Description
Genus Hackelia
Herbs perennial
or annual
, appressed
strigose
or villous
, 20-100 cm tall. Leaves alternate, green, large, thin. Inflorescences rarely solitary, terminal
, not branched or paniculate
. Fruiting pedicel deflexed
. Calyx 5-parted to base
or nearly so; lobes
enlarged in fruit, vertical
to reflexed
. Corolla blue, light blue, or light purple, rarely yellow or white, campanulate-rotate to campanulate-tubular; throat
with appendages
, rarely appendages obscure
or absent; lobes 5, imbricate in bud, vertical or divaricate
at anthesis
. Stamens inserted
on corolla, included
; anthers
orbicular
, ovate
to oblong
. Style and stigma solitary, usually not exceeding nutlets
. Gynobase
short pyramidal
, to 2-3 mm.
Nutlets 4, all or some developed, turbinate
to ovoid
, triangular-ovoid and dorsally
compressed
, marginal
rib
with compressed triangular to lanceolate glochids.
About 45 species: mainly in temperate regions
of the Northern Hemisphere, and Central and South America; three species in China.
Lian & Wang (Acta Phytotax. Sin. 18: 514-520. 1980; Fl.
Reipubl. Popularis Sin. 64(2) : 116-151. 1989) argued that the differences between Eritrichium and Hackelia are insufficient to keep them as separate genera. However, the gynobase in Eritrichium is cushion-shaped, to 1 mm high, while in Hackelia it is distinctly conical
and 2-3 mm high. It is likely that other species from China listed under Eritrichium will need to be transferred to Hackelia in the future.[1]
