"The most striking characteristic of Dorstenia is their reproductive structure, called pseudanthium (Greek for "false flower") or in Moraceae hypanthium, which is composed of clusters of tiny unisexual flowers on a disc- or cup-shaped receptacle that are often adorned with bracts of various sizes and shapes." \\

Main componets of the flower scent are the (E/Z)-7-methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro-[4.5]decanes (30%). Olfactorily the scent is dominated by (-)-geosmin (0.2%) accompanied by dehydrogeosmin (0.01%). Together with fruit esters like methyl butyrate (20%), 2-methylbutyl butyrate (5.9%), 2-butyl butyrate (4.8%), and hexyl butyrate (1.2%), an extremely unusual musty-fruity scent is created. \\
