Adoxa

Adoxa moschatellina is the sole member of the genus Adoxa.

This consists of five flowers: one four-petalled flower facing upwards, and four five-petalled flowers facing horizontally, as seen in the pictures. Adoxa moschatellina from Thomé, Flora von Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz...
