Photo of a shrub with unusual leaves. They are spatulate, with a strong midvein, but the blade on one side of the midvein is narrower than that of the other side. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

Photo of an inflorescence bearing two open flowers. The corolla lobes are swept back and reveal the stamens and stigmas. The lobes are pink at their tips, grading through white to yellow at the base. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.
I close the week on Primulaceae with a few leftover photos:
1. Myrsine asymmetrica of New Caledonia has asymmetrical leaves. Very weird!
2. Myrsine divaricata is one of New Zealand’s divaricating shrubs.
3. Primula clevelandii var. clevelandii (formerly Dodecatheon c.)

Close-up photo of the base of the plant with paddle-shaped leaves with strong, red midveins.
Close-up photo from above of an umbel of white, 5-lobed flowers. The buds are pink and partially enclosed by red sepals.
Samolus (just 14 species) is cosmopolitan. This is Samolus ebracteatus from Florida (also TX, Mexico, the Caribbean). It has an interesting phylogenetic position: It is sister to the Theophrastoideae clade (Clavija & kin; see Tuesday’s post). 📷: Mary Keim CCBYNCSA2. #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Photo of low-growing subshrub with dark (almost black), glossy leaves. Each leaf has a silver margin. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.
Ardisia also has some really spectacular species, like this one I photographed growing on the forest floor in a Malaysian rainforest. I still don’t have a species name for it, but no matter. I love it. 😍 #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Close-up photo of a cluster of white flowers against dark green leaves. The flowers have petals with dark spots and lines, typical of the Myrsinoideae. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.
Close-up photo of a cluster of pink flowers. The anthers are held in a cone, suggesting buzz-pollination. Styles long. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.
Ardisia (739 spp) is a pantropical member of the Mysinoideae. The ones I know best are shrubs & small trees. Some are cultivated; some are invasive.
1. A. escallonioides is native to FL.
2. A. elliptica is an Asian species naturalized in FL.

Clavija is a Neotropical genus of 56 spp, some of which, like this C. weberbaueri, are litter-trapping Schopfbaum treelets. They have strappy leaves in rosettes that capture litter. For more information on litter-trapping, see our paper: doi.org/10.1111/boj....

Photo of detached branch with leaves and fruits against a black background, with a ruler for scale. The fruits are curved and pointed, like little horns.
Tropical Primulaceae are often large, woody plants that occupy diverse habitats. Aegiceras corniculatum is a mangrove tree from SE Asia to Australia. The genus name means “goat horn,” & the epithet means “little horn.” Both refer to the fruits. 📷: Reuben CJ Lim CCBYNCSA2 #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
A line drawing of two flowers in longitudinal section illustrating heterostyly. The left flower is labeled "Long-styled form," and the right flower is "Short-styled form."
Primula veris is heterostylous with long- and short-styled morphs. Only cross-pollinations result in seed. Darwin was fascinated by this dimorphism within a single species. I give you Figure 1 from The Different Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species. #heterostyly #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Primula includes species commonly cultivated. Gardeners recognize a few broad kinds, including the auriculas, which are traditionally (in the UK, at least) displayed in “theatres,” like this one at Stockton Bury Gardens. Their intricate flowers often have a mealy coating. #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Primulaceae now include species that were previously placed in their own families (but now recognized as subfamilies, so no real change). They all have free central placentation & antipetalous stamens. This week, a look at the family. 📷: Primula hybrid. #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Lysimachia punctata is one of ca. 80 spp of Lysimachia (out of 288 spp in the genus) that have oil-secreting hairs in the bowl of the corolla. It is pollinated by oil bees in the genus Macropis (ca. 16 spp; #Melittidae). 📷: Pete CCBY2. #pollination #bees #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Photo of a leafy shoot bearing leaves. The full-size leaves are interrupted by a series of short, needle-like cataphylls that indicate a growth period in which cataphylls, not leaves, were produced. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.
Modified leaves that subtend vegetative structures have other names, but they’re still bracts in the broad sense. Between pulses of leafy growth, Clavija domingensis produces tiny, needle-shaped cataphylls, which are reduced leaves. #Primulaceae Bromeliaceae #bracts #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
#Primulahendersonii is a species of flowering plant in the family #Primulaceae, native to western North America, from California north to southern British Columbia and Idaho. Common names include #broad-leavedshootingstar, #Henderson'sshootingstar, #mosquitobills, and #sailorcaps. #wildflower
