Androecium ontogeny in Normania triphylla (Lowe) Lowe (Solaneae Solanaceae)

[摘要] The androecium ontogeny inNormania triphylla(Lowe) Lowe is described. The most peculiar features (e.g. early definition of zygomorphy, sinuous anthers, dorsal connectival appendages in the anthers, and lateral dehiscence line with an apical curve) are analyzed and discussed, as well as the differences between the androecium ofNormaniaLowe andSolanum L . The remarkable singularity of the androecium inNormaniais emphasized.
