L. usu. alt., exstip., generally, as well as the rest of the plant, covered with stout hairs (hence the name Asperifolieae, by which the B. are sometimes known). Infl. a coiled cincinnus, sometimes double, with a marked dorsiventrality. As the fls. open it uncoils, so that the newly opened fls. face always in the same direction. The morphology of this infl. is but imperfectly understood; adnation or concrescence occurs, and apparently dichotomy at the growing apex. The general agreement is, however, in favour of the view that the "boragoid," as it is sometimes called, is composed of dorsi-ventral monopodia. Cf. Nat. Pfl., Miiller in Flora, 94, Schumann, Morphol. Studien, n. Fl. ?, usu. reg., hypog., and 5-merous. rarely valvate, the odd sepal post.; C (5), funnel-shaped or tubular, the limb usu. flat; AS, epipet., alt. to petals, anthers introrse; G(2), on hypog. disc, usu.
