  2. Monocotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon

    Many monocots are herbaceous and do not have the ability to increase the width of a stem (secondary growth) via the same kind of vascular cambium found in non-monocot woody plants. [34] However, some monocots do have secondary growth; because this does not arise from a single vascular cambium producing xylem inwards and phloem outwards, it is ...

    Asparagales (asparagoid lilies) is an order of plants in modern classification systems such as the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) and the Angiosperm Phylogeny Web.The order takes its name from the type family Asparagaceae and is placed in the monocots amongst the lilioid monocots.

  5. Herbaceous plant - Wikipedia

    The same dictionary defines "herbaceous" as: "Of the nature of a herb; esp. not forming a woody stem but dying down to the root each year"; "BOTANY Resembling a leaf in colour or texture. Opp. scarious". [4] Botanical sources differ from each other on the definition of "herb".

  6. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. It supports leaves , flowers and fruits , transports water and dissolved substances between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem , engages in photosynthesis, stores nutrients, and produces new living tissue.

  7. Amaryllidaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaryllidaceae

    The Amaryllidaceae are a family of herbaceous, mainly perennial and bulbous (rarely rhizomatous) flowering plants in the monocot order Asparagales. The family takes its name from the genus Amaryllis and is commonly known as the amaryllis family. The leaves are usually linear, and the flowers are usually bisexual and symmetrical, arranged in ...

  8. Vascular cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_cambium

    Helianthus stem in section. The cells of the vascular cambium (F) divide to form phloem on the outside, located beneath the bundle cap (E), and xylem (D) on the inside. Most of the vascular cambium is here in vascular bundles (ovals of phloem and xylem together) but it is starting to join these up as at point F between the bundles.

  9. Plant taxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_taxonomy

    However, for many years after Brown's discovery, the primary division of the seed plants was seen as between monocots and dicots, with gymnosperms as a small subset of the dicots. [4] In 1851, Hofmeister discovered the changes occurring in the embryo-sac of flowering plants, and determined the correct relationships of these to the Cryptogamia.
