""'Carex alma " "'is a species of staminate flowers have visible anthers 2 millimeters long or longer.
32.
A flower having only functional stamens and lacking functional carpels is called a "'staminate flower "', or ( inaccurately ) male.
33.
The inflorescence is usually an unbranched, interfoliar spike with unisexual flowers of both sexes; both pistillate and staminate flowers have three sepals and three petals.
34.
The flowers are arranged in clusters of up to 11, with one or three pistillate and two to four staminate flowers at the center of the cluster.
35.
The staminate flowers are solitary borne, on second and third order branches, subtended by a tiny, tubular, triangular bract and a two keeled bracteole.
36.
The staminate flowers develop from leaf axils of the previous year and the catkins emerge before or at the same time as the current leaves in April or May.
37.
The larger pistillate flowers are borne in dyads, similarly subtended by a triangular bract, and accompanied by a sterile staminate flower and two, two keeled bracteoles.
38.
Staminate flowers are 6 mm long, with sepals forming a 3-lobed, flat, membranous corolla similar to the calyx; ovary 2.5 mm long.
39.
The staminate flowers are asymmetrical, white to cream to red, the three sepals are short and imbricate, while the three valvate petals are three or four times as long.
40.
The first is that the staminate flowers are basically as described by Goldberg and Nelson, except there are two stamens with fused or closely pressed filaments and anthers rather than one.
