The term "angiosperm" is derived from the Greek words ἀγγεῖον / ('container, vessel') and σπέρμα / ('seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit. They are by far the most diverse group of land plants with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,000 known genera and 300,000 known species. Angiosperms were formerly called Magnoliophyta (). Angiosperms are distinguished from the other seed-producing plants, the gymnosperms, by having flowers, xylem consisting of vessel elements instead of tracheids, endosperm within their seeds, and fruits that completely envelop the seeds. The ancestors of flowering plants diverged from the common ance ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thymelaeaceae
The Thymelaeaceae are a cosmopolitan family of flowering plants composed of 50 genera (listed below) and 898 species.Zachary S. Rogers (2009 onwards)A World Checklist of Thymelaeaceae (version 1) Missouri Botanical Garden Website, St. Louis. It was established in 1789 by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu.Antoine Laurent de Jussieu ''Genera Plantarum'', page 76. Herrisant & Barrois, Paris. The Thymelaeaceae are mostly trees and shrubs, with a few vines and herbaceous plants. Description This is not intended as a full botanical description, but only as a few notes on some of the conspicuous or unusual traits of the family when ''Tepuianthus'' is excluded. The bark is usually shiny and fibrous. Attempts to break the stem often result in a strip of bark peeling down the side.Ernst Schmidt, Mervyn Lotter and Warren McCleland The number of stamens is usually once or twice the number of calyx lobes. If twice, then they often occur in two well separated series. Exceptions include ''Gonystyl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
