Roles (1957)
These are the pictures intended to accompany the Clapham Tutin and Warburg Flora
of 1952. Although the habit picture shows no zizagging, it does show that T. scabrum
tends to be a more prostrate plant than T. striatum. However, T. striatum would rarely
if ever look as upright as that! This shows a disadvantage of illustrating from desk
material. The differences in leaf veining are just about apparent but you would have to
be looking carefully for them. It is clear that there is a difference in the stipules,
although one might argue that the shape of the T. striatum ones is not that clear. The
calyx features are nicely brought out, and the subtlety of the difference in shape at
flowering time is accurate. The colour detail is added as text, and the scales are clear.
