Palisota pynaertii

30-50cm tall	an inflorescence  has many  flowers	buds are wrapped by hairy soft bracteoles
a bract at the base of the inflorescence	inflorescence has flowers of various stages	one flower
flower has 3 sepals, 3 petals, 3 stamens, white hairs (staminodes?), 1 pistil	a stamen that has reddish anther	2 stamens that have yellow  anthers
yellow anther stamens have short filaments	both sides of reddish anther stamen	pistil that has hairy ovary was brown

The case of this species ,  the pistil of the flower became brown.  Only buds have normal pistils. Pollens have not 

been matured yet at bud stage. This means that effective pollination is not occurred. Some buds have openings

 between the petals and the stigmas are seen from them, so it might be occurred to pollinate the stigma with other

flowers' pollens.  But it is expected that the fertility of this plant is very low. Actually this plant has no seeds this year. 

pistil and stamens of a bud	fresh pistil at bud stage	immature stamens at bud stage
young flower has not opened the petals  completely	reddish anther hasn't produced  pollen at this stage	yellow anther has already produced pollen.  the pistil is already brown
late stage flower's petals bend outward	reddish anther has produced pollens	pistil is brown
one inflorescence has flowers of each stage from young to late flower ( from left to right in the picture) The bud have openings and  the pistil is seen from that	another inflorescence that has no  openings between the petals	soft brown hairs are seen on the pedicels    The hairs look to be removed  at flower stage
