Nemophila (Greek, nemos, a grove, and phileo, to love; referring to the habitat of some species). Hydrophyllaceae. Hardy annual herbs blooming abundantly from early spring to late summer. Whole plant more or less hairy: st. diffuse, becoming prostrate: lvs. alternate or opposite, pinnately lobed or divided, petiolate: fl.-stalks usually longer than the lvs., terminal or lateral, slender, 1-fld., in one or two species inclined to be racemose; fls. blue, white, purple, or variously spotted; calyx 5-parted; lobes erect or spreading, with 5 supplementary reflexed lobes alternating with them, increasing in size when fruiting; corolla broadly bell-shaped or wheel-shaped, deeply 5-lobed, with 10 scaly appendages on the inside of the throat; ovary hairy; styles glabrous: caps, globose, hairy, smaller than calyx-lobes. The chief source of information is in the monograph of the hydrophyllaceae; in Das Pflanzenreich, hft. 59, p. 42, by A. Brand; also in Syn. Flor. of N. Amer., vol. II, part I, p. 155, by Asa Gray. Brand recognizes 18 species and over 50 subspecies and varieties, all from N. Amer. Nemophilas are of dwarf, compact habit, and produce an abundance of showy bell-shaped flowers from early spring to late summer; hence they are valued for bedding and for the border.
