- 2015 December 3, “Phylogenetic Reconstruction, Morphological Diversification and Generic Delimitation of Disepalum (Annonaceae)”, in PLOS ONE[1], :
- As with most Annonaceae, however, Disepalum flowers are apocarpous, and so it is hypothesized that pollen tubes are likely to be able to grow between contiguous carpels: this extragynoecial growth of pollen tubes has been reported in other apocarpous angiosperms [97 ,98 ,99 ].
