The ancient Egyptian Branch hieroglyph, also called a Stick, [1] is a member of the trees and plants hieroglyphs. The branch is an Egyptian language biliteral with the value (kh)t, (khet)-(ḫt); it is an ideogram-(determinative), [2] for wood, tree, and the linear measure (=100 cubits). [3] The hieroglyph is described as a branch without leaves.
A branch, also called a ramus in botany, is a stem that grows off from another stem, or when structures like veins in leaves are divided into smaller veins. [ 1 ] History and etymology
Brachychiton acerifolius is a large tree of the family Malvaceae endemic to tropical and subtropical regions on the east coast of Australia.It is famous for the bright red bell-shaped flowers that often cover the whole tree when it is leafless.
Branch attachment in common ash Fraxinus excelsior L. Figure 1: Anatomical drawing of the wood grain of a branch attachment in a tree. Initially branches are mechanically attached to the trunks of trees by forming interlocking wood grain patterns at the top of the joint, within what is known as 'axillary wood' (Fig. 1). [1]
A tree structure, tree diagram, or tree model is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree , although the chart is generally upside down compared to a biological tree, with the "stem" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.
Old leaves hang down forming a distinctive skirt-like feature that partly covers the fire-blackened trunk. X. australis flowers from July to December, but younger plants may flower in June. The common name grass tree is accurate as the trunks and branches of the tree varieties are literally made out of the leaf bases, not wood. [4]
Although "tree" is a common word, there is no universally recognised precise definition of what a tree is, either botanically or in common language. [1] [2] In its broadest sense, a tree is any plant with the general form of an elongated stem, or trunk, which supports the photosynthetic leaves or branches at some distance above the ground. [3]
The root has depth zero, leaves have height zero, and a tree with only a single vertex (hence both a root and leaf) has depth and height zero. Conventionally, an empty tree (a tree with no vertices, if such are allowed) has depth and height −1. A k-ary tree (for nonnegative integers k) is a rooted tree in which each vertex has at most k children.
