very pretty color.. but is it supposed to have six petals… <\/span>aren’t the flowers of Boraginaceae five petalled?\u00a0 exceptions , I guess.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

you really have a keen eye
\nPerhaps an odd flower has six petals. Most have five.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am new member. I will load some pictures of M hamata<\/i> native to Western Rajasthan. I enjoyed M himalayana<\/i> pics up loaded by … I am interested in sites\/habitat of M rubraculis<\/i> subsp. himalayana<\/i> native growing naturally in India. Can any one have any idea about this including altitude it prefer to grow (sea level), rain fall it needs. I am working on N fixation capability and microsymbiont of Indian Mimosa (M. hamata<\/i> and M. himalayana<\/i>).<\/p>\n

This species grows in subtropical belt and should not be difficult to grow in Rajasthan. We had it growing in our botanical Garden in Delhi once. It did well for several years.<\/p>\n
