Fig 3

(A-D) Squamellaria grayi. (A) Mature adult with flowers closed during the day. (B) Seedling. (C) Fruits. (D) CT scanning image of the functionally unisexual flowers of S. grayi lacking the squamellae at the inner base of the flower tube (see also Fig 4B, 4E and 4F). (E-H) Squamellaria huxleyana. (E) Habit of a mature adult. (F) Shoot with calyx nectaries visited by Philidris nagasau workers. Inset shows details of nectary and fruits (see also Fig 6E). (G) Habit of two young individuals growing adjacently. (H) Flowering shoot including one flower whose corolla has split and which is therefore secondarily zygomorphic. (I) CT-scanning optical cross-section of S. grayi bud, with reduplicate petal margins (see also Fig 4C). (J) CT-scanning optical cross-section of S. grayi fruit, with three carpels. (K) CT-scanning cross-section of S. huxleyana bud, showing the four carpels. (L) CT-scanning longitudinal 3D reconstruction of an S. huxleyana fruit showing the curved pyrenes. (M) CT-scanning longitudinal section of S. grayi fruit showing the straight pyrenes. (N-P) S. jebbiana. (N) Habit of a mature adult (fall on the ground). (M) Domatium cross-section. (O) Juvenile individual. Photographic credit: G. Chomicki except D, I-M: Y. Staedler.
