Description
Hemitomes congestum
A flower of Hemitomes congestum with two of the petals removed so that the parts of the flower are visible. From top to bottom: the shiny yellow stigma, surrounded by the anthers, now open and shedding pollen; the hairy filaments on which the anthers are borne, and, at the bottom, the knob like nectaries, structures on the ovary that secrete nectar.
