[B100]
Lag. parviflora [Botanic Gardens]
Long-styled — 8 long stamens with thick filaments crowd of short stamens—
(2 plants same state)
[Forms of flowers, pp. 167-8: "Another plant growing in the Botanic Gardens at Calcutta, as Mr. J. Scott informs me, was long-styled, and it was equally sterile with its own pollen; whilst a long-styled plant of L. reginœ, though growing by itself, produced fruit. I examined dried flowers from two plants of L. parviflora, both of which were long-styled, and they differed from L. Indica in having eight long stamens with thick filaments, and a crowd of shorter stamens."]
