Usually internal parts of flower are found already damaged by insects. In this case, margin of calyx pseudo-tube is also damaged,
which allows for a better a view of what's left inside the flower. Stamens 12, adnate to pistil (surrounding it). Their anthers
must have had well-developed terminal appendages, one of which appears intact on the right side of
the pistil.
