Starflower (Primulaceae: Lysimachia borealis) is a common perennial in woodlands of Canada and the northern US. The small flowers are pollinated mainly by small native bees and yield tiny blue fruit. Manistee River Trail, Michigan, 02 Jun 2019.

A rare non-animal-related post, but I also took photos of a bunch of flowers this year.

I saw them arranged in a grid like this for the first time today and thought they looked really pretty like this :)

#macrophotography #flowers
Closeups of 9 different flowers arranged in a 3x3 grid. In order from top left to bottom right: 1) Pilosella aurantica (Asteraceae) A vivid orange flower (technically flower head or capitulum comprised of lots of individual flowers) 2) Dianthus deltoides (Caryophyllaceae) A magenta flower with 5 petals that have serrated margins. Towards the center they get soeckled with white 3) Bellis perennis (Asteraceae) Typical daisy-like capitulum with white ray florets anf yellow disc florets 4) Dianthus carthusianorum (Caryophyllaceae) Magenta with 5 petals that are slightly more spindly than on D. deltoides. It also lacks the white spots 5) Draba verna (Brassicaceae) A group of 3 bright white flowers and some buds. It has 4 petals which each have a deep incision 6) Lysimachia arvensis (Primulaceae) Salmon orange blossom with 5 petals. It turns violet towards the center with 5 brightly yellow stamens 7) Dianthus sp. (Caryophyllaceae) White blossom with pink center. The 5 petals also have serrated outer margins and leave no gaps in between each other. In the center, the markings of the petals form a circle 8) Oxalis stricta (Oxalidaceae) A yellow blossom with 5 petals. The center is greenish. There are a lot of short stamens. 9) Geranium pratense (Geraniaceae) A violet towards purple flower with 5 broad petals. The colour softly fades to white in the center. The stamens are a very dark purple, almost black and quite prominent.

The co-adaptation of bees from the genus Macropis and Lysimachia plants has been studied in detail. Research shows that bees collect not just pure liquid oil from flower petals but tear off trichome ...

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.)

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.

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.

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 🌾🧪🌱
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.

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 🌾🧪🌱

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....

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 🌾🧪🌱
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.

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 🌾🧪🌱
