A stalk-like structure, internode located between the calyx and the other parts of the flower. anticlinal Pointing up, away from, or perpendicular to a surface. Contrast periclinal. antrorse Directed forward or upward, e.g. of hairs on a stem. Contrast retrorse. apetalous Lacking petal s. apex. pl. apices. The tip; the point furthest from the ...
The oral cavity is at one end while the stalk is at the other. [6] The body is 30-40 micrometers in diameter contracted and the stalk is 3-4 micrometers in diameter and 100 micrometers long. [4] The protoplasm of Vorticella is typically a translucent blue-white colour, but may contain a yellow or green pigment. The food vacuoles may show as a ...
The proximal stalk or petiole is called a stipe in ferns. The lamina is the expanded, flat component of the leaf which contains the chloroplasts . The sheath is a structure, typically at the base that fully or partially clasps the stem above the node, where the leaf is attached.
The species name refers to the fragrant flowers, while the English name derives from a perceived resemblance of the stem to a corn (Zea mays) stalk. Synonyms include Aletris fragrans L. (basionym), Cordyline fragrans (L.) Planch., Pleomele fragrans (L.) Salisb., Sansevieria fragrans (L.) Jacq., Dracaena deremensis Engl., Dracaena smithii Hook.f ...
In Mizoram, in north-eastern India, it is called bäl; the leaves, stalks and corms are eaten as dawl bai. The leaves and stalks are often traditionally preserved to be eaten in dry season as dawl rëp bai. [93] [94] In Assam, a north-eastern state, taro is known as kosu (কচু). Various parts of the plant are eaten by making different dishes.
Stemonitis axifera requires about 20 hours to finish making its fruit bodies. Of this, eight hours are needed for induction of the sporangia and the development of the stalk and the columella, six hours more for the sporocarps to produce pigment and mature, and an additional six until the spores are discharged.
The base cells of the barbule form a plate from which a thinner stalk projects called the pennulum. At one more level of branching, the pennulum hosts small outgrowths from it called barbicels—which when found on pennaceous feathers, vary in structure depending on which side of a barb's ramus they project from. Proximal barbules (on the ...
A gynophore is the stalk of certain flowers which supports the gynoecium (the ovule-producing part of a flower), elevating it above the branching points of other floral parts. [1] Plant genera that have flowers with gynophores include Telopea, Peritoma arborea and Brachychiton. [2] gynophore and stipitate gynoecium
