They were dioceious

undifferentiated perianth

incompletely fused carpels with a stigmatic crest

monoaerturate pollen

small, spirally arranged actinomorphic, hypogenous flowers

neither connate nor adnate

indefinite # of leaf-like stamens

aquatic, herbaceous perennials

stems as rhizomes

perfect actinomorphic flowers

indefinite # of spirally arranged parts

perianth not differentiated into sepals and petals

pollen monoapaturate or lacks apatures

parts never adnate, but sometimes connate no woody growth

Q

Order Magnoliales

Family Annonaceae

A

Asimina triloba

the pawpaw tree which produces “Indiana bananas”

19
Q

Family Myristicaceae

A

Myristica fragans

nutmeg and mace

20
Q

Family Degeneriaceae

A

1 species, Degeneria vitiensis

21
Q

Family Magnoliaceae

A

220 species of trees/shrubs mainly native to asia but grown as ornimentals:

Magnolias and tulip trees have

pleisomorphic floral features

suggest that early angiosperms had the same features

22
Q

Magnolia flowers

A

perfect, actinomorphic flowers

undifferentiated perianth

6-many separate tepals

indefinite # stamens and pistils

each carpel of a flower becomes a separate fruit–a follicle (many pistils per flower,)

there are many follicles per flower, and each flower produces an aggregate of many fruits

23
Q

Follicle

A

dry, dehiscent fruit

formed from a 1-carpellate ovary

opening along only 1 side

follicle opens, the seeds remain dangling their funiculi

24
Q

Family Magnoliaceae

Genus Liriodendron

A

Tulip tree is the state tree of indiana

25
Q

Tulip tree flowers

A

perfect and actinomorphic

perianth differentiated into 3 sepals and 6 petals pistils

aggregate fruits (samaras)

26
Q

Samara

A

dry, indehiscent fruit in which the ovary wall develops a wing aiding in wind dispersal

27
Q

Flowers of magnoliid families

A

magnolia and tulip tree:

1) have their parts, particularly stamens and carpels attached to receptacle in spiral arrangement
2) perfect, actinomophic and hypogenous
3) free distinct parts, no adnation or connation
4) numerous # of stamens and pistils produce aggregate fruits

magnolia has tepals

tulip has 3 sepals, 6 petals

28
Q

Why does Nymphaeales tell us little about evolutionary origin of angiosperms?

A

there is no evidence the common ancestor of angiosperms were aquatic

so the features of the Nymphaeales tells us more about their adaptation to an aquatic environment

lack of woody growth doesn’t tell us whether common ancestor had vessel elements or tracheids

29
Q
A

Amborella trichopoda (amborella) the only extant species in the order Amborellales. The only extant sister to all other angiosperms
