Floral anatomy question
From: "P van Rijckevorsel"
From: "P van Rijckevorsel" In Cacti there is only a single flower encapsulated in each receptacle so it should be closer to a pome than to a syconium? Sean Houtman schreef For most cacti, it is like a pome with nodes on it. In Opuntia fulgida, the nodes produce at least one new flower bud the following years. Sean + + + Thanks. And if these flowers then produce fruit this will give a very interesting infructescense, right? Very interesting indeed, it is called Chainfruit Cholla for that reason. www.ibiblio.org/herbmed/pictures/ j-o/opuntia-fulgida-1.jpg helios.bto.ed.ac.uk/bto/desertecology/ choimag7.htm www.dbg.org/Involved/ chain_fruit_cholla.html Sean -- Visit my photolog page; http://members.aol.com/grommit383/myhomepage Last updated 08-04-02 with 15 pictures of the Aztec Ruins.
