Description

The anthers of Limonium peregrinum flowers visible here are beige and brown. They are not neatly shaped, on account of ripe pollen hovering on the surfaces for pollinators to brush against and remove. The filaments are deeper pink-purple than the corollas of the open flowers but not as bright as the outsides of the still furled bud corollas that taper, cone-shaped above the truncated calyx bases.

There are five narrow, still deeper tinted sepal lobes in view, topping the calyx. These lobes reach about halfway up the corollas (Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
