Etymology
The genus name, Calystegia is derived from the Greek: kalux, "cup", and stegos, "a covering", meaning "a covering cup" and refers to the bracteoles enclosing the calyx. The specific epithet, affinis, is Latin for 'neighbouring',[5] which was possibly chosen by Endlicher on the basis of his comment that the species was closely allied to Calystegia marginata.[6]
Description
Calystegia affinis is a thin-stemmed plant in the genus Calystegia which climbs by twining. It has sparse alternate, arrow-headed leaves about 6 cm x 5 cm.[2] The flowers are axillary,[7] solitary, pink with five[7] cream longitudinal bands and are funnel-shaped.[2] They have large persistent bracteoles enclosing the calyx which has five sepals and five petals.[7] The fruit is a papery capsule[2] which splits longitudinally into four valves.[7] The plant is thought to reproduce both clonally and by seed.[2]
Taxonomy
Calystegia affinis was first described by Endlicher in 1833.[8][6] In 1904, Joseph Maiden renamed it Convolvulus affinis,[9] but this is considered an illegal name by the Commonwealth Heads of Australian Herbaria.[8] The other synonyms[8] (given above) are illegal names, misapplications or pro-parte misapplications, with the species concept having been refined by P.S. Green in 1994 in Flora of Australia.[10]
