When complete, the list below will include all food plants native to the Americas (genera marked with a dagger † are endemic), regardless of when or where they were first used as a food source. For a list of food plants and other crops which were only introduced to Old World cultures as a result of the Columbian Exchange touched off by the ...
Allium flavum (yellow) and Allium carinatum (purple). Allium is a large genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants with around 1000 accepted species, [4] [5] making Allium the largest genus in the family Amaryllidaceae and amongst the largest plant genera in the world. [6]
About 3,800 additional non-native species of vascular plants are recorded as established outside of cultivation in the U.S., as well as a much smaller number of non-native non-vascular plants and plant relatives. The United States possesses one of the most diverse temperate floras in the world, comparable only to that of China.
A forb or phorb is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grass, sedge, or rush). The term is used in botany and in vegetation ecology especially in relation to grasslands [1] and understory. [2] Typically, these are eudicots without woody stems.
The ileum follows the duodenum and jejunum and is separated from the cecum by the ileocecal valve (ICV). In humans, the ileum is about 2–4 m long, and the pH is usually between 7 and 8 (neutral or slightly basic). Ileum is derived from the Greek word εἰλεός (eileós), referring to a medical condition known as ileus. [citation needed]
Allium tricoccum with open inflorescence bud (June 6). Allium tricoccum is a perennial growing from an ovoid-conical shaped bulb that is 2–6 cm (1–2 in) long. [4] Plants typically produce a cluster of 2–6 bulbs that give rise to broad, [5] flat, smooth, light green leaves, that are 20–30 cm (8–12 in) long including the narrow petioles, [4] often with deep purple or burgundy tints on ...
A major difference between vascular and non-vascular plants is that in the latter the haploid gametophyte is the more visible and longer-lived stage. In vascular plants, the diploid sporophyte has evolved as the dominant and visible phase of the life cycle.
The ilium (/ ˈ ɪ l i ə m /) (pl.: ilia) is the uppermost and largest region of the coxal bone, and appears in most vertebrates including mammals and birds, but not bony fish.All reptiles have an ilium except snakes, although some snake species have a tiny bone which is considered to be an ilium.
