Notes

The measurements of the filiform bracts given in brackets were taken from 2 bracts which as an exception are neither ribbed, nor round, but flattened, and are facing each other and alternating with the involucral bracts. In my opinion they are actually involucral bracts, but for convenience sake I have called them filiform bracts.
