Calandrinia ciliata (formerly known as C. caulescens
and C.
menziesii; Portulacaceae) 1:79

|
| Calandrinia
ciliata is a moderately common weed in Tasmania. The
conspicuous purple flowers make it quite distinctive. The leaves are
usually petiolate (sometimes with petioles up to 2.5cm long), up to
five cm long with the lamina almost as wide as long. It is quite
distinctive from the native species of this genus, which have
sessile, elongate, obviously succulent leaves and small flowers that
range in colour from white to pink to purple. |
