Term:
Androecial hood appendages swept inward
Androecial hood appendages swept inward
Definition:
A androecial hood type in which appendages arise from an expanded apical or subapical part of the ligule from where they curve into the flower but do not form a coil (e.g., as in species of). The appendices are always more or less fused together at their bases. If the expanded part of the hood is subapical and the ligule extends beyond the thickening, the extension is called the anterior ligular extension. Do not confuse this term with curved appendages (see definition)

Notes:
This term is restricted to Lecythidaceae and this type of androecium is known as the Bertholletia excelsa type. In Mori et al. (2007) and Huang (2010), this type of ligule is restricted to the Bertholletia excelsa and Lecythis chartacea clades, which are sister to one another.
