Typha / ˈ t aɪ f ə / is a genus of about 30 species of monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Typhaceae.These plants have a variety of common names, in British English as bulrush [4] or (mainly historically) reedmace, [5] in American English as cattail, [6] or punks, in Australia as cumbungi or bulrush, in Canada as bulrush or cattail, and in New Zealand as reed, cattail, bulrush ...
In 1729, Micheli described genus Linagrostis, including an illustration of an unidentified plant. [15] (The plant was later identified to be Eriophorum vaginatum. [16]) Tournefort coined the French name Linaigrette (Latin: Linagrostis) in 1694, [17] but his contribution became better known in Europe when his book was translated to Latin in 1719 ...
Leucocoprinus birnbaumii is a small, yellow dapperling mushroom which is frequently found in plant pots and greenhouses. The fruit bodies of Leucocoprinus birnbaumii are agaricoid (mushroom-shaped) and occur singly or in small clumps.
The plant is a rosette-forming perennial herb, with leafless, silky, hairy flower stems, growing to 45 centimetres (17 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) tall, [5] exceptionally 90 cm (35 in). [6] The basal leaves are lanceolate spreading or erect, scarcely toothed with 3–5 strong parallel veins narrowed to a short petiole .
Once the embryo germinates from its seed or parent plant, it begins to produce additional organs (leaves, stems, and roots) through the process of organogenesis. New roots grow from root meristems located at the tip of the root, and new stems and leaves grow from shoot meristems located at the tip of the shoot. [8]
Deciduous – leaves are shed after the growing season. Evergreen – leaves are retained throughout the year, sometimes for several years. Fugacious – lasting for a short time: soon falling away from the parent plant. Marcescent – dead leaves, calyx, or petals are persistent and retained. Persistent – see Marcescence. Venation:
flowering plants – alternate-leaved golden-saxifrage (Chrysosplenium alternifolium); [5] black elder (Sambucus nigra) from the moschatel (Adoxaceae) family has been growing since in the Lurgrotte [6] near Peggau in Styria. Fungi and roots growing into caves, as well as plants growing in naturally illuminated areas, are not lampenflora.
The plant prefers a mean annual rainfall between 1,000–4,500 millimetres (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 –15 ft), but it can tolerate 500–5,000 mm per year. [18] Canna prefers light sandy-loamy soils, but can also grow on heavy soils, as far as they are not wet. It is indifferent to soil pH. For seeds to germinate, they must soak in water for two to three ...
