FIGURE 11. The Eschweilera integrifolia clade. A–D. E. integrifolia (based on Cornejo 8111). E–H. E. jacquelyniae (E–F based on Hernández 828 and G–H based on Galdames 6142). I–J. E. ovalifolia (based on an unvouchered photo by S. A. Mori). A. Apical view of flower. Note the closed androecial hood typical of all species of this clade. B. Medial section of triple-coiled androecial hood. Note that there are three coils, a feature common to this clade, and that the coils are oriented horizontally. C. Lateral view of fruit. D. Apical view of a fruit with "a" marking a seed completely surrounded by the aril (= spreading aril). E. Cauline inflorescences. Note that this inflorescence is very near to the ground but other inflorescences of this species may also occur on the branches. F. Medial section of triple coiled androecium. Note that the coils are oriented vertically. G. Apical view of opened fruit with "a" marking a seed with a spreading aril. The aril is pale yellow and the immature seeds are white. H. Inside view of operculum. I. Apical view of open fruit. Note that the seeds are completely surrounded by arils. J. Cross-section of seed. Note the white layer on the outside (= aril), the seed coat, and the solid embryo which does not have differentiated cotyledons. Photos A–D by X. Cornejo, E–H by F. Hernández, and I–J by S. A. Mori.
