The blue flowers, the lack of barbate pubescence in the throat of the tubular corolla (according to the protologue figure), and the apparently exserted stigmas (all these features are illustrated or described in the protologue) are quite anomalous features in Mussaenda.The blue flowers, the lack of barbate pubescence in the throat of the tubular corolla (according to the protologue figure), and the apparently exserted stigmas (all these features are illustrated or described in the protologue) are quite anomalous features in Mussaenda.
