The correct idea: ovary seems 5-celled
with cell not dividing,
sometimes incompletely, so the
few (usually 2), not numerous
ovules, seem attached in center
of ovary and should have been considered them attached to file placenta,
but [see B.M. J.C.P.] perhaps they are
attached on inner edges of spiral
placentae. No traces of stamens
or staminodia. The 2 outer sepals
intricated is 1 folded over the other, 3,
the outside one folded on that. (The inside
ones so small in bud and difficult to
see if [illegible] intricated)
