Any similar body” (Lindley);

- stylus apice late peltato-dilatatus in umbraculum petaloideum, radiato- 5-nerve, 5-angulatum seu 5-lobum, subtus versus extremitatem nervorum minute 5-stigmatiferum (B&H), style at the apex broadle peltate-dilated into a petaloid umbracula [umbrella-shaped structure], radially 5-nerved, 5-angled or 5-lobed, underneath toward the extremity of the nerve minutely 5-stigmatiferous.
