Crinum paludosum stamens and styles

The six Crinum paludosum stamens of each flower arise from near the mouth of the perianth tube and reach the level of the curves in the tepal tips, or thereabouts. They are angled down but often curve up near their tips.

The filaments are white, sometimes tinged pink near the anthers. The black or nearly black anthers are curved, about 6 mm long. Their pollen is creamy yellow.

The inferior ovary where the seeds grow is top-shaped. The style protruding from it is angled down in the perianth, the trumpet-shaped corolla, but curves up in its upper part. The style is longer than the stamens, therefore slightly exserted, i.e. protruding. The style is white low down, shading in pink to the three-lobed stigma that is crimson at the style tip.

The fruit capsule that follows is globose, not beaked as in some other Crinum species, but sometimes collared or crowned at its tip (Duncan, et al, 2016; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist).
