Plasticity
having two (2) leaves
Bifoliate
common in Aroids (family of Arums or Araceae)
Hastate
known as windmill bush and banana bush, is a species of plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceae.
Tabernaemontana pandacaqui
where did plants first thrive?
aquatic
how do plants disperse?
pollen
agent of pollination of ancestor plants
water (buoyant)
this becomes the fruit
ovary
this becomes the seeds
ovule
the male part
stamen (anther and filament)
the female part
pistil (stigma, style, ovary)
they are mostly white in color, have an odor, and their pollinators are bats and moths
night flowers
can be either staminate or pistillate
unisexual - monoecious
complete four whorls
perfect flower
this is the outermost part of flower
calyx or sepal
it is a specialized short shoot
flower
the petals and other parts of flowers are ____ adapted to carry on _______ and ___________
modified leaves; sexual reproduction and production of seeds
as a unit, flower performs what two functions?
precise pollen transfer and production of fruit and seeds
pollen transfer is achieved by transfer agents like?
insects, birds or other flying animals, wind, or water
flower is basically a ____ with _______, so almost everything discussed about the internal features of vegetative shoots also applies to flowers.
stem; leaflike structures
this growth does not occur in flowers
secondary growth
t or f: flower never becomes woody
true
basic ____ and _____ of flowers and fruits are not affected quite so much by environmental factors
morphology and anatomy
what are the essential parts of flower?
pistil and stamen
the female structure, composed of ovary, stigma, style
pistil, carpel, gynoecium
the male structure consisting of anther and filament
stamen, androecium
what are the accessory parts of flower?
perianth (corolla/petal and calyx/sepal)
the flower is joined to the stem by a central axis the stalk commonly known as
peduncle or pedicel
the expanded terminal portion of the pedicel where the floral parts arise is called
torus or receptacle
pistils, stamen, calyx, and corolla are present
complete flower
one or more of its parts (pistils, stamen, calyx, and corolla) is/are missing
incomplete flower
both stamen and pistil are present in one flower
perfect flower or bisexual
either stamen or pistil is present, not both in one flower
imperfect flower or unisexual
both staminate and pistillate flowers are borne on the same plant, ex: corn
monoecious
staminate flowers are produced by one plant and the pistillate flowers by another plant, ex: papaya
dioecious
ovary (pistil) superior, sepal, petal, and stamen below
hypogynous
ovary (pistil) inferior, sepal, petal, and stamen above
epigynous
ovary (pistil) superior by half inferior-pistil at the bottom of receptacle or the edges of which the sepal, stamen, and petal are attached
perigynous
floral organs of the same kind fused
conation
floral organs of another type maybe fused together
adnation
when parts of each set of organs is of the same size and shape and they show radial symmetry
regular flower
when some parts of one or more sets of organs differ from other parts of the same set either in size or in shape, or both
irregular flower
represented by bean flowers
papilionaceous
represented by the orchids
orchidaceous
represented by the fire or flame tree, caballero
caesalpinaceous
two sets of petals
two lipped or bilabiate
it consists of standard or banner petal, two wing petals, keel, stamen, stigma, hypogynous
bean flowers
it consists of epigynous, three distinct sepals, two wing petals, stamens
orchid flowers
it consists of petal, keel, stamen
flame tree flowers
parts may be produced on the receptacles
spiral
parts maybe produced in circle
whorls
sessile flowers on simple undivided axis
spike or spicate
pedicelled flowers on undivided axis
raceme or racemose
floral axis is much branched from which pedicellate flowers arise
panicle or paniculate
predicted flowers of equal length arise from a common point
umbel or umbellate
composed rays and disks flowers wherein sessile flowers arise from a flat or short axis producing a globose or flat-topped cluster
head or capitulum
a modified panicle, a flat-topped or convex-topped inflorescence due to lower flowers having longer pedicels. Outer flowers open first
corymb or corymbose
similar to corymb but thin inner flowers open first
cyme or cymose
several spadices (perfect or unisexual, fleshy flower on fleshy axis enclosed by a floral envelope, which is actually a fleshy bract, the spathe
fascicle
family poaceae is also known as
family gramineae or grass family
they are fodders, grow annually, prevent soil erosion (fibrous roots), and comprise 60% of biomass
family poaceae
they are one-time flower. After flowering, they are dead
