- Observation The perianth of Lophiocarpus polystachyus flowers has five tepals.
- Observation The androecium of Lophiocarpus polystachyus is 4-merous or, more rarely, 3-merous through fusion of two adaxial stamens.
- Observation The gynoecium of Lophiocarpus polystachyus is unilocular with two fused carpels.

- Observation Microsporocyte meiosis in Lophiocarpus polystachyus shows 9 bivalents.
- Observation Meiosis in Lophiocarpus polystachyus yields tetrahedral and decussate pollen tetrads.
- Observation Tricolpate pollen of Lophiocarpus polystachyus is 3-celled when shed.
- Observation The ovule of Lophiocarpus polystachyus is campylotropous, bitegmic and crassinucellate.
- Observation Embryo sac development in Lophiocarpus polystachyus is of the monosporic, Polygonum type.
