The marginal flowers are exactly like the others, even to 
the rim from which the petals and stamens arise.

Flores imbedded in the dilated portions, generally on its 
Surfaces, a few are marginal. The amorphous end of the 
cauda, also bears 2 or 3, they are arranged in oblique lines, 
those of the two surfaces do not correspond, they are ar- 
ranged in oblique lines, which at the truncate end of each 
Wing (or base of angle) follow its curvature. Each flower is 
surrounded by a roundish brownish cicatrix, then comes the 
rim of the calyx, thickened very obscurely, 4-toothed, then 
the petals, flat and valvate in zstivation, expanded, they are 
recurved, reflexed. Pet. triangulari-cordata viridescent.
