[LIMONIUM] Sea-lavenders
All species of Sea-lavenders possess one of two differing types of stigma: Cob with rounded papillae; or Papillate with prominent papillae. They also all possess one of two types of pollen: coarsely reticulate and finely reticulate. All four combinations of stigma and pollen are possible and it does not seem to be diagnostically useful in differentiating between species of Sea-lavender. |
