- Globular inflorescences/infructescences
attached to an axis triangular in cross-section. Inflorescence/
infructescence consisting of numerous,
radially arranged multicarpellate units (phalanges).
If sectioned in the polar region there are 5-8 units
(phalanges) per infructescence. Each unit consisting
of about ten basi-medially fused carpel/fruitlets. Apical
parts of each carpel/fruitlet straight and spiny
giving the whole head an echinate appearance.
