The carpel is the basic unit of the pistil; a simple pistil consists of a single carpel, and a compound pistil consists of two or more united carpels. Commonly differentiated into stigma, style, and ovary. Locule: A cavity within a sporangium or a cavity of the ovary in which ovules occur. Ovary: Swollen basal portion of the carpel or pistil containing ovule(s). Pedicel: The stalk of an individual flower in an inflorescence. Peduncle: The stalk of a solitary flower or of an inflorescence. Perianth: The sepals and petals together. Petal: The part of the flower that is usually conspicuously colored; collectively, the corolla. Receptacle: The enlarged end of the flower stalk to which the sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels are attached. Sepal: The outermost part of a flower; collectively, the calyx, which usually encloses the other parts. Stamen: The part of the flower that produces the pollen; usually composed of anther and filament; collectively, the androecium. Stigma: Upper, pollen-receptive portion of style. Style: Slender, stalklike portion of a carpel, or pistil; arises from the top of the ovary. Complete flower: A flower in which all four floral parts—sepal, petal, stamen, and carpel—are present. Incomplete flower: A flower in which one or more of the four floral parts is lacking. -merous: An ending that, together with a number, indicates the number of each of the floral parts. For example, 3-merous would mean having three parts of each kind. a-: A prefix used to indicate absence of a floral part (“apetalous” means that petals are lacking). Distribution of Sexes Perfect flower: A single flower that has both stamens and pistils; bisexual, or hermaphroditic. Imperfect flower: A flower in which either stamens or pistils are lacking; unisexual. A unisexual flower possessing only an androecium is referred to as a staminate flower; a flower possessing only a gynoecium is referred to as a pistillate, or carpellate, flower. Monoecious: Having both carpellate and staminate flowers on the same plant. Dioecious: Having carpellate flowers on one plant, and staminate flowers on another of the same species. Arrangement of Floral Parts Spiral arrangement: Floral parts are arranged in a spiral on the floral axis, or receptacle. Whorled arrangement: Having the floral parts arranged in circles, or in whorls (in the same plane), on the floral axis, or receptacle. SYMMETRY OF FLOWERS Regular: Corolla made up of similarly shaped petals that radiate from the center of the flower and that are equidistant from one another; actinomorphic, or radially symmetrical, flower. Irregular: Having one or more parts in at least one whorl of different form from other parts of the same whorl; a flower that is bilaterally symmetrical, or zygomorphic. MONOECIOUS VS DIOECIOUS INSERTION OF FLORAL PARTS Insertion of Floral Parts Hypogyny: Floral organization in which the sepals, petals, and stamens are attached to the receptacle at the base of the ovary, which is superior (that is, free from the calyx). Perigyny: Floral organization in which the sepals, petals, and stamens are attached to the margin of a cup-shaped extension of the receptacle (the hypanthium). The ovary is free of surrounding parts and is superior. Epigyny: Floral organization in which the sepals, petals, and stamens apparently grow' from the top of the ovary, which is inferior (that is, completely or partially attached to the calyx). Note: both hypogynous and perigynous flowers have superior (S) ovaries; only epigynous flowers have inferior (I) ovaries. PLACENTATION TYPE Axile: Having placentae arranged around (or ovules borne upon) a central column of tissue in an ovary with as many locules as there are carpels. Parietal: Having placentae borne upon the ovary wall or on an extension of it; the

  • 11-FLOWER DIAGRAMES, FORMULAS and FLOWER SYMETRY FLOWER FORMULAS and DIAGRAMES
    11-FLOWER DIAGRAMES, FORMULAS AND FLOWER SYMETRY FLOWER FORMULAS and DIAGRAMES 1. FLOWER FORMULAS Floral formula is a means to represent the structure of a flower using numbers, letters and various symbols, presenting substantial information about the flower in a compact form. It can represent particular species, or can be generalized to characterize higher taxa, usually giving ranges of organ numbers. Floral formulae are one of the two ways of describing flower structure developed during the 19th century, the other being floral diagrams. Apart from the graphical diagrams, the flower structure can be characterized by textual formulae. A floral formula consists of five symbols indicating from left to right: Floral Symmetry Number of Tepal Number of Sepals Number of Petals Number of Stamens Number of Carpels Tepals Sepals Patals Stamen Carpels P K C A G The parts of the flower are described according to their arrangement from the outside to the inside of the flower. If an organ type is arranged in more whorls, the outermost is denoted first, and the whorls are separated by “+”. If the organ number is large or fluctuating, is denoted as “∞”. 2. FLOWER DIAGRAMES Floral diagram is a graphic representation of flower structure. It shows the number of floral organs, their arrangement and fusion. Different parts of the flower are represented by their respective symbols. Rather like floral formulas, floral diagrams are used to show symmetry, numbers of parts, the relationships of the parts to one another, and degree of connation and/or adnation. Such diagrams cannot easily show ovary position. FLOWER SYMMETRY Floral symmetry describes whether, and how, a flower in particular its perianth, can be divided into two or more identical or mirror-image parts.

