  Need Anthurium anatomy lesson
From: Don Martinson llmen at execpc.com> on 2001.07.22 at 22:34:00(7083)
Here is a link to a photo of the spadix of my flowering Anthurium clarinervium:

I realize that this species is supposed to apomictic, but could
someone give me a brief anatomy lesson here? I can visualize white
bumps (A), yellowish bumps (B), and brownish bumps (C). I imagine
that some of these are male flowers, but are these all male, in
varying degrees of maturation? Are the male and female flowers
distributed evenly along the spadix?

Thanks,
