(A) Early stage of development of the inflorescence showing the appendix (smooth upper portion) and the floral zone (lower portion with floral primordia). The arrow indicates the separation between the appendix proper and the basal stipe portion of the inflorescence. (B) floral portion of the inflorescence: B, bristle; M, male flower; F, female flower; arrows, atypical flowers; asterisk, nearly enclosed ovary. (C) Early stage of initiation of female flowers. (D) Development of the ovary wall (O) of female flowers (E) Close up of two atypical flowers (arrows).
