Description:Plants Puzzling, exhibiting features of both V. agrestis and V. persica. The flowers are deep bluish and ~6.6mm across (matching V. agrestis perhaps). Th capsules seem intermediate between the two species, but align more with V. persica in the shape and angle of the apical notch (~90 degrees or somewhat greater). The fruits do not seem t be as reticulate veined as expected for V. persica. The pubescenceon the capsules appears to match V. agrestis.
