In the lobules, and sometimes in the perianth, are occasionally found 
from 1 to 3 orbicular lens-shaped bodies the size of the antheridia but 
whitish and opaque. They have a minute marginal umbo, but no stalk.

Obs. The perianth furnished with two winged and ciliated keels at the 
back makes this plant seem, at first sight, very different from L. axillaris, 
whose perianth has only one broad and usually unarmed keel underneath; 
but in reality this one keel arises from the confluence, in mature and 
postmature perianths, of two obtuse keels, standing not very widely apart 
below and uniting above, a little below the apex of the perianth, where 
they are usually armed with a single spine or cilium; and (very rarely 
indeed) one of these keels will have two or three additional subapical 
spines.—The narrower and less saccate lobules may arise from the fact 
that hypogynous antheridia are much rarer in L. hypoacantha, although 
the inflorescence is the same as in L. avillaris. A form of the latter from 
Mt. Azuay, with normal perianths, has the leaf-lobule almost as in L. 
hypoacantha, but the marginal teeth are fewer, larger, and sharper.
