Features of the perigynium may aid in seed dispersal, such as a surface that clings to fur or skin [6] or a shape that enables dispersion via wind or water. [7] Seed dispersal by animals such as ants has been recorded, as some species of sedges have developed elaiosomes at the base of the perigynia.
Buttercups usually flower in the spring, but flowers may be found throughout the summer, especially where the plants are growing as opportunistic colonizers, as in the case of garden weeds. The water crowfoots ( Ranunculus subgenus Batrachium ), which grow in still or running water, are sometimes treated in a separate genus Batrachium (from ...
The species of Samolus are herbaceous perennials and characterised by perigynous flowers. [4] The remaining genera (Theophrastaceae s.s.) are generally evergreen shrubs or small trees, with hypogynous flowers. [5] [6]
It is usually found on open hillsides [3] and desert washes and slopes that fall below 5,000 feet (1,500 m). These plants can grow to be up to 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm) wide and 1 to 3 feet tall. During the spring and summer the plant begins to bloom pale to vibrant pink flowers. [6]
Ranunculaceae (/ r ə n ʌ ŋ k j uː ˈ l eɪ s i ˌ aɪ,-s iː ˌ iː /, buttercup or crowfoot family; Latin rānunculus "little frog", from rāna "frog") is a family of over 2,000 known species of flowering plants in 43 genera, [2] distributed worldwide.
The genus comprises herbaceous perennial plants, shrubs, and rarely small trees, growing 0.5–6 m (1.5–19.5 feet) tall, with bipinnate leaves. The flowers are produced in cylindrical or globose inflorescences and have numerous long slender stamens which give rise to the common names powder-puff, powder puff plant, and fairy duster.
Aquilegia coerulea is a herbaceous plant with flowering stems that may be 15–80 centimeters (6–31 in) when fully grown. [3] Its leaves are on stems that are always shorter than the flowering stems, just 9–37 cm (4–15 in) and are compound leaves that usually have three leaflets on three components (), but occasionally may be simpler with just three leaflets or more complex ().

Symphyotrichum lateriflorum is a clump-forming perennial that grows 20–120 centimeters (3 ⁄ 4 –4 feet) tall and up to 30 cm (1 ft) wide. [4] Herbaceous and with alternate leaves, [5] it can have a different appearance throughout its lifespan or a season.
