FIGURE 5. Main flowering characteristics of the genus Eperua: A–C: position of the bracteoles on the pedicel; A. attached to the higher portion of the pedicels or at the base of the hypanthium, E. oleifera var. oleifera; B. attached to the middle portion of the pedicels at slightly different levels, E. purpurea; C. attached to the lower portion of the pedicels, E. jenmanii subsp. sandwithii; D. size differences between the petalodia (smaller) the adaxial petal (bigger), E. jenmanii subsp. jenmanii; E. size of one petalodia compared with the staminal tube and intrastaminal nectaries (sepals and adaxial petal removed), E. reddeniae; F. heteromorphic anthers in E. purpurea, the smaller are sterile and the bigger produce pollen; G–I. conation of the stamens; G. joined basally in an inequilateral, diadelphous sheath, E. glabriflora var. glabriflora; H. joined basally in an equilateral, diadelphous sheath, E. leucantha; I.. joined basally in tube, E. rubiginosa var. rubiginosa.
