The calyx is ^^rcen, adherent to the ovary, and the limb divides into three, 

 lanceolate lobes. Tlie ]ietals are obovate and spreading, while the stamens 

 have all changed to petal-like members, called sfaviinodia. Only one still 

 shows its stamen origin, since the anther is seen at one side, while the fila- 

 ment is expanded laterally and upwards to form the stmninodium.
