Mazus
pumilio is a small, low growing native herb that is common in swampy
places. The flowers are conspicuous, and are often the most obvious
part of the plant. They show strong bilateral symmetry with a very
large, three-lobed lower lip and small upper lip. The leaves are clustered in a basal
rosette. Mimulus repens
is another mauve-flowered member of Scrophulariaceae that grows in
swampy places, but has elongate stems and much less asymmetrical
flowers. |
