Ziyan Fu,Dunyan Tan. Characteristics of the production of underground fruits and seed dispersal of Crocus alatavicus, a geophytic-geocarpic species[J]. Biodiv Sci, 2013, 21(5): 582-589.
Fig. 1 Position of the underground ovary/fruit of flowering plants of Crocus alatavicus at different developmental stages in the forest steppe of the vicinity of Sailimu Lake, Xinjiang, and the morphology of the mature fruit and seed. (A) Full-blooming stage; (B) Wilting stage; (C) Withering stage; (D) Fruit beginning to protrude above the soil level; (E) Fruit above soil surface; (F) Dehisced fruit; (G) Mature seed. The arrow points to the position of ovary/fruit.
