Answers to Questions
1. Differentiate the following terms as they apply to the families studied in this exercise:
TERMS DEFINITION
a. monopodial A given stem axis which is derived from growth of
a single apical meristem
sympodial branching A given axis (which may appear to be
a single, continuous structure) is made up of numerous units
that are derived from separate apical meristems
b. corona A crown-like outgrowth between stamens and corolla; may
originate from petals or stamens
corolla The innermost series or whorl of modified leaves in the
perianth, the units of which are petals. (flower part)
c. androgynophore A stalk-like structure that bears the gynoecium
and androecium
gynophore The stalk of certain flowers which supports the gynoecium (the
ovule-producing part of a flower), elevating it above the
branching points of other floral parts.
d. plurilocular An ovary with two or more locules
unilocular ovary An ovary with one locule
e. capitate Head-shaped; spherical with a short basal stalk
clavate stigma Club-shaped; terete with a gradually tapering thickened
and rounded end. (shape) (b) A pollen sculpturing with club-
shaped elements, each element termed a clava
f. monoethecal/ bisporangiate Anther with one theca and typically two microsporangia
tetrasporangiate anthers Anther with two thecae and typically four microsporangia
