FIGURE 6. The Cariniana clade. A–D. C. micrantha (see Mori & Lepsch-Cunha, 1995 for vouchers). E–K. C. parvifolia (see Mori, 1995 for vouchers). L–N. C. penduliflora (see Prance in Mori & Prance, 1979 for vouchers). A. Lateral view of an androecium. This species has a very short staminal tube. B. Lateral view of a turbinate fruit. C. Operculum with its long columella. D. Seeds with unilateral wings, which adapts the seeds for wind dispersal. E. Apical view of a flower. All species of Cariniana have six petals. F. Medial section of an androecium. This species has a staminal tube extension. G. Cross-section of a 3-locular ovary. All species of this genus are predominantly 3-locular. H. Medial section of an ovary showing the long, erect style and placentation on a slightly expanded lower septum. I. Lateral view of a fruit. J. Lateral view of an operculum and its columella. K. Seed with a unilateral wing. The line running through the wing is thought to be the funicle. L. Apical view of a flower. M. Lateral view of a flower with the petals removed. The staminal tube and staminal tube extension are well developed. N. Lateral view of a medial longitudinal section of a flower. Drawings A–D by A. Tangerini, E–K by B. Angell, and L–N by B. Moyer.
