- Description
- Helosis
- The orange-colored polygonal scales of the inflorescence of this Helosis (found near Iquitos, Peru) are beginning to fall off. Revealed underneath are tiny white dots--female flowers. They are among the smallest flowers, if not the smallest flowers, of any flowering plant in the world.
