For roses, the hypanthium is the tissue that composes the edible part of rosehips. Roses and apples are both members of the Rosaceae family; the fact that they have similar fruit morphology is a major consideration in placing them in the same taxonomic family.
Rosaceae (/ r oʊ ˈ z eɪ s iː. iː,-s i. aɪ,-s i. eɪ /), [5] [6] the rose family, is a family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The name is derived from the type genus Rosa .
In angiosperms, a hypanthium or floral cup [1] [2] [3] is a structure where basal portions of the calyx, the corolla, and the stamens form a cup-shaped tube. It is sometimes called a floral tube , a term that is also used for corolla tube and calyx tube .
Rosa banksiae Rosa persica. There are currently four subgenera in Rosa, although there have been some disputes over the years. [3] The four subgenera are: Hulthemia (formerly Simplicifoliae, meaning "with single leaves") containing one or two species from Southwest Asia, R. persica and R. berberifolia (syn. R. persica var. berberifolia) which are the only species without compound leaves or ...
The genus is circumscribed is defined by "a long-tubular hypanthium, an arborescent habit, and a calyx divided into two lobes." [ 1 ] It includes five species native to eastern Africa, Madagascar, the Philippines, New Guinea, and Lesser Sunda Islands.
Rosa rugosa (rugosa rose, beach rose, Japanese rose, Ramanas rose, or letchberry) is a species of rose native to eastern Asia, in northeastern China, Japan, Korea and southeastern Siberia, where it grows on beach coasts, often on sand dunes. [1] It is naturalized in much of Europe and parts of the United States and Canada. [2]
The carnivorous plant Nepenthes deaniana has pitcher elements that are obconic in shape to capture insects. [2] The hypanthium of the western USA plant Heuchera rubescens has one subspecies with an obconic structure, while several other subspecies have alternative hypantium geometries, so that the obconic characteristic is a subspecies determinant and diagnostic. [3]
If the hypanthium is absent, the flower is hypogynous, and the stamens, petals, and sepals are all attached to the receptacle below the gynoecium. Hypogynous flowers are often referred to as having a superior ovary. This is the typical arrangement in most flowers. If the hypanthium is present up to the base of the style(s), the flower is ...
