Phenotype

intermediate allele; homeotic conversion of sepals, organ types found vary from leaf-like, to leaf-carpel, to sepal- carpel intermediate organs or small filaments; some secondary or tertiary flowers are formed in the axils of the transformed sepals; second whorl typically forms stamens, although filaments, petal-stamens or petal-sepals may also develop; third whorl is often missing the lateral stamens, and the number of axial stamens is reduced; fourth whorl may develop a multicarpellate pistil; phenotype varies acropetally, with more complete flower-to-inflorescence conversions in basal flowers and at low temperature.
