| Sisyrinchium
micranthium (blue pigroot) is an occasional weed of
roadsides and waste areas. It has very flattened stems with
scattered, flattened, glaucous leaves up to 20cm long. The
flowers are white-cream with purplish veins, with six more
or less similar petals/sepals. The flowers occur in clusters
of 2-5 (usually with only one flower open at a time). The
stamens and styles are short and hidden by the perianth
parts. The filaments of the stamens form a tube around the
styles. |
