Passing backward from the base of this receptacle are structures known as ligament sacs.
Typically, the ovary is surrounded by material derived from stem or receptacle tissue, forming a structure called a pericarpel.
A. coccinea can be distinguished from the more common species A. rubra by differences in the color of the receptacle, and in the structure of the arms.
The solitary flower heads are borne at the ends of branches, growing at the junction of a bract (leaflike structure) and the receptacle.
The plant's many nutlike fruits are produced in the flat upper surface of a spongy receptacle or expanded, fleshy, capsulelike structure, which is wider at the upper end than at the base.
In particular, fast-evolving structures like the ventral receptacle and dorsal sclerite are likely involved in post-copulatory sexual selection.
In addition, we split the morphological characters relating to the female reproductive tract according to different reproductive structures (e.g.: ventral receptacle, dorsal sclerite, spermathecae, etc).
We provide the first comparative study of the internal female reproductive tract across Sepsidae (41 species representing 21 of the 37 described genera), using microscopic techniques that have been optimized to reveal even delicate structures such as the ventral receptacle.
"The trash receptacle is designed and made from materials that complement not only the structure it stands in front of, but the ambiance that the city of Millville is trying to portray".
The receptacle, or fruit body, begins as a partially buried whitish egg-shaped structure, which bursts open as a hollow white stipe with reddish arms, then erupts and grows to a height of up to 15 mm.
