Flowers form from November to February. They are pink, almost without stalks and 3 to 4 cm in diameter. Male and female flowers are separate and without petals. The fruit is a hairy boat-shaped follicle maturing from December to July. It is 7 to 20 cm long, containing up to 30 seeds, each 9 mm long.
The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems and are simple or pinnate. The flowers have three to seven sepals but that fall of as the flowers mature, but no petals. There are six to sixteen stamens (except in female flowers), the filaments shorter than the anthers, the style is threadlike and the ovary in female flowers has two to six ...
The species is variable as regards pubescence, ranging from entirely glabrous to pubescent on stems and leaves. The fragrant, pincushion-like flowers are without petals and are produced in abundance at the beginning of the rainy season. Filaments are numerous (c.50) and long, initially pale yellow then turning darker with age.
The flowers are essentially without petals, and have four large, white sepals that enlarge when in fruit (which is single-seeded). [5] References
Petals can differ dramatically in different species. The number of petals in a flower may hold clues to a plant's classification. For example, flowers on eudicots (the largest group of dicots) most frequently have four or five petals while flowers on monocots have three or six petals, although there are many exceptions to this rule.

The tiny green to yellow flowers without petals grow in clusters in the denticulate leaflike stipules. Species include: Aphanes andicola Rothm. Aphanes arvensis L. – field parsley-piert, western lady's-mantle, parsley breakstone; Aphanes australiana – Australian piert; Aphanes cotopaxiensis Romoleroux & Frost-Olsen; Aphanes cuneifolia (Nutt ...
The plants of this genus are clump-forming evergreen perennials with mainly heart-shaped or arrowheaded shaped leaves. The flowers are tiny and without petals, enclosed in a usually greenish spathe hidden by the leaves. [4] Some authors have proposed splitting the genus and moving all the neotropical species of Homalomena to Adelonema. [5] [6 ...
The inflorescences consist of panicles of flowers without petals. The warty, oval, bright red fruits have flattened sides and are 2–3.75 cm long by 1.25–1.75 cm wide by 1–1.25 cm thick, each containing a seed covered with an edible, white sarcotesta .
