This week: Lythraceae, a worldwide family of herbs & trees. They have hypanthia, petals crumpled in bud & inferior ovaries. Crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) is a popular summer-flowering tree in the South. ‘Cherry Mocha’ is a cultivar with dark leaves & red flowers. #Lythraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

I’ll close out Lythraceae week with pomegranate, a fruit that has been used symbolically & materially for millennia. It is often cultivated not for its fruits but for its vibrant orange-red flowers. The cultivar ‘Nana’ is a dwarf that comes true from seed. #Lythraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Another tropical Lythraceae of note is Duabanga grandiflora, a tree with large flowers pollinated by bats! 🦇 Bats are big pollinators. They need a decent reward if they’re going to work as pollinators. Check out all the hard-working nectaries just inside the stamen whorl. #Lythraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

La orilla de pequeñas lagunitas costeras que conservan algo de agua dulce son ahora muy buenos sitios para encontrar flores e insectos interesantes. Epilobium hirsutum (Onagraceae) + abeja cleptoparásita Thyreus (izq); Lythrum salicaria (Lythraceae) + avispa Campsomeriella thoracica (Scoliidae)
Dos flores rosadas de distinta forma, una con una abeja de colores blanco y negro, y la otra con una avispa negra y roja

The large flowers of Duabanga grandiflora are bat-pollinated, & bats consume lots of nectar. The intrastaminal nectaries are large and chunky. #Lythraceae #nectary #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Cuphea is a genus of tropical plants. Some of its species rely on hummingbirds for pollination. They typically have long tubular hypanthia, which are brightly colored. Many are cultivated as ornamentals, like this one, Cuphea ignea. #Lythraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Lagerstroemia floribunda var. cuspidata has clusters of pink flowers that fade to white. What’s the advantage of retaining the old, faded flowers? They add to the floral display, without diverting pollinators, who are quick to learn not to visit old flowers. #Lythraceae #color #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
