Photo of a single, large flower with 5 spreading, clawed petals. Between the gaps between the petal bases, we can see the green calyx, which is where the nectar is produced. The androecium forms a tube around the style. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.
Another morphological feature that unites the #Malvaceae is the presence of nectar-secreting hairs on the adaxial (interior) surface of the calyx. In this Hibiscus coccineus, visitors can access the nectar through the gaps between the petal bases. #TropicalBotany #nectary #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪🌱
