The flower of this species has two outer (upper and lower) petals and two inner (lateral) petals. The stamens are grouped into two stamen bundles, one above the ovary and one below. The upper petal, lower petal, and upper stamen bundle have been removed for the purpose of this photo. The inner petals are normally apically connate but have been spread apart in this photo. The lower stamen bundle has been moved aside somewhat to reveal the style and stigma.
