The floral anatomy of Schumannianthus virgatus Rolfe is described in detail. Anatomical observations indicate fusion of vascular bundles of various floral whorls commensurate with their adnation, and, in that sense, the inferior ovary is considered to be appendicular in nature. Anatomical evidence demonstrates reduction in part of the labellum and of the functional stamen. The anther is one-celled. The labellum is shown to be a unitary organ representing an anterolateral member of the inner androecial whorl.
