• Additional comments: Partial fusion is recorded using an approximate number between these two extremes (e.g., 0.1 corresponds to basal fusion, 0.5 to fusion along half of the total length of the styles). This character is not applicable in unicarpellate flowers. Definition derived from Schoenenberger et al. (2020) for their character '406. Fusion of styles (C1)'
