The finely hairy, upright, unbranched, stems grow to 15–50 centimetres (6– 19 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) tall. [5] Fertile plants have a single stem with two palmately lobed leaves . [ 6 ] Flowering plants produce a single terminal flower with no petals and three sepals and 12 or more conspicuous white pistils ; flowering occurs for a short time in ...
Polygonatum odoratum (syn. P. officinale), the angular Solomon's seal or scented Solomon's seal, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Europe, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Russian Far East, China, Mongolia, Korea, Nepal and Japan.
The Saimaa ringed seal is closely related to the Ladoga ringed seal, the populations likely became isolated from the Baltic ringed seal around the same time. The Saimaa ringed seal lives solely within Saimaa, a large freshwater lake in the regions of South Savo, South Karelia, and North Karelia in Finland. Current estimates place the size of ...
Streptopus amplexifolius has a superficial resemblance to False Solomon's Seal (Maianthemum racemosum), but Twisted Stalk produces axillary flowers and fruits along the stem, where False Solomon's Seal produces a terminal inflorescence. Also False Solomon's Seal is always a single unbranched stem, while Twisted Stalk can be branched at the bottom.
The fruit is red and 6–9 mm (0.24–0.35 in) across. [4] It is an epigynous berry , with the majority of the flesh of the fruit being composed of the fleshy calyx. The plant is a calcifuge , favoring acidic soil, in pine or hardwood forests, although it generally produces fruit only in sunnier areas. [ 5 ]
The fruit is a small orange-red berry 5–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) diameter that contains a few large whitish to brownish colored seeds that dry to a clear translucent round bead 1–3 mm (0.04–0.12 in) wide. Plants are self-incompatible, and colonies consisting of a single clone do not set seed. [13]
[5] [23] Cultivars reach full fruit set 6 to 7 years after grafting and they keep it for 20 to 25 years. The fruit production varies between 30 and 70 kilograms (70 and 150 pounds) per tree and year, depending on the variety and age. [5] Grafting on medlar seedlings is not recommended because of the slow growth of the grafts.
Eranthis hyemalis, the winter aconite, is a species of flowering plant in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to calcareous woodland habitats in France, Italy and the Balkans, and widely naturalized elsewhere in Europe.
