The profusion of terms for floral parts in Asclepias is summarized in tabular form to clarify previous literature. In cases of synonymy, a preferred term is selected. These terms are then used in an illustrated description of the floral morphology and pollination mechanism of a representative species, Asclepias speciosa.
