Lunaria annua L. (Honesty plant, Money plant, Chinese coins) from Kashmir:<\/a> Lunaria annua<\/i> L., Sp. pl. 2:653. 1753<\/font><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Common names: Honesty plant, annual honesty, money plant, silver dollar, Chinese money, Chinese coins, penny-flower<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Branched hairy annual or biennial herb with broadly cordate coarsely toothed leaves, lower stalked, upper sessile; flowers violet to pink, on up to 20-flowered racemes, without bracts; petals 2-3 cm long, obovate, strongly veined; fruit nearly orbicular, flattened, up to 4 cm long, slightly less broader; seeds few.<\/font>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n
Photographed from our house garden<\/font> in Balgarden, Srinagar Kashmir<\/font> on May 5, 2012.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I have feeling that plant depicted on Flowers of India is not correctly identified. It has much narrower leaves and fruits are linear and not coin-like. It may be Hesperis<\/i> sp.<\/font> <\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Fascinating and beautiful plant. New to me.
I wonder why it is called honesty plant! <\/div>\n
