Voorbeelden van capitula

• The morphology of the capitula suggests they are not well adapted for pollination by other nocturnal vectors such as bats or moths.

• The capitula were harvested at weekly intervals during the seed formation stage.

• The bees were in constant motion while on the capitula and did not stop to probe the flowers.

• In the chiropterophilous species the capitula are much larger and typically borne on long, pendent peduncles arranged in little-branched inflorescences.

• The tree had up to about 50 capitula at anthesis on the nights when observations were made and it was reaching the end of its flowering period.

• Musaeus' responsoria may have been refrains designed to answer the verses chosen as 'psalmorum capitula'.

• The capitula open acropetally along each inflorescence axis so that usually there is no more than a single capitulum at anthesis per inflorescence at any time.

• For assisted pollination, male inflorescences were collected and pollen was applied to the stigmas of female flowers by rubbing the male capitula directly against the female flowers.
