Nhu makes reference to a "pseudostem" regarding the flowers of Pamianthe but the concept of a pseudostem is associated with foliage, not flowering structures. Examples are found in Pamianthe (leafy shoots) as well as Worsleya, Scadoxus, Musa, etc. The main flowering axis is a peducle to which the flowers are joined by a pedicel (or they are sessile).
