Points to check To determine if the plant is stauropetala or pentandra
The pentandra seed capsules are scattered on all sides of the stem and the stem of the flower and seed cup is 2-4 millimeters or more long and so is about as long as or longer than the seed cup is wide. 

The stauropetala  flowers and seed cups are arranged on just one side of the stem .  The pedicel is half as long as the seed cup is wide.   see "http://www.swcoloradowildflowers.com
