(i) Flamboyant flower
(ii) Filament
(iii) Style
(iv) Sepal

Filament: it attaches the base of the flower and support the anther
Style: it assist with fertilization by being the location where pollen tubes travel to deliver sperm cells to the egg
Petals: it attracts pollination such as butterflies, bees and bats
