Dactylicapnos cordata Lidén or. Dactylicapnos odontocarpa Lidén ???
correction : SK 3803 18 July 2023 Dactylicapnos cordata. See the broad flower and the inner petals that appear to be much protruding. The two species differ substantially also in position of leaflets: D. cordata having the two primary leaflets opposite, whereas in odontocarpa they are well separated on the leaf rhachis. Finally, the pedicels in D. odontocarpa are basally arcuate-reflexed, whereas they are ± straight in D. cordata. Thank you Dr. Liden for ID as Dactylicapnos cordata Lidén. I was guessing so but could not confirm !
