1 ) In hibiscus there is no staminode ; perhaps you mean staminal tube . If it is so then the answer is -- The staminal tube in hibiscus encloses the style and the ovary .

2 )In sorghum ( Poaceae ) the stigma is feathery.

1. The staminode is an infertile stamen, usually just the filament part.
2. Picture of sorghum stigma here:

This site describes this type of stigma as "feathery".

Each anther is held aloft by a slender, pink filament, and each filament is attached to a pale, pink cylinder, known as a staminal column or "stamen tube."
The fertile flower of sorghum consists of a thin lemma and thin palea, and inside these the stamens and pistil - the latter developing into the kernel.
