Total species 57 [+] 63 [=] 120 species
Genera with irregular flowers or some peculiarity leading to self-fertilisation 8 Leguminosa Ajuga Adlumia Fumaria Hypericum Reseda Mimulus Convolvulus Vandellia Bartonia Euphrasia Specularia Impatiens Canna 21 47 |
Plants with very small flowers Trifolium arvense & procumbens Vicia hirsute Fumaria officinalis & capreolata Vandellia (?)
Stellaria media Apium pratensis Galium aparine we may say 9 of the species very small & inconspicuous flowers 8 or 9 / 55 — but I am doubtful about Vandellia
