No. 2656A. Godetia. Petals with a deep (sharply defined) purple zone at base, above this white, shading to the lilac-tinged apex, outside wholly lilac. Some fls. [flowers] show sprinkle of dots above the purple. Stigmas white, narrowly oblong, densely short hairy. Shorter anthers often purple dotted, these erect and dehiscing first the 4 [four] longer stamens lying close against the sides of the flower or even pushed through the petal intervals to the outside of the flower.
