The flowers are small and usually white, produced on sparse panicles up to 120 cm (47") long. In certain species, such as C. comosum (the ubiquitous 'spider plant'), the plants are known to reproduce vegetatively by producing plantlets —baby plants connected by an "umbilical" stem, sprouting from the side of the main mother-plant.
Chlorophytum comosum, usually called spider plant or common spider plant due to its spider-like look, also known as spider ivy, airplane plant, [2] ribbon plant (a name it shares with Dracaena sanderiana), [3] and hen and chickens, [4] is a species of evergreen perennial flowering plant of the family Asparagaceae.
This list of horticulture and gardening books includes notable gardening books and journals, which can to aid in research and for residential gardeners in planning, planting, harvesting, and maintaining gardens. Gardening books encompass a variety of subjects from garden design, vegetable gardens, perennial gardens, to shade gardens.
The library supplies images of flowers, plants and gardens to newspapers, [2] TV shows, [3] publishers and magazines [4] around the world. GWI has been involved with hundreds of publications and influential books such as Dr. D. G. Hessayon's "Expert" series [5] as well as all of the Greenfingers Guides. [6]
Chlorophytes are eukaryotic organisms composed of cells with a variety of coverings or walls, and usually a single green chloroplast in each cell. [4] They are structurally diverse: most groups of chlorophytes are unicellular, such as the earliest-diverging prasinophytes, but in two major classes (Chlorophyceae and Ulvophyceae) there is an evolutionary trend toward various types of complex ...
Hibberd's first gardening book was The Town Garden (1855), which described his own garden in Pentonville and advised novices how to start gardening. The same year he had already published Brambles and Bay Leaves, a book of essays on science and natural history, largely based on articles he had previously written for magazines or on lectures he had given.
Both the "chlorophyte algae" and the "streptophyte algae" are treated as paraphyletic (vertical bars beside phylogenetic tree diagram) in this analysis. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] The classification of Bryophyta is supported both by Puttick et al. 2018, [ 24 ] and by phylogenies involving the hornwort genomes that have also since been sequenced.
Chlorella sorokiniana is a species of freshwater green microalga in the Division Chlorophyta. [2] It has a characteristic emerald-green color and pleasant grass odor. Its cells divide rapidly to produce four new cells every 17 to 24 hours. The alga was described by Martinus W. Beijerinck in 1890. [3]
