Well, normally Antirrhinum produces these typical 'snapdragon' flowers, which are 'bilaterally symmetric', but some of the newer varieties have peloric flowers, i.e. they look like gloxinias or even bellflowers. In fact, the peloric flower features the original shape, which further developed into the bilaterally symmetric form during evolution, in order to adapt to their pollinating insects. The same can be observed for foxglove, Digitalis - here you can see a peloric flower at the tip of the inflorescence: [link] .
Glad you explained it, thank you. When i googled it for the name (spelling) it had snapdragons to, i've also got these & was definatly confused. Thanks for clearing that one up
