  1. Welcome to Northwest Plants Northwest Indian College • ENVS 201 Spring Quarter 2012

  2. Plant Parts reproductive components: vegetative organs: flowers stems fruits roots seeds leaves

  3. Today:Flowers

  4. Flower Features & Functions involved in sexual reproduction of flowering plants (angiosperms) produce fruits & seeds (following pollination and fertilization) may be self-pollinating or pollinated by various organisms vary little; primary basis for identification & classification

  5. lily magnolia (Magnolia soulangiana) flower, l.s. (magnoliid)

  6. Flower Components—Fertile, Male stamen - male reproductive structure filament - slender stalk-like structure anther - region of pollen sacs

  7. Flower Components—Fertile, Female pistil - female reproductive structure stigma - region at tip of style that receives pollen style - stalk of the pistil ovary - swollen base of pistil, becomes fruit

  8. snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) inflorescence

  9. snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) flower, l.s. (eudicot)

  10. Flower Components—Sterile (Auxiliary Structures) sepal - one of the elements in the outermost whorl petal - one of the elements of the whorl inside the sepals (may attract pollinators) tepal - petal and sepal, if indistinguishable from one another (e.g., lilies) receptacle - base where petals, etc. attached

  11. lily (Lilium) flower

  12. lily (Lilium) life cycle (monocot)

  13. Other Flower Terms complete - flower with all four floral parts (sepals, petals, stamens & pistils) incomplete - flower lacking one or more parts perfect - flower with male & female parts; pollen & ovules produced imperfect - flower lacking stamens or pistils; pollen or ovules not produced

  14. Flower Terms (continued) peduncle - stalk of an inflorescence or of a solitary flower pedicel - stalk of an individual flower in an inflorescence (or of a grass spikelet)

  15. Flower Terms (continued) dioecious, dioicous -”two houses,” plant species with separate male & female plants; male & female flowers on separate plants (imperfect, unisexual flowers) monoecious -”one house” (with two rooms), plant species with both male & female flowers on same plant; both types of imperfect, unisexual flowers on same plant

  16. Flower Terms (continued) regular (syn. actinomorphic) - flowers which are radially symmetrical (capable of being bisected into identical halves from any longitudinal cut (e.g., lily) irregular (syn. zygoomorphic) - flowers which are bilaterally symmetrical, only capable of being bisected in one plane to produce equal halves (e.g., snapdragon)

  17. Ovary Position epigynous, epigyny - describes a flower which has an inferior ovary, with the sepals, petals and stamens attached at or above the top of the ovary hypogynous, hypogeny - flower parts attached below the base of the ovary and free from it; flowers with this arrangement have a superior ovary perigynous, perigyny - borne around the gynoecium; floral parts (calyx, corolla and stamens) are attached to the edge of a cup-shaped hypanthium

  18. Flowers & Inflorescences solitary - plant with a single flower per stalk inflorescence - flowers grouped together in clusters of more than one flower
