Wendlandia basistaminea

Wendlandia basistaminea is a member of the Rubiaceae family, endemic to Queensland. [3] It was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1892. [3] [4]

Mueller described the plant from a specimen collected by Stephen Johnson on the Russell River in Queensland. [4]

Branchlets appressedly almost sericiously pubescent ; leaves on short petioles or almost sessile, chartaceous, mostly ovate-lanceolar, short-acuminate, at the base rounded-blunt, above nearly glabrous, beneath particularly along the costules and venules beset with very short hairlets ; stipules almost deltoid, incised at the apex, soon deciduous; panicles with cymous or fasciculate flowers, appressedly short-pubescent ; lobes of the calyx deltoid-semilanceolar ; corolla-tube about thrice as long as the calyx-lobes, sparingly puberulous inside, slightly constricted at the upper end ; corolla-lobes nearly glabrous, not much shorter than the tube ; stamens fixed close to the base of the corolla and nearly as long as its tube, completely enclosed, as well as the style glabrous; dehiscence of fruit more readily loculicidal than septicidal; seeds minute, ovate, outside brown and reticular-rough. Leaves simply opposite, to 5 inches long, to 134 inches broad, flat, paler and often brownish beneath. Panicle terminal, inclusive. [4]

<i>Mertensia sibirica</i> Species of flowering plant

Mertensia sibirica, commonly known as Japanese bluebells or Siberian bluebells, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Boraginaceae. Originally discovered by Carolus Linnaeus, who named it Pulmonaria sibirica, this plant is found, as its name implies, in Eastern Siberia and northern China. After review of the plant's morphology, its taxonomic position was changed to Mertensia sibirica by botanist and plant collector George Don, who put forth the notion of the change, which was eventually accepted, most likely due to the striking resemblance to the related species in the Americas like Mertensia virginica, or Virginia bluebells.
