The seeds Don Martinson send me.

   This member of the Bixaceae family was described by A. Gray in 1853. It is found in the southern part of the US and Mexico. It grows in peat with some water and lots of sun. The flowers are orange, and it can only be reproduced by seeds.

Former member of the Cochlospermaceae family, now joined with the Bixaceae family. Now the Bixaceae has moved from Violales order to the Malvales.
