sometimes wing-like enlarging, or the tube or base of tube engrossing 
and turning fleshy. Petals 3-7, rarely none, free or very rarely 
united with the torus, sometimes enlarging into wings. Disk usually 
annular, rarely the torus raised and stalk-like. Stamens penalty 
rarely climbing, with alternate or rarely opposite, often crowded,
