“Males produce only staminate flowers with stamens and no vestigial pistils.”

“A cup-shaped staminate perianth with dorsal, fleshy, crestate appendages is present only in Endolepis dioica.”

“It was difficult to determine the duration of the staminate and pistillate phases in L. spicata because of pollinator activity.”

“The ten stamens are arranged in diadelphous fashion, with the staminal column surrounding the pistil.”

“The stamens grow together to form a closed tube around the pistil, and inside this staminal tube is found the pistil.”

“The staminal nature of this pseudo-corolla is inferred from the occasional presence of anthers on it.”

“Stamineal urceole 10-15-toothed, with 5-10 of the teeth obtuse and sterile, and the 5 remaining ones alternate and monantherous.”
