A Surprising fact about the calyx
Regarding the calyx Kazmi in his authoritative work writes under the heading Nonea Medicus ,Philos .Bot.1:31.1789.:
"Calyx 5-fid , shortly or for ½ of its length, never divided to the base, enlarged in fruit.."
(SMA Kazimi : A Revision Of The Boraginaceae of West Pakistan And Kashmir(1971), Journal of Arnold Arboretum,pp670-71.).
I had fortunately two flowers left in the plant I had transferred to the planter. I reexamined the calyx and found it is divided to the base. This is also evident in the fruit. (See photos).It thus seems to me that it is either a sub genus or something different. Would request the opinion of experts. Many features resemble the genus Nonea including position of anthers, gynobasic very short style morphology and attachment of nutlet which I will put in a subsequent post.
