Two flowers - one full-blown, one senescent of Latua pubiflora ( Solanaceae ).

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Contrast between old and new flowers on same plant of Latua pubiflora ( Solanaceae ). Senescent flower above has corolla and anthers turning tawny brown as they wither, ( though upper part of corolla and filaments still bright magenta). Full-blown, pristine flower below is, by contrast, uniformly magenta, apart from the fully-dehisced, exserted ( = protruding below corolla ) anthers with ash-grey pollen. Note also difference between respective calyces : calyx lobes of senescent flower starting to reflex after setting of fruit; while calyx of younger flower still accrescent and campanulate ( = bell-like ).
