FLOWER DIAGRAM

Diagram is flower in the projected image plane are located perpendicular to the axis of the flower

Plant Morphology

flower parts expressed by the following signs :1. flower decoration expressed with sickle2. stamens with elliptical3. pistil with transverse sectional through the

ovary and its place in the diagram4. Bracte and bracteola like small sickle5. The backbone which placed of flower appear

expressed by a small circle

Plant Morphology

how to make a flower diagram

1. location of flowering in plants2. flower parts that we will create several diagrams are

arranged in a circle

Plant Morphology

In drawing the parts of the flower itself which must be considered is:

a. How many of each part of the flower earlier.

b. How is the order of the others (eg leaf petals with one another), independently of one another, touching the edge, attaches or another.

c. How is the order of the parts of the flower to the other (the leaves of the canopy flower petals, stamens, leaves and fruits constituent stigma) dealing or alternate, free or attaches, and so on).

d. How is the location of the parts of the flower to the median plane.It turns out that the median field is often divided into two sections flowers symmetric (symmetric).

Plant Morphology

Other parts of the flower which can often be a typical characteristic for particular plant groups and reasonably well otherwise indicated on the diagram of interest, among others:

a. Additional petals (epicalix), commonly found in plants Malvaceae tribe. For example, cotton (Gossypium sp), Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa sinensis ) and others.

b. Crown (canopy) additional (corona), that of a breadfruit Asciepiadaceae, such biduri (Calotropisgigantea)

Plant Morphology

There are two kinds of flower diagram :

1. Empiric diagram of flower

Flower diagram contains only flower parts thatactually exist, so it describe the stateof the real interest rate

Plant Morphology

2. Teoritic diagram flower

Flower diagram illustrates the parts other than the real interest rate also includes parts that no longer exist.

Plant Morphology

flower diagram can give a clue about :

1. position of flowers on the stem2. composition and form of general interest3. horizontal arrangement of the flowers4. the edges of the flower attachment5. typical forms of the flowers

Plant Morphology

The symbol used in the formula interest rate tells properties related to symmetry or gender, the letters are an abbreviation for the parts of flowers

Symbols are used to describe the symmetry and sexual interest. For single symmetry (zigomorfi) given symbol ↑, and for regular symmetry (actinomorfi) given symbol *, is for sissies sex (¤), male sex (Ô), and female sex (ο)

SYMBOL

Plant Morphology

Petals, flower crown, the male, and the female characters are marked as follows:a. K or Ca for flower petals (K) or calyx (Ca),b. C or Co for corolla (C or Co), or the letter P (perigonium),c. A to stamens as the male (androecium) (A)d. G to the pistil or female genitals as gynoecium (G)

LETTER

Plant Morphology

Figures compiled as an index of K, C, A, and G, which states the number of constituent units, for example:Ca 5: calyx consists of 5 sepalsCo 5: corolla consists of five petalsA 5: androecium consists of five stamensG 5: gynoecium consists of 5 pieces of leafBesides, when it amounted to 10 but the stamens are arranged in two circles then written A 5 +5, and if there are more than 20 pieces of the written A ~.

There is a notation () claim that if these units attaches example:(Ca 5 Co 5) A (5) G (5)calyx and corolla means the attaches, attaches between the stamens and the fruit attaches between the leaves. At G when riding position ovary, drowned or half sinks can be written: G5, G (5), or G (5) -

NUMBER

Plant Morphology

example:flower peacock flower (Caesalpinia pulcherima), which is zigomortf, the formula becomes:

¤ ↑ K5, C5, A10, G1.

While flowers are lilies church (Lilium longiflorum) aktinomorf formula becomes:

¤ * P6, A6, G3.

Plant Morphology

Letters indicating which parts are arranged in more than one circle should be placed 2 times indicating the number of parts in each circle with a + (plus sign) between the two amounts. For example:

¤ ↑ K5, C5, A5 + 5, G1 and¤ * P3 + 3, A6, G3

if the flower parts are arranged in each circle that attaches to one another, then that shows the relevant part number placed in brackets, for example:

¤ ↑ (K5), C5, A5 + 5, G1 and¤ * (P3 + 3), A6, G3

Plant Morphology

There are times that attaches to the two kinds of flower parts, eg : stament and leaves the crown, as contained in the hibiscus flower. In such circumstances, which are placed in brackets is the second letter with the second figure shows the interest that attaches sorts earlier. For details hibiscus flower earlier formula is:

¤ * K5, [C5, A (∞)], G (5)
