与萼片互生的

Sepals 3(or 5); lateral sepals free or connate, margins entire or serrate; lower sepal large, petaloid, usually navicular, funnelform, saccate, or cornute, tapering or abruptly constricted into a nectariferous spur broadly or narrowly filiform, straight, curved, incurved, or ± coiled, swollen at tip, or pointed, rarely 2-lobed, rarely without spur. Petals 5, free, upper petal flat or cucullate, small or large, often crested abaxially, lateral petals free or united in pairs. Stamens 5, alternating with petals, connate or nearly so into a ring surrounding ovary and stigma, falling off in one piece before stigma ripens; filaments short, flat with a scalelike appendage inside; anthers 2-celled, connivent, opening by a slit or pore.

萼片3(或5)；侧萼片离生或者合生，边缘全缘或者有锯齿；更低的萼片大，瓣状，通常舟形，漏斗状，囊状，或具角状突起，渐减突然或缢缩进一分泌蜜汁具距或宽狭丝状，花瓣5，离生，上面的花瓣平坦的或者兜状，雄蕊5，与花瓣互生，合生或者近合生成环而围绕子房和柱头，在柱头成熟之前完整地从上面落下；花丝短，扁平，在里面的有一鳞片状附属物；花药2室，靠合，通过一条裂缝或者孔开裂。

Sepals imbricate or valvate, rarely spathaceous, mostly (2 or)3-6, rarely more, usually free or connate at base only, sometimes partly united into a tube, caducous or persistent, rarely accrescent. Petals 3-8, rarely more, often isomerous and alternating with sepals, free, imbricate or valvate, rarely contorted, similar to sepals or not, sometimes with a fleshy adaxial basal scale, or petals absent. Disk present, entire, lobed, or comprised of free or connate disk glands, these extrastaminal, interstaminal, or intrastaminal, or extragynoecial, or disk absent.

萼片覆瓦状或镊合状排列，很少佛焰苞，几乎(2或者)3-6，很少更多，通常离生或者只是基部合生，花瓣3-8，很少更多，通常与萼片同质并且互生，分离，覆瓦状或镊合状排列，很少旋转状，与萼片相似或不相似，有时在近轴基部有一个肉质的鳞片，或花瓣无。

Petals alternisepalous,(2-)4, absent in female flowers of some Myriophyllum , imbricate, longer than sepals, often deciduous with stamens.

花瓣与萼片互生，(2-)4，但是Myriophyllum的一些种类雌花无花瓣，花瓣覆瓦状排列，比萼片长，通常与雄蕊一起脱落。

Stamens 1 or 2 × as many as sepals; filaments short, slender; anthers basifixed, mostly oblong or linear, 4-loculed, dehiscing by slits, antisepalous anthers sometimes somewhat longer than antipetalous ones; pollen grains shedding at 3-celled stage. Ovary inferior, 1(or 2)- or 4-celled, septa solid or practically absent (present only at base and apex of ovary); styles as many as sepals, alternisepalous, free, mostly short, grading into globose or subulate stigmas, spreading in fruit; stigmatic papillae hairlike; ovules as many as styles, rarely 1, apical, pendulous, anatropous.

雄蕊1或2 *同数萼片；花丝短，纤细；花药基着，通常长圆形或者线形，4室，纵向开裂，对萼花药稍比对瓣花药长；花粉粒在3室的阶段散落子房下位，1(或者2)或4室，隔膜实心或几乎无(只在基部和子房先端存在)；花柱和萼片同数，与萼片互生，离生，柱头乳突毛发状；胚珠与花柱同数，很少1，顶生，倒生。

Flowers yellowish to greenish, rarely brightly colored, small, bisexual or unisexual, rarely polygamous,(4 or)5-merous, hypogynous to epigynous, in mostly axillary, sessile or pedunculate cymes, or reduced to few in fascicles. Calyx tube patelliform or hemispherical to tubular, sometimes absent, at rim with calyx, corolla, and stamens; sepals 4 or 5, valvate in bud, triangular, erect or ± recurved during anthesis, adaxially often distinctly keeled, alternate with petals.

对带绿色淡黄的花，很少明亮染色，单性，很少杂性的小，两性或，(4或)5瓣，萼筒小盘状或者半球形到管状，有时无，在凸缘有花萼，花冠和雄蕊；萼片4或5，芽期镊合状，三角形，直立或者在花期弯曲，正面通常显著凸起，与花瓣互生。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
