About Nemophila heterophylla Fisch. & C.A.Mey.
Nemophila heterophylla is an annual herb that produces a fleshy, delicate, usually hairy stem. Its lower leaves are oppositely arranged and divided into several wide lobes. Upper leaves are smaller, narrower, and alternately arranged. Flowers grow singly, each borne on a short pedicel. Each flower has a calyx made of sepals; each sepal is a few millimeters long, pointed, covered in long hairs, and there are reflexed appendages between the sepals. The bowl-shaped corolla of the flower is white or blue, and ranges from a few millimeters to over a centimeter wide. The fruit is a capsule that develops inside the calyx of sepals, and holds a few yellowish seeds.
