Confused about number of valves...

When I checked the valve stem clearance, I remember checking two rocker/stem distances up front (exhaust) and two at the rear (inlet) of the cylinder.
So, I was telling some interested people "it has four valves".
Now in the newly introduced "specs" page I read that it only has two valves (and, more or less superfluously, "valves per cylinder: 2").
Does each valve have two stems ? Does only one of the stems have a valve at its bottom end ? :??:
