| Each flower has a lemma and a palea at its base, and contains two lodicules and one pistil surrounded by three anthers. |
| Out of the folds of the shawl her neck rose as erect as the pistil of an arum lily. |
| The pistil and the stamen of the flowers are the specialized organs responsible for the reproductive processes. |
| The flowers comprise a five-part calyx, a five-part white corolla, ten stamens and a pistil. |
| Five united stamens are adnate to the top of the pistil, which is made up of five connate carpels. |
| These serve as nectaries, s, the whorl of stamens inserted on the thalamus and surrounding the pistil. |
