The following are among the options MapMate gives for the ‘Stage’ field, the three capsule categories probably being the most appropriate:<br />Capsules<br />Capsules, dehis<br />Capsules, unripe<br />Fruiting<br />Sporophyte<br />GametophyteBarry Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080358305675651314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572836115424987671.post-7763641789552713052015-02-07T20:01:50.192+00:002015-02-07T20:01:50.192+00:00Interesting.

I've never seen fruits on any of the species you mention, but I'll look harder in future...GMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759152282751126808noreply@blogger.com
