Nelumbonucifera, known by a number of names including Indian Lotus, Sacred Lotus, Bean of India, or simply Lotus, is a plant in the Nelumbonaceae family. This plant is an aquatic perennial. Iris means rainbow and comes in many colors. It has about 200 species and is native of North Temperate regions. They grow in many temperate climates. Bearded Iris and Siberian Iris are two of the most common types.
Sexual reproduction in plants occurs when the pollen from an anther is transferred to the stigma. Plants can fertilize themselves. • Self-fertilization occurs when the pollen from an anther fertilizes the eggs on the same flower. • Cross-fertilization occurs when the pollen is transferred to the stigma of an entirely different plant.

COMPARISSONS Monocotyledons Dicotyledons • Monocots have been recognized at various taxonomic ranks, and under various names. There are between 50,000 and 60,000 species within this group; the largest family in this group are the orchids, with more than 20,000 species. Many plants cultivated for their blooms are also from the monocot group, lilies, daffodils, irises, amaryllis, cannas, bluebells and tulips. • Magnoliidae are a group of about 9,000 species of flowering plants, including magnolias, nutmeg, bay laurel, cinnamon, avocado, black pepper, and many others. They are characterized by trimerous flowers, pollen with one pore, and usually branching-veined leaves.
