| 21. | The floral tube is formed by fusion of the basal segments of the tepals ( proximally connate ).
|
| 22. | There are six stamens with laterally connate filaments and oblong to ovate anthers, dorsifixed towards the base.
|
| 23. | Ovary 4 or 5 (-8 or more ) carpellate; styles free or rarely connate at base.
|
| 24. | In fruit, bracteoles become enlarged and hardened, sometimes with dentate margins, sometimes several flowers becoming connate.
|
| 25. | An understanding of the geochemistry of connate fluids is important if the diagenesis of the rock is to be quantified.
|
| 26. | The flowers may have 4-5 faintly connate but imbricate sepals with an equal number of distinct, imbricate petals.
|
| 27. | The staminate flowers are long and asymmetrical with three linear, triangular sepals, basally connate and adnate to the receptacle.
|
| 28. | The spike-shaped inflorescences consist of opposite bracts, mostly connate and stem-clasping, free in some species.
|
| 29. | For example, with connate brines the salinity is higher than that of sea water but lower than that of salt lakes.
|
| 30. | The spike-shaped inflorescences consist of alternate or opposite bracts, these are often connate and stem-clasping, sometimes free.
