Nt1310 Unit 2 Project Work

Physical Description: The sculpin has no scales and has alternating black and yellow stripes on its fins but can be other colors like gray. It also has a preopercular spine that is shaped like antlers with three to four spinules.

Each medium-green leaf is deeply cut with five-pointed lobes. As the trade name suggests, the foliage turns into an autumn blaze of orange-red to scarlet-red fall color. Flowers and fruit for this hybrid are very sparse.

The flower on the bottlebrush is dense and cylindrical flower spike, made up of individual flowers. The pistils, sepals and the five petals on the plant are hardly visible. The prominent feature of the bottlebrush is the stamen, which protrudes out of individual capsules on the stem. The Stamen of the Weeping Bottlebrush is all red, which is seen in image B, but the Prickly Bottlebrush has yellow anthers and red filaments, which is evident in image C. The Alpine Bottlebrush has a completely yellow flower, as seen in image A.

.*They are omnivorous, plantigrade and highly social animals *Body is covered with hairs (except palms, soles and face) *Limbs have five digits.

It’s growth habit is arching, sword-shaped leaves, about 1 foot tall. It is drought tolerant and likes full sun which is why I thought it would be a perfect accent to the small rocked area.

Stems are long and weak, square in cross section, prickly (spiny) with glands on young parts. Leaves are matt, mid-green, deeply veined and sometimes hairy. The lamina is pear or oval shaped, pointed to broadly-rounded apex, rounded base, round or regular toothed margins with wrinkled and strigose (sharp oppressed rigid bristly hairs) upper surface. When the leaves are crushed, a strong and distinctive odour is exuded. Flower heads have many smaller flowers. Each flower is tubular-shaped and have 4 spreading lobes (petals), changing colour with age. The colours would be a various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red or pink. Fruit is a berry or drupe arranged in clusters. The fruit is green and becomes purple-black when mature. This plant takes over huge areas usually in moist gullies, along drainage lines and around wetlands. It can be found scrambling high into tree tops. The intense growth of the weed restricts any plant to grow beneath it or around it. This results in plant growth being restricted and not allowing plantation to develop.

The stem seems watery, and when picked the entire plant will wilt quickly. There are multiple branches per plant. Because of this, and the fact that the plant can grow up to 5 feet high, it can have a bush like appearance. The stem is so watery because this plant tends to grow in moist areas, such as along streambanks.

Foliage is thick and heart-shaped with coarse ridges lining the edges, averaging 2- to 6-inches long. During the growing season their color is green, changing to yellow during the fall before the foliage drops during the winter months. The several inch long and flattened petiole allow the leaves to flap from side to side in windy conditions.

Bockshorn clover is similar to a bean plant that grows one to two meters high, and the flowers are white or pale yellow. Thin pods, sword-shaped have four to six inches long hold ten to twenty seeds. The plant lasts

Foliage: Contain glossy, green leaves range from narrow to broad shapes and are generally between 3-11cm long and 1-5 cm wide. Some may have regrowth that are coloured from bright pink - reddish brown colours.

The cones are green-brown, they measure 7–13 cm  in length, 2–3 cm when closed, and when opened they measure about 4-6cm wide.

AL is irregularly moniliform or nodular-cylindrical, slightly curved, occasionally branched, 5-42 mm in diameter and 2-9.3 cm long. It is externally greyish-brown to dark brown, marked with wrinkle, remains of rootlets and stem scars. Its texture is compact, fracture fibrous-like, pale yellow or greyish-white, white fine needle crystals appear after exposing for a long time and scattered with many reddish-brown oil spots. Its odor is aromatic taste, pungent, slightly sweetish and bitter (Figure 10).

Andean closely resembles a radish in shape, however, it is slightly larger in size. The root is three to six centimeters wide and 4.7 centimeters in length.

The Cephalanthus occidentalis is an ornammental shrub. The main aesthetic use of the buttonbush are the showy flowers. The flowers are typically white dense globes. These flowers not only offer an unique bloom shape, but they also bring fragrance to the area they are planted in. The Buttonbush blooms from June to September, but still has visual interest in the winter.

Antonomasia – the name of the heroine Daisy refers to a small European grassland plant which has flowers with a yellow disc and white rays.
