FIGURE 10. The Corythophora clade. A–E. C. amapaensis (see Fig. 42 in Mori & Prance, 1990 for vouchers), F–L. C. alta (see Fig. 12 in Mori & Lepsch-Cunha, 1995 for vouchers) A. Apical view of flower. Note the closed androecial hood typical of all species in this clade. B. Inferior ovary with all but four calyx-lobes removed. Note that the calyx-lobes are strongly imbricate. C. Cross-section of 2-locular ovary. D. Medial section of an androecium with the androecial hood dorsiventrally thickened. E. Campanulate fruit base. F. Apical view of flower. G. Ovary, calyx, and style of a very young fruit. Note that the calyx-lobes are not imbricate. H. Cross-section of 2-locular ovary. I. Medial longitudinal section of androecium with dorsiventrally thickened hood. J. Cylindrical fruit. K. Operculum without a columella. L. Seeds with basal arils. The seeds of this clade are oblong to fusiform. Drawings A–E by B. Angell and F–L by A. Tangerini.
