The leaves are generally spirally arranged on the stems and are usually narrow, rarely ovate. The inflorescence is a simple or slightly branched raceme. Individual flowers have four petals that are rose-purple to pink, rarely white. The petals are free at the base rather than united in a floral tube, as in Epilobium. The lower petals are ...
Chamaelirium luteum has a basal rosette of around six 8–15 cm leaves, from which a single spike-like raceme inflorescence (1–1.5 cm diameter, 8–30 cm length) emerges. The plants are generally dioecious, with male-biased gender ratios in a given population. This is due to higher mortality of female plants, and the tendency of female plants ...
The inflorescence is a symmetrical terminal raceme that blooms progressively from bottom to top, producing a gracefully tapered shape. The flowers are 2 to 3 centimetres (3 ⁄ 4 to 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches) in diameter, [2] slightly asymmetrical, with four magenta to pink petals and four narrower pink sepals behind. The protruding style has four ...
The inflorescence of a Phalaenopsis orchid is a typical raceme. A raceme (/ r eɪ ˈ s iː m, r ə-/) or racemoid is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along the shoots that bear the flowers. The oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in ...
A raceme is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence with pedicellate (having short floral stalks) flowers along the axis. A spike is a type of raceme with flowers that do not have a pedicel. A racemose corymb is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence that is flat-topped or convex due to their outer pedicels which are progressively longer ...
In reference to an inflorescence (a shoot specialised for bearing flowers, and bearing no leaves other than bracts), an indeterminate type (such as a raceme) is one in which the first flowers to develop and open are from the buds at the base, followed progressively by buds nearer to the growing tip. The growth of the shoot is not impeded by the ...
Betula alleghaniensis, forest emblem of Quebec, [6] Canada. Betula alleghaniensis is a medium-sized, typically single-stemmed, deciduous tree reaching 60–80 feet (18–24 m) tall (exceptionally to 100 ft (30 m)) [2] [7] with a trunk typically 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) in diameter, making it the largest North American species of birch.
Spathodea is a genus in the plant family Bignoniaceae.The single species it contains, Spathodea campanulata, is commonly known as the African tulip tree. [2] The tree grows between 7–25 m (23–82 ft) tall and is native to tropical dry forests of Africa.
