A foxglove with a peloric flower. (Digitalis purpurea 'monstrosa')

A peloric foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) flower

Pelorism is the term, said to be first used by Charles Darwin, for the formation of 'peloric flowers'[1] which botanically is the abnormal production of radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) flowers in a species that usually produces bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic) flowers.[2] These flowers are spontaneous floral symmetry mutants. The term epanody is also applied to this phenomenon.[3] Bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic) flowers are known to have evolved several times from radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) flowers, these changes being linked to increasing specialisation in pollinators.[4]
