Hi Sheila, I think Giby wanted to only compare the stigmas in "*Lasianthus*" and in the plant in discussion.
Flora of China says stigma lobes 3-9. Even in the poster picture, I see multiple stigmas clustered together on a common style, as we see in the picture in Giby's link. My doubt is the shape of stigma lobes...FoC says they are "linear or lanceolate" which is not the case in our plant. But our plant also has multiple stigmas but appear as capitate. I see more than 6 lobes here. Number of corolla lobes is variable in Lasianthus (4-6). Hope someone in the group will come up with convincing id for this plant...
