Floral branches are initially coiled with flowers along the upper side in two ranks, alternating from side to side (a scorpioid cyme). A single flower may occur between the two apical floral branches. Each floral branch has up to 10 or more flowers.
The flowers are arranged in a helicoid cyme, an array that beings coiled up like a fiddlehead and then uncurls and straightens as the flowers open. The flowers are usually actinomorphic (radially symmetrical) or nearly so, and usually have both pollen-bearing and ovule-bearing parts. The 5 sepals and 5 petals usually attach below the ovary (i.e., the ovary is superior).
The leaves are 2 to 12 centimeters long, the largest occurring around the base of the stem and those higher on the stem much smaller. It is coated in stiff, glandular hairs. The 5 stamens grow from the tube formed by the petals. The fruit is a schizocarp that usually splits into four segments that resemble seeds. Species formerly placed in the Hydrophyllaceae are now included here. Arrangement) generally a cyme (branched stem with flowers opening from the top down).Plants in the borage family are annual or perennial herbs, often with rough, stiff hairs.
Very slimy and purple, leaf stalk curly and slimy. The flower has a bell-shaped purple or blue corolla up to a centimeter long.Central Texas Wetland Plants is a collection. The inflorescence is a coiled cyme of several flowers.
False partitions may make the ovary appear 4-chambered. It consists of 2 united carpels and produces 4 separate nutlets or sometimes achenes (dry seeds). The ovary is positioned superior. There are 5 stamens these are attached to the corolla tube, alternate with the petals. They have 5 separate sepals and 5 united petals. The flowers are bisexual and mostly regular.
