(B) Desmos chinensis, with partially closed chamber formed by petals that are basally constricted. (C) Friesodielsia desmoides, with outer petals free spreading, inner petals apically connivent forming a closed pollination chamber. (D) Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum, with three outer petals apically connivent forming a closed pollination chamber. (E) Floral diagram of Friesodielsia. (F) Floral diagram of Dasymaschalon. Colors are used to differentiate floral organs; blue, sepal; green, outer petal; purple, inner petal; gray, stamen; pink, carpel. The ranks and total numbers of stamens and carpels are artificial in (E,F), with six/three lines of stamens and carpels shown at the corners of the hexagonal/triangular floral meristem.
