The main characteristics of the family: 1. Oil bodies are small and unsegmented. 2. The leaves are never folded. 3a. In larger species, the leaves are three or four lobed (often dentate) and have an incubous insertion. 3b. In smaller species, the leaves may be divided to their base as filaments. Description Species may range from a light to dark green, with some species of ''Bazzania'' bluish-green to brown. When the plants branch, the branches do not grow from the underside of the stem. Differentiation Here are the Bazzania okaritana. The underleaves of Bazzania nova Engel & G.L.Sm. have thick walls and are chlorophyllose; only one other species has similar underleaves, but its leaves are smaller and have four or six finger-like lobes. Underleaf of Bazzania species often has a markedly asymmetrical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plants Described In 2013
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ability t ...
