FIGURE 6. A. Prophylls and peduncular bracts ribbed with elongate, unbranched fibers, both bracts tubular, narrow, elongate, closely sheathing the peduncle, more or less persistent. B. Prophyll short, asymmetrically apiculate, the margins curved around the stem, the surfaces flat with dense, felty, brown tomentum. C. Prophyll surface ridged, with close, equal, parallel, non-dividing ridges, scarcely tomentose between the ridges. D. Prophyll surface ridged, the ridges unequally wide, dividing from and rejoining other ridges, the prophylls usually splitting irregularly between the ridges. E. Prophyll margins with irregular, spine-like projections. F. Peduncular bract vestigial (arrowed), the prophyll three times or more long; stem cane-like, the internodes longer than wide; internodes yellowish and smooth. G. Rachilla surface with spiky, fibrous projections or ridges. H. Rachillae drying brown, the surfaces with faint to pronounced, short, transverse ridges; rachillae filiform with extended narrowed sections between the flower pits; flower pits alternately arranged; proximal and distal lips joined laterally with no clear gap between them, forming a raised cupule, the margins not overlapping.
