Question
Hi, Can you tell me if Oenothera cruciate has been renamed? I can't seem to find it anywhere however O. parviflora pops up in a search but that was originally a different flower all together so I'm a tad confused. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Answer
Dear Jgreco, Oenothera cruciata is a form of Oenothera parviflora. This particular petal morphology has been studied in detail and found to be a simple genetic mutation that does not breed true. Therefore, it is included in Oenothera parviflora as one of the forms that can be displayed by this species. Please let me know if I can help any further.
