Freylinia tropica flower

The pale bluish mauve Freylinia tropica flower in picture displays its rounded petal lobes joined near the corolla mouth. The inside of the flower tube that may become 1 cm long is creamy white; so are the anthers.

Note the unevenly distributed marginal teeth on the upper leaf parts (Coates Palgrave, 2002; www.plantzafrica.com).
