Translators with hardened, cliplike corpusculum in which some part of pollinator's body becomes caught for removal; pollen gathered into 4 minute pollinia attached directly or indirectly to the corpusculum Secamonoideae 1.
Under the magnification of a dissecting microscope, pollinia were removed from a donor flower by grasping the corpusculum with small forceps.
Within the Asclepiadaceae sensu Cronquist (1981), the nature of corpusculum attachment to the style-stigma head in Secarnone (Kunze, 1991) is also anomalous.
