  abstract = {{T}he {S}outh-{A}merican species {A}nnona haematantha {M}iq. exhibits a very puzzling corolla, which was previously interpreted as two stacked corolla tubes. {A}n anatomical study was undertaken in order to solve this question. {T}he outer and inner petals are fused at their base in a wide tube not appressed to the reproductive organs. {T}he inner petals are adaxially modified into prominent glands on the proximal 3/4 of their length. {T}he receptacular vasculature, as well as androecial and gynoecial structures are otherwise wholly in accordance with the floral anatomy of other known {A}nnona {L}. species. {S}uch a localized adaptation suggests a peculiar pollination process and widens the range of nutritious tissue patterns recorded in {A}nnonaceae flowers. {T}he pollination system probably involves night-flowering, thermo-genesis, scent emission, and intervention of scarab beetles.},
