| Notice the remarkably long squamul or hypogynous scales, which here nearly equal the glume in length. |
| This photo of Solomon's seal shows another example of a superior ovary and hypogynous insertion. |
| Petals usually present, as many, but mostly small or rudimentary, hypogynous. |
| The hypogynous, 5-lobed nectariferous disc considerably exceeds the ovary in volume. |
| The flowers are comparatively small, hermaphrodite, short pedicellate, complete, zygomorphic, pentamerous, polypetalous, hypogynous and light cream in colour with an average length of 1.14 cm. |
| A flower is hypogynous if the perianth and androecium are inserted around the base of the gynoecium. |
