The stigmas and androecia are fused to form a gynostegium. The gynostegium is short, with reddish-green anthers. The gynostegium is at right angles, with an elongated apex. The gynostegium is short, obtuse, with pale yellow pollen. It exceeds the gynostegium and has 5 erect lobes which are narrowly triangular-acute. In "Calotropis", gynostegium is present (formed by the fusion of stigma and androecium).
