Glandular Tricomes

Stereoscope photo of the ovary of Aciotis indecora showing glandular trichomes on its apex. Also notice the translucent membranous hypanthium and ovary wall making the seeds inside somewhat visible (appearing as fuzzy, whitish round shapes in this photo), a characteristic of fleshy fruits. Ovary is approximately 2 mm.
