John Ray (1674), pp. 164, 166 Since this paper appeared a year before the publication of Malpighi's Anatome Plantarum (1675–1679), Ray has the priority. At the time, Ray did not fully realise the importance of his discovery but progressively developed this over successive publications. And since these were in Latin, "seed leaves" became folia seminalia and then cotyledon, following Malpighi ...
Monocotyledon reproduction. A solitary bee pollinating an Allium monocot flower. The monocots (or monocotyledons) are one of the two major groups of flowering plants (or Angiosperms), the other being the dicots (or dicotyledons ). In order to reproduce they utilize various strategies such as employing forms of asexual reproduction, restricting ...
Commelinids. In plant taxonomy, commelinids (originally commelinoids[ 1][ 2]) is a clade of flowering plants within the monocots, distinguished by having cell walls containing ferulic acid. [ 3][ 4] The commelinids are the only clade that the APG IV system has informally named within the monocots. The remaining monocots are a paraphyletic unit.
Lilioid monocots ( lilioids, liliid monocots, petaloid monocots, petaloid lilioid monocots) is an informal name used for a grade (grouping of taxa with common characteristics) of five monocot orders ( Petrosaviales, Dioscoreales, Pandanales, Liliales and Asparagales) in which the majority of species have flowers with relatively large, coloured ...
A floral diagram is a schematic cross-section through a young flower. [ 1] It may be also defined as “projection of the flower perpendicular to its axis”. [ 3] It usually shows the number of floral parts, [ Note 2] their sizes, relative positions and fusion. Different organs are represented by distinguishable symbols, which may be uniform ...
Casparian strip. The Casparian strip is a band-like thickening in the center of the root endodermis (radial and tangential walls of endodermal cells) of vascular plants ( Pteridophytes [1] and Spermatophytes ). The composition of the region is mainly suberin, lignin and some structural proteins, which are capable of reducing the diffusive ...
Liliales is an order of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group and Angiosperm Phylogeny Web system, within the lilioid monocots. This order of necessity includes the family Liliaceae. The APG III system (2009) places this order in the monocot clade. In APG III, the family Luzuriagaceae is combined with the family ...
Broadleaf cattail. Monocotyledon species found in Montana number at least 615. The Montana Natural Heritage Program has identified a number of monocot species as Species of Concern.
