Interactive maps: Point Distribution Maps The fruit is a capsule about 2 mm in diameter and 3-4 mm long with many small, ovoid dust-like seeds (< 1 mm long) (USDA plants database 2008). The short-styled type has long and medium length stamens, the medium type has long and short stamens, and the long-styled has medium to short stamens. Individual plants may have flowers of three different types classified according to stylar length as short, medium, and long. Twelve stamens are typical for each flower. The showy corolla (up to 2 cm across) is rose-purple and consists of five to seven petals. Typically the calyx lobes are narrow and thread-like, six in number, and less than half the length of the petals. The calyx and corolla are fused to form a floral tube (also called a hypanthium) that is cylindrical (4-6 mm long), greenish, and 8-12 nerved. Each inflorescence is spike-like (1-4 cm long), and each plant may have numerous inflorescences. Leaf surfaces are pubescent (USDA Plants Database 2008). Its leaves are sessile, opposite or whorled, lanceolate (2-10 cm long and 5-15 mm wide), with rounded to cordate bases. Its 50 stems are four-angled and glabrous to pubescent. ![]() Identification: Purple loosestrife is an erect perennial herb in the loosestrife family (Lythraceae) that develops a strong taproot, and may have up to 50 stems arising from its base. ![]()
