Montinia caryophyllacea (HELP!)

A while back I wrote to the list asking for any information anyone might be
able to supply about Montinia caryophyllacea, for which I had been given
seeds.  I sowed 12 of them in a 3" pot of commercial seed compost with a
light covering of vermiculite, put them under fluorescent lights at 70F,
and two of them have come up.  So now I have seedlings, but of what?  I
know nothing at all about this plant.  I'm told it might be from southern
Africa.  A check of the Kew website tells me that it's in the Montiniaceae
family -- as if that's much help, never heard of any of the three or four
genera in the family. It's not in the new RHS Dictionary. Would someone out
there who has a copy of Hortus Third mind taking a look to see if it's
listed? I'd just like to know what I'm getting in to here.

Thanks.
