Textbook QuestionThe flowering jungle plant Lacandonia schismatica, discovered in southern Mexico, has a unique floral structure.

Closely related species are dioecious; female plants bear flowers that resemble those of Lacandonia, but without the central stamens. What type of mutation could have resulted in the evolution of Lacandonia flowers?
