Variety traits
Scaevola inflorescence
Scaevola aemula R. Br.
The Scaevola inflorescence is an axillary spike up to 25 cm long, consisting of 5–15 flowers with a diameter of 1–3.5 cm. A notable feature is 'self-cleaning,' where spent floral parts shed naturally.
In the reference 5 varieties crop Fairy fan-flower, where this is mentioned in the description.
Scaevola inflorescences form in the leaf axils at the shoot tips. The plant's indeterminate structure ensures flowers are arranged around the shoot, while the stem apex retains the ability to continue growing. This type of inflorescence is classified as spicate, and its total length can reach 24–25 cm.
Key criteria for assessing ornamental value are flower density and bloom profusion. A single inflorescence may contain from 5 to 15 flowers, ranging from 1 to 3.5 cm in diameter. An important biological feature is the inflorescences' self-cleaning ability, which eliminates the need for manual removal of spent plant parts during maintenance.
