Myrtacea Family: Varying from tall trees to woody shrubs, with aromatic leaves that possess oil glands. The leaves are either alternate, opposite or whorled. Flowers are symmetrically radial and perigynous; possessing 4 or 5 sepals and petals; at least 5 stamen which are long and obvious. Anthers are adnate or versatile, opening by longitudinal slits or by pores. (Flora of Australia Volume 19 1998). Eucalyptus genus: Exist as either mallees or trees, possessing smooth or rough bark. Adult Eucalypt leaves petiolate, are decusate and can be either glossy or dull. Their petals and sepals are joined, forming a cap over the bud which results in one or two opercula instead (Flora of Australia Volume 19 1998). Leptospermum genus: …show more content…
Racemose inflorescences, although conflorsecences are sometimes present in raceme arrangement. Flowers are usually paired and short stalked. Sepals present in 4s and free, arranged into a tube. 4 stamens present. Anthers are 2 locular, (Flora of Australia Volume 17B 1999). Banksia Genus: Trees or shrubs, with hairy, toothed to entire leaves that alternate, although sometimes whorled. Conflorescences present as terminal on branchlets and are cylindrical to ovoid; dense, multi-flowers and spike-like. Flowers zygomorphic, in pairs, and have a perianth which is tubular in the bud, with sepals that split at anthesis. The anthers themselves are sessile in concave tips of the sepals. (Flora of Australia Volume 17B 1999). Hakea Genus: Small tree or shrubs. Leaves are flat. Conflorescences present in raceme arrangement. Flowers are zygomorphic, either paired, or in flowered clusters Leaves to Landscape EVSC20001 Excursion Assignment Benjamin Wee 718770 30th April 2016 before being paired obviously or not. 4 anthers present, sessile. Perianth tube revolute and are curved under the limb, with sepals that either split to base or will remain fused and split only on the upper side (Flora of Australia Volume 17B

A Chinese plum, Prunus mume, blossoms in the cold of late winter and early spring. It is a classic Asian aesthetic of five petals. “It manages in the
Each of the flower spikelets is narrow and consists of a pair of bracts and 2-7 florets. Flower head erect with dense and uniform, having fluffy and bright purple-fading to dirty brown. It flowers on January to March.
I learned that each individual section of the plant/flower structure has its own use. The petals of a flower are used to attract insects or smaller animals while the anther produces pollen. The pollen that is produced by the anther is carried by insects or animals to the pistil of another flower where it may fertilize the eggs.

Their leaves are green and two-loaded, with about five to eight points. They are about two to three inches long, with two lobes. There are no flowers now since they don’t bloom in April.
The female flowers are in leafy cone-like catkins, called strobiles. When fully developed, the strobiles are about I 1/4 inch long. They are oblong in shape and rounded, consisting of a number of overlapping, yellowish-green bracts attached to a separate axis. If these leafy organs are removed, the axis will be seen to be hairy and to have a little zigzag course. Each of the bracts enfolds at the base revealing a small fruit or achene. Both the fruit and the bract have small, yellow lupulin glands. These are what contain the alpha and beta acids and essential oils, which give each type of hops its characteristic bittering and flavoring properties. (2)
1. Each flower is distinctive in its ability to target a specific depression symptom – sadness, fear, panic, gloom.
Look at the photo of a Pacinian corpuscle. Notice the onion-like bulb of connective tissue. Describe briefly —
Flower and fruit bearing in full sun. The tube-shaped flowers can grow up to 2 or 3 cm, are either coloured bright red or yellow, and heavily produce nectar. They grow from a densely clustered spear-shaped bulb called a cylindrical raceme, on the top of an up to 90 cm (about 3 foot) long (sometimes branched) stock. Most of plants are actually self-incompatible, meaning they cannot self fertilize, due to the mismatched maturity rates of its male and female reproductive organs. The flowers are protandrous: pollen is produced from a part of the flower called the stamen and released before a part of the flower called the stigma is mature and receptive enough to receive the pollen. Aloe requires another aloe plant’s pollen in order to reproduce. Instead of self fertilization this plant relies on small, nectar-eating, long-beaked birds, and less commonly bees, to accomplish pollination and fertilization. The fruit produced are called capsules, which are dry triangular fruits which at maturity split open to release numerous
