Omphalogramma vinciflorum (Franch.) Franch. (E00024832)

CETAF ID: http://data.rbge.org.uk/herb/E00024832
Catalogue Number: E00024832
Scientific Name: Omphalogramma vinciflorum (Franch.) Franch.
Collector Number: 74
Family: Primulaceae
Genus: Omphalogramma
Species: vinciflorum
Field Notes: This noble Omphalogramma expands fully in late summer,very thick & flanelly leaves of a deep dusty opaque green with lighter veins, remarkably suggesting those of some flat viola of the Hirta group but lying out on the ground, too heavy for their flushed fleshy & stalwart peduncles. The capsule is apparently round, the calyx fringed with many teeth: the sp. with its almond throat, is not at all a free seeder. One rocky shelf, that had been blue with blossom, yielded only some 7--8 seed-stems. Fl. May: seed nearly all gone, Sept.3.
Country: China
