Nemophila menziesii Hook. & Arn.

Nemophila menziesii, known commonly as baby blue eyes or baby's-blue-eyes, is an annual herb, native to western North America.

Distribution

The plant is native to California, Baja California, and Oregon.

It grows virtually throughout California at elevations from sea level up to almost 6,500 feet (2,000 m). It grows in many types of habitats, including chaparral, valley grasslands, and montane locales.

Description

Nemophila menziesii is variable in appearance. The leaves are lobed and oppositely arranged. The flowers are blue or white.

Varieties

The species includes three varieties, two of which bear blue flowers, which are:

• Nemophila menziesii var. atomaria has white flowers with black dots, often with a faint blue tint or blue veins in the corolla. It is found on coastal bluffs or grassy slopes in Oregon, Northwestern California, the Central Coast of California, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
• Nemophila menziesii var. integrifolia has blue flowers, with black dots at the center and deep blue veins. It is found in grasslands, canyons, woodlands, and slopes in the Central Coast, southern Coast Ranges, southwestern California, east of the Sierra Nevada range, and into the Mojave Desert and Baja California
• Nemophila menziesii var. menziesii has bright blue flowers with white centers that are generally dotted with black. It is found virtually throughout California, in meadows, grasslands, chaparral, woodlands, slopes, and desert washes, but it does not occur above 5200 feet (1600 meters).

Cultivation

It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant, as annual wildflower in native plant, water conserving, traditional, and wildlife gardens.

It can occasionally be found outside its native range as an introduced species, such as in Alaska.

We report a case of a 22-year-old primigravida of Negroid origin who delivered dichorial diamniotic twins: two daughters were born with a totally different appearance. The first child had a light brown skin, black curly hair and brown eyes, whereas the second had a striking white skin, red-blond curly hair and blue eyes. Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and heteropaternal superfecundation were considered in the differential diagnosis. Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of OCA type 2 in the second child. The diagnosis of albinism has clinical implications and must be considered when a black and white twin is born.

• Acrodysostosis with unusual iridal color changing with age.

• Nii E, Urawa M, Nshimura T, Kitou H, Ikegawa S, Shimizu S, Taneda H, Uchida A, Niikawa N.Author information Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mie Prefectural Kusanomi Rehabilitation Center, Tsu, Japan. niie00@pref.mie.jpAbstractAcrodysostosis is a rare congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by peculiar facial appearance with a small nose and an open mouth, short stature, short metacarpotarsal, and phalangeal bones with cone-shaped epiphyses, advanced bone-age, and variable degrees of mental retardation. It is most likely that the disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant mode, its pathogenesis has remained unknown. We report a 4-year-old Japanese girl who suffered from acrodysostosis with unusual iridal color. The color of patient's irides was gray-bluish in her infancy but became light-brownish by age 4 years. Of eight Japanese patients reported, four had abnormal eye color: a 7-month-old boy with blue irides and his 2-year-old elder sister with light-blue eyes a 6-year-old girl with gray-brownish irides, and a 4-year-old girl (present case) with blue-brownish irides. The degree of iris pigmentation in acrodysostosis patients may change with age. It is likely that the putative gene for acrodysostosis might play a role not only in remodeling of bones but also in iris pigmentation.
