Corchorus olitorius flowering

[Neil Soares]

Hi,  Photographed at my farm over the weekend. Am posting these photographs to showcase the lower serratures on both sides of the leaf which are elongated into filamentous appendages [Photographs 4 & 5].                          With regards,                            Neil Soares.

Dear Neil: Very nice, I looked at the last pic first was delighted to
see the filaments...
and then I found that you had already talked of it in your write up..
ha ha

I could not find any essay or even a snippet about the filaments, and
what other plants may have such basal filaments...
I know, Gloriosa lily has apex of the leaf becoming a filament and may
even act as an anchoring tendril..

but could not find another example of basal filaments ...
my question: do you know of any ?

or any other members, please.
thanks Neil
and thanks to all who can tell me baout these stipules/filaments...
