Fie. 1, flower-bud; 2, section through same; 3, scales outside calyx; 4, petal; 
5 and 6, stamens; 7, staminode ; 8, pistil and torus; 9, transverse section through 
same; 10, fruit; 11, transverse section through the fruit; 12, endocarp and 
an old ovule (inverted). All enlarged except 10 and 11, which are of natural size. 
N.B.—Most of the stamens in the fully expanded flower are relatively longer and 
arrower than in 5 and 6. The syncarpous appearance of 9 is due to the carpels 
being closely pressed against one another.
