Heliotropium
• All Species Accounts Heliotropium notes First Draft Overview There are 17 taxa of Heliotropium in Turkey generally, of which you will expect to encounter 4 in Antalya. Superficially some white-flowered Myosotis (Forget-me-nots) could be confused with them. Flowers and fruiting calyxes should always be opened to reveal the anthers and the fruits (usually 4 nutlets looking like a nut). Calyx measurements are from calyx base to calyx lobe tips. Flower measurements are along flower length after removal. Antalya Species Flower Faces Features to note when looking face on into the flowers and their throat (requires a clearish photo) hirsutissimum - hairy folds with uppermost appendages, vertically on the throat, jut out within the mouth, which do not continue onto the flower lobes; no anthers visible in the mouth (they are small at the distant bottom of the flower). The yellow centre of the flower can spread quite widely, as much as halfway onto the spreading flower lobe...
