FIGURE 6 - A new classification for Lipocarpha and Volkiella as infrageneric taxa of Cyperus s.l. (Cypereae, Cyperoideae, Cyperaceae): Insights from species tree reconstruction supplemented with morphological and floral developmental data

A. New interpretation of the inflorescence of Lipocarpha rehmannii inflorescence. The inflorescence consists of a spikelet of spirally arranged glumes each subtending a flower. B. Old interpretation of the Lipocarpha rehmannii inflorescence (Goetghebeur & Van den Borre 1989). In that interpretation, the inflorescence consists of a spike of highly reduced spikelets with each spikelet subtended by a spikelet bract (blue). Near the base of the nutlet, remnants of a prophyll and glume can be found. Blue = spikelet bract; pink = prophyll; yellow = glume; red = nutlet.
