Well, since the staminode covers up the flowers' male bits, I'm sure that each species claims they have the biggest one!
But alpha taxonomy is not mathematics; it is not really necessary that everything "adds up". I love biology for that, but sometimes it's a nuisance.
Hakone, you're thinking like a very logical engineer, not a biologist.
The Code doesn't make it necessary that names make sense, just that they are validly published. So, 1+1 can equal 3 as long as you correctly claim such by valid publication. The harmony of the universe does not rely on these names as it does to math and physics holding true.
