Leaves are opposite with 3 entire and stalked leaflets, the terminal leaflet sometimes being modified into a tendril. The genus has distinctive prickly capsules.[2] The white or violet flowers are in simple racemes, sometimes branched. The genus is closely related to Bignonia and Anemopaegma. Pithecoctenium crucigerum (L.) A.H. Gentry has become an invasive weed in Australia.[3] Chemical investigation of methanol extracted from this species yielded the iridoid glycoside theviridoside along with five phenylethanoid glycosides (verbascoside, isoverbascoside, forsythoside B, jionoside D and leucosceptoside B), these last all active against DPPH.[4]Pithecoctenium translates to 'monkey comb'.
