Nectary ultrastructure of Cabomba caroliniana Gray (Cabombaceae)
Cabomba Aubl. is a genus considered as a potential genetic model for studies of early angiosperm evolution, accordingly, it is important to expand the knowledge of it. This paper reports the study of the anatomy and the ultrastructure of the nectary of Cabomba caroliniana Gray using bright-field mic...

C. caroliniana has protoginous flowers and the anthesis lasts two days. Nectaries of C. caroliniana are located in two basal lobes or yellow auricles of each white petal.
