The floral organogenesis of Phytolacca dodecandra L′Her. (Phytolaccaceae) has been observed under both scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscope. The primordia of the floral appendage are arranged according to a pentamerous pattern and acropetal succession. Five sepal primordia arise in a 2/5 sequence, and no petal primordia have been observed. The stamen primordia arise centrifugally. The first two pairs arise successively opposite sepal one and two. In the subsequent initiation… Expand
