The flower tube is 13 mm long, calyx tube, a staminal column protrudes bearing at its summit 30 anthers.
12.
Instead, " Salvia " is defined by its convergent character of distinct staminal evolution that proves its polyphyly.
13.
Spikelets are associated in threes, of which the fertile one is unisexual with the other two staminal or not completely developed.
14.
It has broadly lanceolate leaves up to 60 cm long, tapering at the tip and narrowing below to a long staminal cup short.
15.
They may also surround the stamens ( extrastaminal ), be at their bases ( staminal ) or be inside the stamina ( intrastaminal ).
16.
Flowers are erect, funnel-shaped, white with a greenish eye in the center and teeth along the margins of the staminal corona.
17.
Recently it has been shown that upregulation of IFRD1 in vivo in injured muscle potentiates muscle regeneration by increasing the production of staminal muscle cells ( satellite cells ).
18.
The fused staminal structure has 3 spirally coiled anthers enveloped and concealed by petaloid extensions of the filaments of the two lateral stamens contributing to the 3-staminate structure.
19.
The first significant accounting of the genus was done by George Bentham in 1832-1836, based on a similarity in staminal morphology between " Salvia " members.
20.
The shape of the staminal corona is distinctive within the genus, rotate rather than the more common funnel-shaped, white with a yellow-green eye near the center.
