Flowers on the periphery are zygomorphic and the corolla has one large lobe (the so-called "petals" of a daisy are individual ray flowers, for example). Either ray or disk flowers may be absent in some plants: Senecio vulgaris lacks ray flowers [4] and Taraxacum officinale lacks disk flowers. [4] [5] The individual flowers of a pseudanthium in ...
Hibiscus flower. Flower colour in certain species, such as H. mutabilis and H. tiliaceus, changes with age. [10] The fruit is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the capsule dehisces (splits open) at maturity. It is of red and white colours. It is an example of complete flowers.
Many flowers, for example, attract only one specific species of insect and therefore rely on that insect for successful reproduction. This close relationship is an example of coevolution, as the flower and pollinator have developed together over a long period to match each other's needs. [71]
Fruits of four different banana cultivars. Bamboo – bamboosa ardinarifolia; Banana – mainly Musa × paradisica, but also other Musa species and hybrids; Baobab – Adansonia Bay – Laurus spp. or Umbellularia spp.
Close-up of a Schlumbergera flower, showing part of the gynoecium (specifically the stigma and part of the style) and the stamens that surround it.

Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in Gaillac, France. The lists of cultivars in the table below are indices of plant cultivars, varieties, and strains.A cultivar is a plant that is selected for desirable characteristics that can be maintained by propagation.
Alternatively, under extreme climatic conditions, a biennial plant may complete its life cycle rapidly (e.g., in three months instead of two years). [7] This is quite common in vegetable or flower seedlings that were vernalized before they were planted in the ground. This behavior leads to many normally biennial plants being treated as annuals ...
This article lists the living orders of the Viridiplantae, based primarily on the work of Ruggiero et al. 2015. [1] Living order of Lycophytes and ferns are taken from Christenhusz et al. 2011b [2] and Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group. [3]
