Nolana lycioides is a plant type from the genus Nolana in the family of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The species occurs in parts of northern Chile and southern Peru .
description
Nolana lycioides are loose, but rigidly branched shrubs up to 1 m in height. Even the outermost, thinnest branches are lignified. The branches are 2 to 6 cm long, the distance between two internodes is usually only 1 to 5 mm. They are densely covered with stalked, indistinctly wire-haired trichomes . The flat or almost flat foliage leaves are cluster-like together, they are spatulate, the tip is rounded, the length reaches 5 to 9 mm, the width 0.5 to 0.9 mm, their surface is covered with hairy glands.
The flower stalks are 3 to 8 mm long and slender, on the fruit they enlarge slightly. The calyx is hairy with dense glands, 4 mm long at flowering time and about 6 to 7 mm long on the fruit. It is usually split almost to the base, but always at least halfway and thus divided into uneven, wedge-shaped, 2 to 3 mm long tips. The blue crown has a length of 2.2 to 2.7 mm, it is weakly glandular and hairy with downy hair, especially the inside is hairy with fine downy hair. The corolla tube is 8 to 10 mm long and less than 1 mm wide. The crown throat suddenly widens to a diameter of 10 to 12 (rarely even 6) mm. The adjoining coronet measures 18 to 20 mm in diameter. The corolla lobes are rounded and ascending. The stamens are unevenly long, linear, hairless and fixed to the upper edge of the corolla tube.
The collective fruits consist of five to eight nut-like partial fruits that are arranged in a row.
distribution
The species is common in Chile in the northern part of the Tarapacá province , in Peru it occurs in the southern parts of the Moquegua and Tacna departments .
Systematics
Phylogenetic studies revealed that the species is most closely related within the genus to Nolana arequipensis , Nolana cerrateana , Nolana confinis , Nolana gayana , Nolana intonsa , Nolana johnstonii , Nolana pallida , Nolana pilosa , Nolana thinophila , Nolana tomentella and Nolana volcanica . With the exception of Nolana intonsa (from Chile ), all species come from Peru, they form a monophyletic clade .
