Roles of synorganisation, zygomorphy and heterotopy in floral evolution: the gynostemium and labellum of orchids and other lilioid monocots.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 Aug 2002

Rudall Paula J, Bateman Richard M

Abstract excerpt

A gynostemium, comprising stamen filaments adnate to a syncarpous style, occurs in only threc groups of monocots: the large family Orchidaceae (Asparagales) and two small genera Pauridia (Hypoxidaceae: Asparagales) and Corsia (Corsiaceae, probably in Liliales), all epigynous taxa. Pauridia has actinomorphic (polysymmetric) flowers, whereas those of Corsia and most orchids are strongly zygomorphic (monosymmetric)...
