The calyx has five lobes that are much shorter than the flower. Each flower has bilateral symmetry and has two lips. The upper lip usually has two lobes; the lower, three. The lower lip may have one large to many small red to reddish brown spots (hence the name guttata, which is Latin for 'spotted'). [10] The opening to the flower is hairy.
The bright yellow flowers are born on a raceme, most often with five or more flowers. The calyx has five lobes that are much shorter than the flower. Each flower has bilateral symmetry and has two lips. The upper lip usually has two lobes; the lower, three. The lower lip may have one large to many small red to reddish brown spots.
The genus has a leaf arrangement that is termed as alternate-distichous and the leaves are asymmetric in shape. The flowers have two lips. The older genus Klugia had four stamens compared to the typical two but Klugia from southern India are found to be very close based on molecular evidence. [2]
The flowers have five egg-shaped sepals fused at the base and five petals fused at the base to form a corolla with two "lips". The upper lip short of the corolla is erect with two lobes, the lower lip longer, spreading and three-lobed. The middle lobe itself often has two lobes. The flowers are white, pink or purple, often spotted in the throat.
The crown, slightly hairy on the outside, with shorter, rounded to indented, expansive lobes has two lips. The 4 short, dynamic stamens are included. The superior, two-chambered ovary is usually bald and the bald, enclosed, relatively short style is 13 to 16 millimeters long. It flowers profusely between spring and summer, and irregularly in ...
Like other Lamiaceae, its corolla is bilabiate meaning that it has two lips, an upper lip and a lower lip. The upper lip has one lobe and the lower lip has three lobes covered with hair on the lower side of the lobe. The flowers are bell shaped and bilaterally symmetrical, ranging in size from about one half to three fourths of an inch.
The flower bract is ovate to lanceolate and 4 to 8 mm long with 5 green or purplish segments that are glandular-hairy and pointed at their tip. The tubular corolla is glandular-hairy on the outside and 22 to 32 mm long and has two lips, the upper lip with two lobes cleft nearly half its length and the lower lip with three lobes. As in all ...
Cultivars have showy white, crimson, or yellow bilabiate flowers (with two lips). It is also important as a model organism in botanical research, and its genome has been studied in detail. Genetic studies
