Photo of a whorl of dark green simple leaves and several erect spikes of white, short-filament, long-anther stamens.

In the #Chloranthaceae, the perianth (sepals+petals) is absent. In staminate flowers, like this Chloranthus japonicus, the entire floral display is staminal. #stamenflowers #stamen #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
