Description
editLavandula pinnata is a shrub growing between 18 and 24 inches in height, with opposite, simple, pinnately dissected leaves, and square stems. Leaves are covered in fine white hairs, giving the plant a downy appearance. Flowers are deep violet in colour,[4] with single or triple flower spikes, blooming from late spring to summer.[5]
Taxonomy
editAs of 4 February 2018[update], the original authorship of the name "Lavandula pinnata" varies by source. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families attributes the name to Johan Daniel Lundmark in 1780,[1] a view followed by The Plant List and Tropicos. GRIN Taxonomy and the African Plant Database attribute the name to the younger Carl Linnaeus (1780); the International Plant Names Index has the same attribution, but without a date, as well as noting the use of the name by Conrad Moench in 1802.