  • Phylogenetic Reconstruction Prompts Taxonomic Changes in Sauropus, Synostemon and Breynia (Phyllanthaceae Tribe Phyllantheae)
    Blumea 59, 2014: 77–94 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651914X684484 Phylogenetic reconstruction prompts taxonomic changes in Sauropus, Synostemon and Breynia (Phyllanthaceae tribe Phyllantheae) P.C. van Welzen1,2, K. Pruesapan3, I.R.H. Telford4, H.-J. Esser 5, J.J. Bruhl4 Key words Abstract Previous molecular phylogenetic studies indicated expansion of Breynia with inclusion of Sauropus s.str. (excluding Synostemon). The present study adds qualitative and quantitative morphological characters to molecular Breynia data to find more resolution and/or higher support for the subgroups within Breynia s.lat. However, the results show molecular phylogeny that combined molecular and morphological characters provide limited synergy. Morphology confirms and makes the morphology infrageneric groups recognisable within Breynia s.lat. The status of the Sauropus androgynus complex is discussed. Phyllanthaceae Nomenclatural changes of Sauropus species to Breynia are formalised. The genus Synostemon is reinstated. Sauropus Synostemon Published on 1 September 2014 INTRODUCTION Sauropus in the strict sense (excluding Synostemon; Pruesapan et al. 2008, 2012) and Breynia are two closely related tropical A phylogenetic analysis of tribe Phyllantheae (Phyllanthaceae) Asian-Australian genera with up to 52 and 35 species, respec- using DNA sequence data by Kathriarachchi et al.

Their structure can be recorded in a variety of ways: • Directed observation through use of questionnaires • Drawing half a flower and labelling its structure • Creating a plan of the flower as if viewed from above • Creating a simple floral formula (this worksheet is using a simplified form of the recording system used by botanists) See worksheets 1-4 at back of booklet. Pollination Mechanisms • An extension of this work is to look at a variety of ways in which plants are designed in order to attract different pollinators See ‘A Guide To Pollinators’ at back of booklet. • Busy Bees. This is a game where pupils act out pollination See worksheet 5 at back of booklet Guide To Pollinators “Bee Flowers” Typically yellow, blue or purple. They produce pollen and lots of nectar, are often marked with lines and blotches and are sweetly scented at certain times of the day. “Butterfly Flowers” Vivid colours, often purple, red or white. Usually open during the day with a long thin corolla tube, lots of nectar and a strong scent. “Moth Flowers” Often white, p ink or pale yellow, open at night and have a heavy scent. “Wasp Flowers” Often pinkish or dirty red, with horizontal or drooping cups into which the short tongued wasp can push its head.

  • JUDD W.S. Et. Al. (1999) Plant Systematics
    CHAPTER8 Phylogenetic Relationships of Angiosperms he angiosperms (or flowering plants) are the dominant group of land Tplants. The monophyly of this group is strongly supported, as dis- cussed in the previous chapter, and these plants are possibly sister (among extant seed plants) to the gnetopsids (Chase et al. 1993; Crane 1985; Donoghue and Doyle 1989; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994). The angio- sperms have a long fossil record, going back to the upper Jurassic and increasing in abundance as one moves through the Cretaceous (Beck 1973; Sun et al. 1998). The group probably originated during the Jurassic, more than 140 million years ago. Cladistic analyses based on morphology, rRNA, rbcL, and atpB sequences do not support the traditional division of angiosperms into monocots (plants with a single cotyledon, radicle aborting early in growth with the root system adventitious, stems with scattered vascular bundles and usually lacking secondary growth, leaves with parallel venation, flow- ers 3-merous, and pollen grains usually monosulcate) and dicots (plants with two cotyledons, radicle not aborting and giving rise to mature root system, stems with vascular bundles in a ring and often showing sec- ondary growth, leaves with a network of veins forming a pinnate to palmate pattern, flowers 4- or 5-merous, and pollen grains predominantly tricolpate or modifications thereof) (Chase et al. 1993; Doyle 1996; Doyle et al. 1994; Donoghue and Doyle 1989). In all published cladistic analyses the “dicots” form a paraphyletic complex, and features such as two cotyle- dons, a persistent radicle, stems with vascular bundles in a ring, secondary growth, and leaves with net venation are plesiomorphic within angio- sperms; that is, these features evolved earlier in the phylogenetic history of tracheophytes.

