The | The '''''Chaenostoma cordatum''''',{{cite web|http://cube.ign.com/articles/100/100417p1.html|Meet the Pikmin Flower|IGN}} commonly known as the '''Bacopa''', '''Ornamental Bacopa''','''Sutera cordata''' or '''Pikmin Flower''', is a type of real-world flower that was used to model the flowers that [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the flower [[Maturity|stage]] grow on their heads. They come in different colors: white, lavender, and magenta/violet. So far, in the Pikmin species, all three of these colors have been used, each symbolizing a generation of ''[[Pikmin series|Pikmin]]'', or a new game in the series. The magenta color has been used on all new Pikmin types (not counting Bulbmin) in {{p2}}, or the second generation of Pikmin species. The lavender color has been used to top all the new species in {{p3}}, or the third generation of Pikmin. The family of these plants is called {{w|scrophulariaceae}}, which is also commonly called the [[figwort family]]. [[Onions]] also have a part on the top that looks quite similar to a ''Chaenostoma cordatum''. | ||

Because the flower is considered so important, and because of its simple, yet recognizable shape, the ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' is as much of a staple of the [[Pikmin series|franchise]] as the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] themselves. In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], a ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' is used as the icon for the ''Pikmin'' series. In the ''Pikmin'' games themselves, the flowers are used decoratively outside of the core game. The logotype of any game in the series is made up of several ''Chaenostoma cordatum'', and some menus use small flower icons as markers used to represent the currently highlighted option. | Because the flower is considered so important, and because of its simple, yet recognizable shape, the ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' is as much of a staple of the [[Pikmin series|franchise]] as the [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] themselves.

{{pb}} is the only ''Pikmin'' game where not all flower-stage Pikmin have a ''Chaenstoma cordatum'' on their head, as other types of flowers appear in the game. | |||
