The exterior is formed of more slender coloured filaments; the interior, of flattened and petaloid tongues, at first incurved. The androecium is also united at the base with the corolla; it is formed of five bundles of stamens, superposed to the sepals. Each bundle generally contains four stamens, the two exterior alone being fertile, formed of a filament surmounted by a unilocular ⢠Fl. Owar. ii. 29, t. 78.âTukp. Diet. So. Nat.
