In attempting to find new relationships of structure in this genus I have attempted to group the translators and the caudicles (two separate structures, one above the other normally) into groups of similar structure. The data was taken from my years of study and accumulation of data on the Pollinaria of this genus.

Their edges are bent sideways., and on the radial sides they bend down at a right angle to the outside, so that they then spread out horizontally from each other. The pattern of each scale is then exactly that of a segment of 72°. Since the edges of the neighboring scales touch each other, there develops a flat plate-like corona ring around the gynostegium (pg 17)
