Slightly united to an organ of another kind, [13] usually to a part of another whorl, e.g. a sepal connected to a petal. Contrast adnate. adnate Grown from or closely fused to an organ of a different kind, [13] especially along a margin, e.g. a stamen fused to a petal. Adnate anther s have their halves attached to the filament through most of ...
Sepal – Antipetalous – when the stamens number the same as, and are arranged opposite, the corolla segments; e.g. Primula. Antisepalouse – when the stamens number the same as, and are arranged opposite, the calyx segments. Connective – the part of the stamen joining the anther cells. Tepal –
A mature flower. In this example, the perianth is separated into a calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals) The perianth (perigonium, perigon or perigone in monocots) is the non-reproductive part of the flower, and structure that forms an envelope surrounding the sexual organs, consisting of the calyx (sepals) and the corolla (petals) or tepals when called a perigone.
A sepal (/ ˈ s ɛ p əl, ˈ s iː p əl /) [1] [2] [3] is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants). Usually green, sepals typically function as protection for the flower in bud, and often as support for the petals when in bloom.
The muscles that control flight vary with the two types of flight found in insects: indirect and direct. Insects that use first, indirect, have the muscles attach to the tergum instead of the wings, as the name suggests. As the muscles contract, the thoracic box becomes distorted, transferring the energy to the wing.
The term was first proposed by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1827 and was constructed by analogy with the terms "petal" and "sepal". [ 1 ] [ 2 ] (De Candolle used the term perigonium or perigone for the tepals collectively; today, this term is used as a synonym for perianth .) [ 3 ]
You'll hammer these muscle groups, and get practically a full week to rest and recover before seeing that muscle group again. This split is reserved mainly for one population: bodybuilders.
Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE. "Say" for EG, used to mean "for example". More obscure clue words of this variety include: "Model" for T, referring to the Model T.
