| In abnormal male flowers, stamens develop as carpelloid structures, whilst in abnormal female flowers, the staminodes develop as pseudocarpel structures. |
| Fully hardy and into flower around mid April, the nodding, long, 3 in petals are snow white with yellow-tipped white staminodes. |
| The staminodes and the adjacent carpels in ABFs form a continuous ring and are inserted on a single whorl. |
| The plants produce numerous cormlets and the flowers are lighter in color with more prominent inrolled staminodes. |
| The cocoa flower has five free sepals, five free petals, five staminodes, five stamens and an ovary of five united carpels. |
