Staminate Flower: 20--150+; corolla +- funnel-shaped, +- white, lobes 4--5, erect or reflexed, filaments fused, anthers free or weakly fused; style tip undivided.
Flower: calyx limb exserted from bracts; corolla 6--9 mm, +- yellow, bell-shaped, weakly 2-lipped, divided 1/2; anthers exserted; ovaries (and fruit) tightly enclosed by inner, fused bracts, thereby appearing fully fused; style +- = corolla, glabrous.
Flower: calyx bell-shaped to cylindric, 2-lipped, upper lip +- 2-lobed, lower generally 3-lobed; petals 5, generally yellow or white, generally not hairy, keel oblong-sickle-shaped to +- 1/2 circular (curve abaxial), claw +- 1/4 keel; stamens 10, filaments fused; style generally abruptly curved at +- middle or gently curved +- throughout.
Though P. cordatulus has a similarly fused style of c. 1.3 mm long, it is spreading for about the same distance, whereas the style of P. rufuschaneyi is only fused for up to 1 mm and slightly erose at the end.
The gynoecium consisted of three carpels having a fused style with three bifid stigmas.
Phyllanthus rufuschaneyi is most similar to P. securinegioides, however, it differs in its significantly smaller leaves, its smaller fascicled inflorescences with pinkish flowers (Fig. 1a; vs larger fascicles with yellow flowers in P. securinegioides), the completely fused anther filaments (Fig. 3c) and the fused style (Fig. 3e).
George Lang, the New York restaurateur and a Hungarian like Mr. Feyer, said Mr. Feyer fused "styles, periods, stories and humor" to create an effect not unlike that of Victor Borge.
Flower: bisexual, radial; sepals 5, free; petals = sepals in number, free to adherent (basally fused); stamens 5[4 or 10], alternate petals, filaments fused basally into a cup-like structure surrounding ovary base; staminodes present, alt stamens at cup rim, or 0; ovary superior, carpels 2--5, fused, styles 2--5, = carpel number, free or partly fused.
Moreover, all the three species had fused styles and pantoporate pollen grains that were unusual for blue-flowered flaxes.
Monogyna consists of two sections; the first, Callianche, contains only Cuscuta reflexa Roxburgh, defined by its elongated stigmas atop the fused styles.
Fusing Styles What resulted when composers examined their national heritage and fused its style with the classical European musical tradition?
