Plant ID ?
Could someone please tell me what this is :
http://www.terwiel.com/diversen/DSCN0636.JPG http://www.terwiel.com/diversen/DSCN0637.JPG (mature flower) the flower seems to have 12 styles/sigmas and a lot of stamen, that seem only to differentiate in a mature flowers. 5 petals 2 x 5 sepals leafs stand singel on the stem plant 2 ft high (60 cm) No woody parts. petals have dark purple veins and lighter purple borders. on other plants, the border of the petal may be almost white. |

Malvaceae, I reckon. Perhaps Malva or Lavatera? Is it wild or cultivated?

Malva sylvestris. Neither looks like a pure seed strain, but the first flower bears resemblances to the Mauritiana group, and the second to 'Zebrina'. (I could being misled by the darkness of the photograph.) If you look again at the flowers you should find one ring of 3 (not 5) bracteoles (epicalyx) and one ring of 5 sepals (calyx). The number of stamens is variable in Malva sylvestris (I've got one plant which is estaminate or nearly so), but the general run have more stamens than your image. I have yet counted mericarps for a wide variety of accessions but I've been getting more counts of 10 than 12 (the number of style arms and mericarps should be the same, and the latter is easier to count). Well grown plants can be much larger; the books say 3 ft for northern Europe and 4 feet for the Mediterranean, but I know of one (wild?) plant which has reached 9 feet, and have seen cultivated plants in excess of 6 ft. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley http://www.malvaceae.info/Identification/advice.html http://www.malvaceae.info/Genera/Malva/Malva.html |

This is definitely something in the Malvaceae or Cotton Family.
Possibly, Malva or Althaea. M.

(I could being misled by the darkness of the photograph.) yep.. thst is the one. found this: http://www.gesundheit.de/heilpflanze...ris-maur-1.jpg http://www.gesundheit.de/heilpflanze...ve/malve.shtml http://www.dianeseeds.com/malva-zebrina.html If you look again at the flowers you should find one ring of 3 (not 5) bracteoles (epicalyx) and one ring of 5 sepals (calyx). indeed. looks like sepals..but 3+5 indeed. The number of stamens is variable in Malva sylvestris (I've got one plant which is estaminate or nearly so), but the general run have more stamens than your image. I have yet counted mericarps for a wide variety of accessions but I've been getting more counts of 10 than 12 (the number of style arms and mericarps should be the same, and the latter is easier to count). Well grown plants can be much larger; the books say 3 ft for northern 3 ft could be yes... Europe and 4 feet for the Mediterranean, but I know of one (wild?) plant which has reached 9 feet, and have seen cultivated plants in excess of 6 ft. thanx all |
