Pedaliaceae
Pedaliaceae, the pedalium family or sesame family, is a flowering plant family classified in the order Scrophulariales in the Cronquist system and Lamiales in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system. Cronquist included the family Martyniaceae in Pedaliaceae, but phylogenetic studies have shown that the two families are not closely related and they are maintained as separate by the APG. Both families are characterized by having mucilaginous hairs, which often give the stems and leaves a slimy or clammy feel, and often have fruits with hooks or horns.

gollark: I checked on my "is this thing perfect and without flaw" detector, and it's perfect and without flaw, though?
gollark: That sounds perfect and without flaw; keep it.
gollark: Apio form.
gollark: What if you add symbol names, but they're subtly wrong in ways which cause horrible template errors?