  • Flower and Floral Trichome Morphology of Species of Dyckia Schult. F
    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 31(1): 29-41. January-March 2017. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0335 Flower and fl oral trichome morphology of species of Dyckia Schult. f. (Bromeliaceae, Pitcairnioideae), and their importance to species characterization and genus taxonomy Jordano Dorval Tavares de Carvalho¹, Liliana Essi² and João Marcelo Santos de Oliveira³* Received: September 10, 2016 Accepted: December 15, 2016 . ABSTRACT Th is paper presents a morphological analysis of the fl ower and fl oral trichomes of three rare species of Dyckia: Dyckia ibicuiensis, D. polyclada and D. racinae. Flowers at anthesis were collected from natural populations and subjected to morphometric and microscopic analysis. Among the most representative features for Dyckia are: morphometrics of individual fl oral parts; the general confi guration of the androecium and gynoecium; the degree of fusion of the stigmatic lobes; the morphology of the ovules, especially in relation to the chalazal appendix; and the presence and constitution of peltate trichomes in the perianth, which exhibited a polymorphism not previously reported for Dyckia. Th e characters were eff ective at describing each species, proposing phylogenetic inferences and recognizing infrageneric groupings. We propose two species groups, which are consistent with previous hypotheses about the relationships among the species of the genus. Th e objective of this study was to provide fl oral morphological data useful for characterizing these three rare species, delimiting the genus and forming phylogenetic hypotheses. Keywords: androecium, Dyckia, Encholirium, fl oral morphology, gynoecium, peltate trichome, perianth, Pitcairnioideae Introduction taxon, morphological studies of diff erent fl ower organs have allowed for inferences of evolutionary, systematic, ecological and physiological orders in diverse genera of the Morphological and anatomical studies using diff erent family (Varadarajan & Brown 1988; Brown & Gilmartin approaches have provided effective instruments for 1989; Brown & Terry 1992; Sajo et al.

  • Scholar (Botany) University of Baluchistan Session:2017-2018
    Mr.Hameedullah kakar M.sc: scholar (botany) university of Baluchistan session:2017-2018 FLOWER DESCRIPTION SOME IMPORTANT TERMS Parts of Flowers • The pistil has three parts: stigma, style, and ovary. • The stigma is the sticky surface at the top of the pistil; it traps and holds the pollen. • The style is the tube-like structure that holds up the stigma. • The style leads down to the ovary that contains the ovules. Classification of FLOWERS: • Complete: flowers possessing petals and sepals • Incomplete: flowers possessing either petals or sepals • Perfect: flowers containing both pistil and stamen • Imperfect: flowers containing either the pistil or stamen Parts of Flowers • A complete flower has a stamen, a pistil, petals, and sepals. • An incomplete flower is missing one of the four major parts of the flower, the stamen, pistil, petals, or sepals. Parts of Flowers • Flowers can have either all male parts, all female parts, or a combination. • Flowers with all male or all female parts are called imperfect (cucumbers, pumpkin and melons). • Flowers that have both male and female parts are called perfect (roses, lilies, dandelion). Students are to illustrate the following: • Complete/ Perfect Flower • Incomplete/Perfect Flower • Complete/ Imperfect Flower • Incomplete/ Imperfect Flower Types of Flowers: • As previously mentioned, there are plants which bear only male flowers (staminate plants) or bear only female flowers (pistillate plants). • Species in which the sexes are separated into staminate and pistillate plants are called dioecious. • Most holly trees and pistachio trees are dioecious; therefore, to obtain berries, it is necessary to have female and male trees. Types of Flowers: • Pistillate (female) flowers are those which possess a functional pistil(s) but lack stamens.
