eramosa, (era)
- Habit: Tall with few lateral branches at lower nodes.
Flowering spikes develop at node 10-11. Untidy growth.
Large plants, no axillary shoots, leaves large and thick,
cuttings develop new shoots from tissue beneath the
leaves.
- Leaves: Broad on early nodes (vegetative). Few or no leaves
once inflorescence develops.
- Flowers: Bracts very small lying close to stem where flowers
have aborted. Flowers greatly distorted consisting of 5 sepals,
very narrow split petals often rolled and hairy, with anthers
attached. In some cases the lower centre lobe seems to be adjacent
to the stem. There are between 3 and 5 anthers in total and a central
carpel which turns towards the stem as it ages.
Brackts standing upright, usually no axillary buds, eventually
flowers develop with variable distortions, frequently actinomorph. Wild type is on the left of the photograph and the mutant on the
right in pictures from rca.
