  1. Apodasmia similis

  2. Can someone confirm for me if these are both the male and female inflorescences of oioi. Based on my really limited understanding of the features described, I think the left is female due to the unstalked spikelets.

  3. These are smaller samples.

  4. Also interested to know what the seed looks like if anyone has examples.

  5. Hi Katy, I think you are about right with your guessing of which plant is which from the inflorescence's you have shown. To get a look at the seed take a male (or which you think is) head pluck it from the stem and roll it in your fingers, this will release the seeds if they are present. "Seed c.1 x 0.4 mm, oblong-elliptical, golden-brown, surface reticulate, both ends apiculate, one end dark brown, the other, almost white." description from our species page. Good Luck!!

  6. Hi Katy, you are right with the male and female identifications.
