There are relatively few Scrophulariaceae with zygomorphic (radially symmetric) flowers, and some googling leads me to Chaenostoma cordatum, also known as Sutera cordata and Bacopa, which is a common hanging basket plant. -- SRH |

Don't you mean "relatively few Scrophulariaceae with NON-zygomorphic flowers", or did you mean to use "actinomorphic" instead of "zygomorphic"? A good find, anyway, Stewart! -- Jeff |

Should have been non-zygomorphic, or actinomorphic, flowers - can be sure at this remove which I was thinking. Insufficient co-ordination between thinking and typing. -- SRH |
