 54-Hypogynous insertion

[FMP-field: image]
This photo of Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum commutatum) shows another example of a superior ovary and hypogynous insertion. Note here that the perianth consists of tepals (since you cannot distinguish between sepals and petals), to which the stamens are adnate.
