Anthers, the flower's male part, are

connected to the top of the stamen and


support pollen sacs. The gumamela has
dozens of stamens where as most
flowers have only five.
Stamen Tube
The anthers are attached to filaments
that join together and form the stamen

tube, also known as the stamina column.


This is unique to the gumamela.
Style
The style, or flower's ovary, is housed in
the stamen column. The style branches out
into five arms outside the stamina column.
Each arm supports one of the gumamela's
stigma.
Stigma

Male pollen grains are deposited onto the


stigma. The stigma contains the flower's
ovules that will start to turn into seeds after
they are pollinated.

Petals
The gumamela's petals, also known as the
corolla, have shallow lobes. The flower has
only five petals. Gumamela breeders
develop flowers with many "petals"---

stamens that are bred to look like petals--to make a larger, fuller-looking flower.
Sepals
The sepals are modified leaves
surrounding the gumamela's petals,
serving to protect the flower, especially
when it's still a bud.
