Cyanella alba subsp. flavescens flower

The flower of Cyanella alba subsp. flavescens has clawed inner tepals, yellower-tipped and wider than the outer ones. The whitish outer tepals are broad-based, vein-lined like the inner ones.

The characteristic lady’s hand of five cohering stamens bearing maroon rings must have very short filaments. The deviant sixth stamen, skew and wrinkled, is to the right below the others, resembling an uncontrolled tongue. It has no ring and protrudes further, due to its notably longer, white filament, just visible in picture.

Also skew but to the other side is the style, below the “hand”, protruding to the left. It is straight, ending in a small stigma (Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; iNaturalist).
