Bibliographic record
Abstract
Linum usitatissimum Linnaeus (1753: 277). (Fig. 10d). Type:—Habitat hodie inter segetes, Europae australis. Herb. Clifford 114, Linum no. 1. (lectotype BM!). Linum angustifolium Hudson (1778: 134). Linum humile Miller (1768: 2). Description:— Herbs, annual, 20–100 cm in height, glabrous, root thick; stems erect, smooth to simple striate, sometimes sparsely branched from the base, cylindrical, glabrous. Leaves entire, alternate, linear to linear-lanceolate, 10.0–40.0 × 0.7–3.0(4.0) mm, sessile, apex acute to acuminate, 1-nerved, scariose, glabrous, stipular glands absent. Inflorescence an open cymose panicle, glabrous; pedicels glabrous, 20-35 mm long; bracts 10.0–24.0 mm long, glabrous, margin entire, apex acute, stipular glands absent; sepals persistent, elliptical to ovate, 5–8 mm long, margin entire, thoroughly ciliated toward the apex or finely ciliate-fimbriate, scariose, apex acuminate, 1-nerved, stipular glands absent; petals blue, obovate, 9–15 mm long, glabrous; stamens 4.0–5.0(7.0) mm long; anthers (1.0)1.8–2.0 mm long, bright-yellow; staminodia absent; styles free or connate at the base, 3.0–6.0 mm long; stigmata linear or claviform, white. Fruit widely ovate to subglobose, yellow, 6–10 × 5–10 mm, glabrous, pericarp thick, apex rounded, dehiscent into 10 segments; false septa ciliated; seeds lanceolate, brown, 4.0–6.0 × 2.5–3.0 mm. Distribution: —Native of Europe and Asia (India, Eastern Mediterranean and Near East). Introduced in America, in Canada, United States of America; in Mexico, in Coahuila, State of Mexico, Jalisco, Michoacan, Nuevo Leon, and Sonora (Fig. 2b); to South America; in Asia (far East), South Africa, and Australia. Habitat and ecology: —Ruderal and cropland. Elevation 1900–3000 m. Limestone Andosol, Cambisol, Phaeozem, Planosol, Regosol, and Vertisol soil types. Phenology: —Flowering and fruiting throughout the year. Note: —This blue-flowered species can easily be confused with L. lewisii; however, the size of the plant, leaves, and fruits are larger in L. usitatissimum. Besides, the linear to claviform styles, as well as its habitat, are key characters for differentiating the species. Conservation status: — Linum usitatissimum is the only species of the family in Mexico that is introduced and naturalized. It is considered a crop, ruderal and weed species (Martínez-Orea et al. 2020). Specimens examined: — MEXICO.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
