| Habit--when not in flower, Tinantia can be mistaken for grass. | See the face? The two "eyes" and the "nose" are actually stamens! These three stamens have yellow hairs near the apex of the filaments. Three more stamens curve downward; the outer two of these stamens have purple colored hairs near the base of the filaments. |

 |
| Flower again--is this flower zygomorphic or actinomorphic? | Flower yet again, showing the
bract that sheathes each inflorescence. This is called a spathe. |
 |
 |
| Leaves--is this a monocot or a dicot? | Typical foliage in Winter. Almost all the green in this picture is Tinantia! |
