FIGURE 7. The Bertholletia excelsa clade (see Fig. 45 in Mori & Prance, 1990 for vouchers except for B which is vouchered by Mori et al. 17503). A. Flower showing petals tightly pressed against androecium and turned downward at their apices. B. Calyx, ovary, and style. Note that the calyx consists of two lobes, the ovary is inferior and very short and the style is oblique. C. Cross-section of 4-locular ovary. D. Medial section of androecium showing swept in vestigial stamens and the anterior ligular extension. E. Fruit showing that the opercular opening is smaller in diameter than the diameter of the seeds. F. Operculum. Note that it drops into the inside of the fruit a maturity. G. Seed. This is the only neotropical Lecythidaceae with a ligneous seed coat. H. A seedling. The embryo lacks cotyledons and is mostly composed
