Onosma sanninensis

الوصف النباتي

الأوراق

Leaves : Basal leaves forming a rosette; largest blades 4–5 cm long, up to 1.8 cm wide, spathulate to oblanceolate, obtuse or subobtuse. Cauline leaves alternate, up to 3.5 × 1.6 cm, oblanceolate, progressively smaller toward the inflorescence. Lower (older) leaves show signs of senescence, becoming silver-white or canescent as they desiccate.

الأزهار

Inflorescence & flowers : Terminal cymes, typically uniparous but often biparous, with 5–15 flowers. In dichasial cymes, a solitary flower usually occupies the central position at the bifurcation point, forming a diagnostic V-shape—though rarely replaced by a flower pair. Pedicels 1–3 mm in flower, up to 6 mm in fruit. Bracts linear-lanceolate to narrowly linear, 3–7 mm, equal to or longer than pedicels.، Calyx : Deeply 5-lobed; lobes linear, acute, 17 mm long at anthesis, accrescent to 22 mm in fruit, densely covered with white, appressed, bristly hairs.، Corolla : Tubular-campanulate, 22–24 × 5 mm; exterior papillate with minor pilosity below lobes. Lobes acuminate and revolute; initially bright yellow, aging through orange-red-brown to dark purple-blue.، Stamens : Filaments ca. 4 mm long; anthers linear, up to 7 mm, basifixed.
