between the segments; outer segments elliptic-lanceolate, 
acute, sub-equal, margins entire; inner segments obovate, 
obtuse, margins erose, upper rather the largest with a 
yellow heart-shaped eye which is margined with white. 
Filaments sub-equal, all short, papillose; three upper 
shortly exserted, three lower included in the tube, one 
placed lower than the others; anthers short, ovoid-oblong.
