Description
Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Cephalotus
This old illustration from Curtis's Botanical Magazine shows that the flowers of Cephalotus have six sepals, six petals (rather hooded), six stamens. The six carpels are at the bottom of a bowl-like disk. These features are somewhat like those of saxifrages, and that was long thought to be the family closest to Cephalotaceae.
