A floral diagram is a schematic cross-section through a young flower. [1] It may be also defined as “projection of the flower perpendicular to its axis”. [3] It usually shows the number of floral parts, [Note 2] their sizes, relative positions and fusion. Different organs are represented by distinguishable symbols, which may be uniform for ...
A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae).

The Liliaceae are characterised as monocotyledonous, perennial, herbaceous, bulbous (or rhizomatous in the case of Medeoleae) [7] flowering plants with simple trichomes (root hairs) and contractile roots. [8] The flowers may be arranged (inflorescence) along the stem, developing from the base, or as a single flower at the tip of the stem, or as ...
