Wahlenbergia (Campanulaceae) 2:406 |
Wahlenbergia gymnoclada |
W. gracilis |
| Tasmania has
seven species of native Wahlenbergia. These are all slender
herbs and most species occur in
grassy vegetation, although one (W.saxicola) occurs in rocky
alpine areas. The slender pedicels with delicate blue (rarely
white), symmetrical, flowers make this a relatively distinctive
genus. The corolla tube is bell shaped, often with more or less
spreading lobes. Linum species, especially L. marginale
can sometimes be confused with this genus, but Linum have
free petals.
