Persistence is the retention of plant organs, such as flowers, seeds, or leaves, after their normal function has been completed, in contrast with the shedding of deciduous organs after their purpose has been fulfilled. [1] Absence or presence of persistent plant organs can be a helpful clue in plant identification, and may be one of many types ...
annual: a plant species that completes its life cycle within a single year or growing season; basal: attached close to the base (of a plant or an evolutionary tree diagram) climber: a vine that leans on, twines around or clings to other plants for vertical support; deciduous: falling seasonally, as with bark, leaves or petals
In phylogenetic nomenclature, the Pentapetalae are a large group of eudicots that were informally referred to as the "core eudicots" in some papers on angiosperm phylogenetics. [2] They comprise an extremely large and diverse group accounting for about 65% of the species richness of the angiosperms , with wide variability in habit , morphology ...
P-persistent This approach lies between the 1-persistent and non-persistent CSMA access modes. [1] When the transmitting node is ready to transmit data, it senses the transmission medium for idle or busy. If idle, then it transmits immediately. If busy, then it senses the transmission medium continuously until it becomes idle, then transmits ...
In plant taxonomy, commelinids (originally commelinoids [1] [2]) is a clade of flowering plants within the monocots, distinguished by having cell walls containing ferulic acid.
Flower of Liriodendron tulipifera, a Mesangiosperm. Mesangiospermae is a clade that contains the majority of flowering plants (angiosperms). Mesangiosperms are therefore known as the core angiosperms, in contrast to the three orders of earlier-diverging species known as the basal angiosperms: Nymphaeales (including water lilies), Austrobaileyales (including star anise), and Amborellales.
The bulk of the plantings should however be native plants. Native plants have a job to do, non-natives not so much. More: Ask the Master Gardener: Want to garden while living in an apartment? Here ...
The APG system (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system) of plant classification is the first version of a modern, mostly molecular-based, system of plant taxonomy. Published in 1998 by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group , it was replaced by the improved APG II in 2003, APG III system in 2009 and APG IV system in 2016.
