Chloroplasts in leaf cells of the moss Mnium stellare. Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants.Originally, it included plant morphology, the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, but since the mid-20th century, plant anatomy has been considered a separate field referring only to internal plant structure.
Nepenthes naquiyuddinii / n ɪ ˈ p ɛ n θ iː z ˌ n æ k ɪ j ʊ ˈ d ɪ n i. aɪ / was described in 2006 by J. H. Adam and Hafiza A. Hamid. [14] The taxon is only known from Keningau-Kimanis Road and the foot of Mount Trus Madi, both in Sabah, Borneo, where it grows at an elevation of 1400 to 1424 m in open secondary vegetation.
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic.This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll.
Phytomorphology is the study of the physical form and external structure of plants. [1] This is usually considered distinct from plant anatomy, [1] which is the study of the internal structure of plants, especially at the microscopic level. [2]
A pioneering system of plant taxonomy, Linnaeus's Systema Naturae, Leiden, 1735 This list of systems of plant taxonomy presents "taxonomic systems" used in plant classification.
Stems are often specialized for storage, asexual reproduction, protection, or photosynthesis, including the following: . Climbing stem of Senecio angulatus.. Acaulescent: Used to describe stems in plants that appear to be stemless.
Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (/ ˌ æ n dʒ i ə ˈ s p ər m iː /). [5] [6] The term 'angiosperm' is derived from the Greek words ἀγγεῖον / angeion ('container, vessel') and σπέρμα / sperma ('seed'), meaning that the seeds are enclosed within a fruit.
Pinus merkusii is closely related to the Tenasserim pine (P. latteri), which occurs farther north in southeast Asia from Myanmar to Vietnam; some botanists treat the two as conspecific (under the name P. merkusii, which was described first), but P. latteri differs in longer (18–27 cm or 7– 10 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and stouter (over 1 mm thick) leaves and larger cones with thicker scales, the cones ...
