Floral morphogenesis of Euptelea pleiosperma: (A) young inflorescence bud (scales and floral-subtending bracts removed); (B) floral primordium in the axil of a bract; (C–F) floral primordia with irregular shapes due to pressure by neighbouring bracts; (G–K) initiation of stamens (G, adaxial side of floral becoming higher, indicated by an arrow; H, first stamen primordia appear on adaxial side; I, stamen primordia more distinct; J, some stamen primordia appear on abaxial side; K, number of stamen primordia increased on both sides of flower – no other floral organ found outside the stamens); (L) stamens enlarge. B, Floral-subtending bract; F, flower; L, leaf; S, stamen; Sc, scale. Scale bars: A = 250 µm; B, C, H–J = 100 µm; D, G = 86 µm; E = 75 µm; F = 50 µm; K = 120 µm; L = 500 µm.
