Anomalous flowers of S, polyrhiza. (A) An abnormal flower of strain 7498 that appears to have emerged from an abnormal, kidney shaped frond. (B) This inflorescence on strain 9509 appeared to be overgrown by the underside of the frond. The purple pigmentation is similar to that of the ventral surface of this strain. The vertical structure appears rhizoid-like. (C) An aborted inflorescence of strain 9509, consisting of the developing pistil and anthers enveloped in a spathe, found floating in the medium.
