1 Receptacle shorter than broad, expanded to ring beneath calyx; anthers ovoid to globose, much shorter than filaments. > 2
2 Stamens ca. 12, sometimes fewer in depauperate specimens, in 2 series, outer filaments shorter than inner. Meconella californica
2 Stamens 4–6, in 1 series, filaments all ± equal. Meconella oregana
