Names
FAGONIA cretica Harv. var. glandulosa [family ZYGOPHYLLACEAE]
Information
glandularly pubescent; leaflets rhombic-ovate or ovato-lanceolate, the lateral unequal-sided, spinoso-mucronate; stipules subulate, pungent, patent; capsule pubescent or glandular, broader than long. Stems woody at base, procumbent, much branched. Petioles 4–7 lines long; the leaflets as long or shorter, 3–4 lines wide, the medial twice the width of the lateral. Flowers lilac-purple, with bright orange stamens. Except in pubescence this does not differ from the plant of the North African desert. We have equally pubescent specimens from India.
