Table 1 Mean flower size, measured as diameter45,46, and magnification settings used to obtain SEM images of petal micro-surface and feature details (in brackets) from the six species discussed in the present study.
From: Iridescence and hydrophobicity have no clear delineation that explains flower petal micro-surface
