RE: [Aroid-l] The flowers of ZZ

From: "Derek Burch" derek at horticulturist.com> on 2005.02.11 at 21:44:55(12668) Marek, What great pictures – as always at your site. We have an article on the taxonomy of Zamioculcas coming in the Aroideana that will be out in late summer, possibly with a small additional piece on their huge jump into favour as a house plant, if I can stir my lazy bones. I might ask you for a couple of pictures if that comes to pass – any chance? Perigone is a word for a perianth in which the parts are undifferentiated (so all perigones are perianths, but not all perianths are perigones!). Those little nubbins which all look alike make it a perigone if you want to use the word that is very often chosen when describing the perianth of individual flowers in the Araceae.

Do the flowers have a perigon or perianth? What's the difference between perigon and perianth?
