We study in depth some aspects of the floral morphology of the pomegranate clones, PTO8, CRO1 and ME14, the first two from the province of Murcia and the third from the province of Alicante (both in SE Spain). The study was carried out in 1996 and 1997. Twenty-five flowers were taken from each clone and analysed in the second week of May in both years. We study the types of flower in pomegranate (hermaphrodite or male) and their percentage in each clone studied. The importance of this aspect is underlined by the fact that only hermaphrodite flowers produce fruit. The number of petals and sepals is also of importance in understanding the pomegranate flower, the number of each usually coincide between 5 and 9, with 6 or 7 being the most usual. The height and width of the petals can also differ between clones. Finally, we consider the number of stamens, the height of the pistil and the relation between the level of the anthers and stigma of the flower, and observe that heterostyly is a common occurrence.
