectary glands, enclosed by swollen base of outer petal. Ovary subglobose or elongate, unilocular, ovules few to many, style slender, stigmas flattened with 2 hornlike at apex. Fruits capsules, linear, cylindric, ellipsoid-obovoid, globose, dehiscing by 2 valves in upper part, with persistent placentae and style. Seeds reniform, compressed, papillate, beaked on one side, bulged other side.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Dactylicapnos species flowers are complete, bisexual, i.e., with functional male (androecium) and female (gynoecium), including stamens, carpels and ovary. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects. Flowering/Fruiting: June-December.
