A floral diagram is a schematic cross-section through a young flower. [1] It may be also defined as “projection of the flower perpendicular to its axis”. [3] It usually shows the number of floral parts, [Note 2] their sizes, relative positions and fusion. Different organs are represented by distinguishable symbols, which may be uniform for ...
Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces. [note 1] Fertile leaves or sporophylls carry ...
Sepal. Diagram showing the parts of a mature flower. In this example, the perianth is separated into a calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals) Tetramerous flower of Ludwigia octovalvis showing petals and sepals. After blooming, the sepals of Hibiscus sabdariffa expand into an edible accessory fruit. In many Fabaceae flowers, a calyx tube surrounds ...
Petal. Diagram showing the parts of a mature flower. In this example, the perianth is separated into a calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals) Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly coloured or unusually shaped to attract pollinators.
Aestivation or estivation is the positional arrangement of the parts of a flower within a flower bud before it has opened. Aestivation is also sometimes referred to as praefoliation or prefoliation, but these terms may also mean vernation: the arrangement of leaves within a vegetative bud. Aestivation can be an important taxonomic diagnostic ...
A schematic, or schematic diagram, is a designed representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A schematic usually omits all details that are not relevant to the key information the schematic is intended to convey, and may include oversimplified elements in order to make this essential meaning easier to grasp, as well as additional ...
In angiosperms, a hypanthium or floral cup[1][2][3] is a structure where basal portions of the calyx, the corolla, and the stamens form a cup-shaped tube. It is sometimes called a floral tube, a term that is also used for corolla tube and calyx tube. [citation needed] It often contains the nectaries of the plant.
English: Diagram depicting a ray floret structure of family Asteraceae. The ray floret is female with one pistil containing one style, two stigmas, and an ovary with one ovule. Labeled parts are as follows: 1 – corolla (petals) (three petals are joined to form a strap, and in the case of 5 petals, they form a ligule); 2 – style;
