Szender, A. J. | Weryszko, E.
The aim of the present study was to determine the structure of the flowers and inflorescences of Anthurium andreanum hort. because of some controversial statements which have been made on this subject. It was stated that the spadix is an inflorescence made of fleshy and hermaphroditic flowers which are situated on the rachis forming a spiral. The flowers are two-sided symmetrical. Close morphological analysis confirmed by the enclosed photos showed fourfold structure of the protogynic flower: the perianth consisting of four fleshy sepals situated conjugately, four stamens and one upper and fleshy pistil.
