Plagiobothrys plurisepaleus

Plagiobothrys plurisepaleus (common name - White rochelia)[2] is a species of flowering plant in the borage family.[1] It is native to Australia, being found in all mainland states: New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory,[3] in moist areas in and around claypans.[4]

Description

The inflorescence is coiled in bud, but generally elongates in fruit. The pedicels are generally 0–1 mm, and the flower is bisexual with the sepals fused below the middle.[5]

Taxonomy

It was first described as Maccoya sepalea in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller,[1][6] but was assigned to the genus, Plagiobothrys, in 1928 by Ivan Murray Johnston.[7]
