Loasa nana

[Véronique Macrelle]

my Loasa seeds germinated late, (I couldn't believe it anymore) and here I am with a plant that does not look like , and therefore to be determined:
it is creeping, but already 30 cm long, probably perennial, because it takes advantage of the late season to branch out.
it stings stronger than Loasa triphylla ...
 I brought it into the greenhouse to hope to see the only flower that is preparing

Looks like something from Curcubitaceae, could it be a non-typical version of Ecballium elaterium (exploding cucumber)?

[Véronique Macrelle]

since it stings like a nettle (less strong), I think it's Loasaceae
 here in bloom
it looks like Loasa triphylla, but the petals are narrower and with small appendages. variant ?
 moreover the plant is creeping.
 I would have preferred a yellow or orange flower for a change.
 I have already tried to sow Loasa Acanthifolia, but without success.

If you would click back on page 1 of this thread Veronique, you will read about the fact that Blumenbachia hieronymi is often mistaken as Loasa in the seeds exchanges.
That's what your plant is (also in Fam. Loasaceae).

yes it seems ..
 it looks a lot like Loasa, as long as i wonder what justifies another genus name, which i will have to learn
