The red florets are aggregated in small numbers in capitula. 
Most often only the ray type of floret is present. These have 
irregular corollas with 4 petals each. The abaxial petal is the 
largest and is broadly oblanceolate; the two lateral petals are 
shorter, smaller and lanceolate; the adaxial one is reduced to 
a mere white tooth one-third the size of the lateral petals. In 
These are almost 
less reduced than in the true disc florets.
