Flowers
Reproductive structure of flowering plants with or without protective envelopes, the calyx and/or corolla; short shoot with sporophylls and with or without sterile protective leaves, the calyx and corolla. Modified reproductive shoot of angiosperms.
Anther dehiscence | Anther (pollen-bearing portion of stamen) classification based on dehiscence (splitting when mature). | |
Bracts below calyx | Modified, usually reduced, leaf found in the inflorescence. | |
Number ovules | Embryonic seed consisting of integument(s) and nucellus. | |
Pedicel color | Color determinations based on accepted color charts and codes. | |
Pedicel indument | Trichome cover types or type of hairy cover (vestiture or indument), for the flower stalk (pedicel). | |
Pedicel length | The flower stalk. | |
Pedicel thickness | The flower stalk. | |
petal apex | The tip of a two-dimensional structure which is usually bounded by the upper 5-10% of the margins; or the top of a three-dimensional structure. | |
Petal color | Color determinations based on accepted color charts and codes. | |
Petal Length | ||
Petal nectary | Sugary compound producing glands found mostly on floral parts that produce attractants for pollinators; nectar producing tissues or organs. | |
Petal number | ||
Petal Planarity | The relation of the margins or sides of a single organ, structure or part in relation to its central longitudinal axis. | |
Petal Shape | An outline of specific form which is plane or two-dimensional; or a specific figure which is three dimensional. | |
Pistils per flower | Gynoecium or pistil is the whorl or group of carpels in the center or at the top of the flower; all carpels in a flower. | |
Sepal color | A calyx member or segment; a unit of the calyx. | |
Sepal number | A calyx member or segment; a unit of the calyx. | |
Stamen number | The male sporophyll within the flower; the floral organ that bears pollen in angiosperms. | |
Stamens showy | The male sporophyll within the flower; the floral organ that bears pollen in angiosperms. | |
Staminodia between stamens and pistils | Sterile stamen, may be modified as a nectary or petaloid structure. | |
Stigma width | Pollen receptive portion of carpel. | |
Style type | Attenuated, non-ovule-bearing portion of carpel between stigma and ovary. Classification based primarily on shape | |
Ray flowers | Strap-shaped. | |
Ray flower color | Strap-shaped. | |
Ray flower 'ligule' | The strap-shaped portion of a ray or ligulate corolla. | |
Disk flowers | The inner flowers in Asteraceae such as the yellow flowers in the daisy. They are flowers, not just petals. | |
Disk flower color | The inner flowers in Asteraceae such as the yellow flowers in the daisy. They are flowers, not just petals. | |
pale length | Scale or bract at base of tubular flower in composites. |
