''Zannichellia'' (common name horned pondweed) is a genus of submerged Aquatic plant, aquatic flowering plant, with threadlike leaf, leaves and tiny flowers. It is fully adapted to an aquatic Biological life cycle, life cycle, including underwater Hydrophily, pollination. There are perhaps five species, including ''Zannichellia palustris''. The genus is named after Gian Girolamo Zannichelli (1662–1729), Italian botanist. Description These slender plants grow submerged in water. The leaves are usually oppositely arranged and long and narrow. They have stipular sheaths. The flowers are unisexual. The male flowers have a single stamen with a slender filament and anthers that are 2-4-Theca, thecous. The female flowers have a cup-shaped membranous perianth. There are usually four carpels with a single pendulous ovule in each ovary. The stigma is shield shaped with toothed margins. The fruit is usually made of four long, dry achenes.

Zannichellia Palustris
''Zannichellia palustris'', the horned pondweed, is a plant found in fresh to brackish waters in the United States (especially in the Chesapeake Bay), Europe, Asia, Australasia, and South America. It is recognizable by its long, thread-like leaves and "stringy" appearance. Its roots are long and tendril-like, and its seeds bear a distinctive horned shape, hence the common name. The species epithet ''palustris'' is Latin for "of the marsh" and indicates its common habitat. A diploid, its chromosome number was confirmed as 2''n'' = 24.Norio Tanaka, Yu Ito, Ruriko Matsuyama and Koichi Uehara (2007) Chromosome numbers of ''Zannichellia'' L. (Zannichelliaceae) in Japan.

Zannichellia Aschersoniana
''Zannichellia aschersoniana'' is an endangered species of aquatic plant endemic to the West Coast of the Western Cape, South Africa. Habitat and range ''Zannichellia aschersoniana'' is found between Lambert's Bay to Stilbaai in freshwater wetland systems. Conservation status ''Zannichellia aschersoniana'' is assessed as critically endangered in the SANBI Red List of South African Plants, and endangered in the IUCN Red List due to its relatively small area of occupancy of less than 10 km2 in two locations around the Cape Peninsula The Cape Peninsula () of South Africa is a generally mountainous peninsula that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean at the south-western extremity of the African continent. At the southern end of the peninsula are Cape Point and the Cape of Good .... Its existence is threatened by the degradation of wetlands through urban expansion and the introduction of invasive alien plants. The species hasn't been recorded since the 1960s. Reference ...

AlgaeBase
AlgaeBase is a global species database of information on all groups of algae, both seaweed, marine and freshwater algae, freshwater, as well as sea-grass. History AlgaeBase began in March 1996, founded by Michael D. Guiry, Michael Guiry. Text was copied from this source, which is available under aAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)licence. (Sehere. By 2005, the database contained about 65,000 names. In 2013, AlgaeBase and the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) signed an end-user license agreement regarding the intellectual property, Electronic Intellectual Property of AlgaeBase. This allows the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) to include taxonomic names of algae in WoRMS, thereby allowing WoRMS, as part of the Aphia database, to make its overview of all described marine species more complete. Synchronisation of the AlgaeBase data with Aphia and WoRMS was undertaken manually until March 2015, but this was very time-consuming, so an online application was developed ...

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Theca
In biology, a theca (: thecae) is a sheath or a covering. Botany In botany, the theca is related to plant's flower anatomy. The theca of an angiosperm consists of a pair of microsporangia that are adjacent to each other and share a common area of dehiscence called the stomium. Larry Hufford, "The origin and early evolution of angiosperm stamens" i''The Anther: form, function, and phylogeny'' William G. D'Arcy and Richard C. Keating (editors), Cambridge University Press, 1996, 351pp, p.60, (from Google Books) Any part of a microsporophyll that bears microsporangia is called an anther. Most anthers are formed on the apex of a filament. An anther and its filament together form a typical (or filantherous) stamen, part of the male floral organ. The typical anther is bilocular, i.e. it consists of two thecae. Each theca contains two microsporangia, also known as pollen sacs. The microsporangia produce the microspores, which for seed plants are known as pollen grains. If the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
