Tanay: nice to know the nomenclature... Petaloid staminal tube-- very apt...
Has such anomalies been been written about? what could cause it? or are these hybrids vulnerable to such anatomical changes... most of these hybrids of tropicals are coming from Thailand... do you think may they have inserted some mutable genes that only occasionally express themselves... If you know of a book or paper please send me the ref... thanks something similar happened to one of my euphorbia milli.... I'll upload the pic if I can find it...
