Satyrium coriifolium flower parts

The Satyrium coriifolium flower is non-resupinate, meaning the ovary remains untwisted, leaving the lip at the top of the open flower. The ovary at the flower base is from 10 mm to 14 mm long, longer than the spurs.

The pair of slender spurs at the back of the lip are from 9 mm to 12 mm long, curving down. The lip crest is bent backwards, often tinged red, sometimes pale and about 2 mm long. The sepals and petals are fused in their lower parts, the petals narrower than the sepals.

The stigma has a flap that is erect to hooded over the rostellum, a part of the column that separates the male and female floral parts, present together in the bisexual flower (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Liltved and Johnson, 2012; Manning, 2007; Moriarty, 1997; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
