  2. Floral axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_axis

    The floral axis acts much like a modified stem and births the organs that are attached to it. [7] The fusion of a plant's organs and the amount of organs that are developed from the floral axis largely depends on the determinateness of the floral axis. [8] The floral axis does perform different functions for different types of plants.

  3. Rose (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_(mathematics)

    Graphs of roses are composed of petals.A petal is the shape formed by the graph of a half-cycle of the sinusoid that specifies the rose. (A cycle is a portion of a sinusoid that is one period T = ⁠ 2π / k ⁠ long and consists of a positive half-cycle, the continuous set of points where r ≥ 0 and is ⁠ T / 2 ⁠ = ⁠ π / k ⁠ long, and a negative half-cycle is the other half where r ...

  4. Floral diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_diagram

    The axis corresponds to the position of the main stem relative to a lateral flower. [ 10 ] : 12 When a terminal flower is depicted, the axis is not present and therefore cannot be shown. Bracteoles , if they are present, are usually drawn on the sides of the diagram.

  5. Floral morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_morphology

    The function of these flowers is to specialize, within a group of flowers that are perfect, in attracting pollinating insects to the inflorescence. Such flowers, called neutral or asexual , are usually arranged on the periphery of the inflorescence and can be observed, for example, in many species of the compositae family, such as the daisy ...

  6. Inflorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflorescence

    The main axis (also referred to as major stem) above the peduncle bearing the flowers or secondary branches is called the rachis. The stalk of each flower in the inflorescence is called a pedicel. A flower that is not part of an inflorescence is called a solitary flower and its stalk is also referred to as a peduncle.

  7. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  8. Rose (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_(topology)

    Any connected graph is homotopy equivalent to a rose. Specifically, the rose is the quotient space of the graph obtained by collapsing a spanning tree. A disc with n points removed (or a sphere with n + 1 points removed) deformation retracts onto a rose with n petals. One petal of the rose surrounds each of the removed points.

  9. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

    showing on a horizontal axis and on a vertical axis, where is a phase space trajectory. Scatterplot : A scatter graph or scatter plot is a type of display using variables for a set of data. The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the ...
