Plant sexuality - Angiosperms.
It is thought that flowering plants evolved from a common hermaphrodite ancestor, and that dioecy evolved from hermaphroditism. Hermaphroditism is very common in flowering plants—about 70% are hermaphroditic, while only about 5% are dioecious and 7% are monoecious. About 7% of species exhibit gynodioecy or androdioecy, while 10% contain both u ...

| | | | | flowering plant: Encyclopedia II - Orchidaceae - Fruits and seeds The orchid ovary is always inferior (located behind the flower), three-carpelate and 1 or 3-partitioned, with parietal placentation (but axile in the Apostasioideae).
If pollination was successful, the sepals and petals decolorize and wilt. But they remain attached to the ovary. The epigynous ovary typically develops into a capsule that is dehiscent by 3 or 6 longitudinal slits, while remaining closed at both ends. The ripening of a capsule can take from 2 to 18 months. The microscopic seeds are very numerous (over a million per capsu ...

The Private Life of Plants - Travelling.
This episode shows how plants travel from place to place: as seeds, by growing or by being carried by wind and water.
The Private Life of Plants - Growing.
This episode demonstrates the ways in which plants combine various elements to make living tissues — even trapping insects when other food is scarce.

| | | | | flowering plant: Encyclopedia II - The Private Life of Plants - Background information The series makes extensive use of time-lapse sequences in order to grant insights that would otherwise be almost impossible. As Attenborough explains in the first episode, plants live on a different time scale, and even though their life is highly complex and often surprising, most of it is invisible to us unless we show events that happen over months or even years within seconds. Like many traditional wildlife documentaries, it makes use of almost no computer animation. The series also discusses fungi, although ...

| | | | | flowering plant: Encyclopedia II - Bladderwort - Physical description The main part of a Bladderwort plant always lies below the surface of its substrate. Terrestrial species sometimes produce a few photosynthetic leaf-shoots which lie unobtrusively flat against the surface of their soil, but in all species only the flowering stems rise above and are prominent. This means that the terrestrial species are generally visible only while they are in flower, although aquatic species can be observed below the surfaces of ponds and streams.

Some orchids are terrestrial, growing rooted in the soil. Terrestrial orchids may be rhizomatous, forming corms or tubers. These act as storage organs for food and water. The root caps of terrestrials are smooth and white. Terrestrials are mostly found in colder climates.
A great many orchids are epiphytes, growing out of soil on tree branches. They occur in warmer regions. Epiphytic orchids have modified aerial roots and, in the older ...

| | | | | flowering plant: Encyclopedia II - Bladderwort - Species Utricularia is the largest genus of carnivorous plants. It is one of the three genera that make up the Bladderwort family (Lentibulariaceae), along with the butterworts (Pinguicula) and corkscrew plants (Genlisea).
This genus was considered to have 250 species until Peter Taylor reduced the number to 214 in his exhaustive study The Genus Utricularia: a taxonomic monograph, published by HMSO (1989). Taylor's classification is now generally accepted.

Each time, the lip serves as landing pad for the insects. This labellum has the right color and the right form to attract the right insect. After pollination, the epigynous ovary starts developing and produces a many-seeded capsule.
The Paphiopedilums (Lady Slippers) have a deep pocket that traps visitors, with just one exit. Passage through this exit leads to pollinia being deposited on the insect.

| | | | | flowering plant: Encyclopedia II - Bladderwort - Distribution and habitat Utricularia can survive almost anywhere where there is fresh water for at least part of the year: only Antarctica and the oceanic islands have no native species. In common with most carnivorous plants, they exploit ecological niches poor in dissolved minerals, where their carnivorous nature gives them a competitive advantage; terrestrial varieties of Utricularia can frequently be found alongside representatives of the carnivorous genera Sarracenia (pitcher plants), Drosera (sundews) and others in very wet areas where continuously m ...

Bladderwort - Physical description of the trap.
Authorities agree that the vacuum-driven bladders of Utricularia are the most sophisticated carnivorous trapping mechanism to be found anywhere in the Kingdom of Plants (6). The bladders are usually shaped similarly to broad beans and are to be found attached to the submerged stolons by slender stalks.
The bladder walls are very thin and transparent, but are sufficiently inflexible to maintain the bladder's shape despite the vacuum creat ...

| | | | | flowering plant: Encyclopedia II - Tree - Classifications A tree is a plant form and trees occur in many different orders and families of plants. Trees thus show a wide variety of growth form, leaf type and shape, bark characteristics, reproductive structures, etc.
The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in vast forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still survive, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form. Later, in the Triassic Period, conifers, ginkgos, cycads and other gymnosperms appeared, and subsequently flowering plants in the Cretaceous Pe ...
