Another thank you to Lotus J. aka ngawangchodron@Flickr for sharing a photograph with us (original via the BPotD Flickr Group Pool). Much appreciated!

There are six species within the genus Rehmannia, and they are collectively known as the Chinese foxgloves. Rehmannia currently resides in taxonomic limbo; no one is quite certain as to what plant family it should belong to. Both Wikipedia and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group comment on its uncertain familial placement.
