me AGAIN!
Just dropping in to ask for a couple of definitions regarding botanical
terms. If some kind soul would have a look at the following site and taking the drawings as a,b,c,d, from the left and tell me what these 'parts' should be called I would be extremely grateful. http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs21&d=05121&f=Botanica.jpg I have checked 'The Language of Botany' by C. Debenham but it was too technical for me as a layman to decide which way to go. For instance I have been advised to call a : Inflorescence I always thought this meant the flowering part of a plant. Could this be used to describe the central column [stamen? stigma?] prior to the stage where anthers were swollen with pollen, if the petals were removed? c. I have been advised to call this a Bud - again I thought this was the pre flowering stage - relating to a young flower. I have been advised to use this to describe what I would call immature fruit ,[the stage before the seeds are fully formed and the capsule is ready to open] Thanks in advance Gramma |
