Trachyandra falcata unequal capacity

Branched inflorescences have been produced by both these Trachyandra falcata plants. Flowering has nearly reached the tops of most racemes in the panicles.

The smaller plant has lost the competition for size, also in leaf width and length. Still, it may have about the same number of flowers open per raceme as big brother (Manning, 2007; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997).
