ARTICLES RELATED TO Plants

Plants: Encyclopedia - Plant

Plants are a major group of living things (about 300,000 species), including familiar organisms such as trees, flowers, herbs, and ferns. Aristotle divided all living things between plants, which generally do not move or have sensory organs, and animals. In Linnaeus' system, these became the Kingdoms Vegetabilia (later Plantae) and Animalia. Since then, it has become clear that the Plantae as originally defined included several unrelated groups, and the fungi and several groups of algae were removed to new kingdoms. However, these are ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Annual plant An annual plant is a plant that usually germinates, flowers and dies in one year. Annuals are often used in gardens to provide splashes of color, as they tend to produce more flowers than perennials. Some perennials and biennials are grown in gardens as annuals for convenience, particularly if they are not considered hardy for the local climate. Also, many food plants are, or are gro ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Woody plant

A woody plant is any vascular plant that has a perennial stem that is above ground and covered by bark, that is, one that supports continued vegetative growth above ground from year to year. A perennial plant with true woody stems contain wood, which is primarily composed of structures of cellulose and lignin which provide support and a vascular system used to move water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves and sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Most woody plants form new layers of woody tissue each year, and so increase their stem diameter from year to year. Woody ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Biennial plant

A Biennial plant is a plant that takes between twelve and twenty-four months to complete its lifecycle. In the first year the plant grows leaves and stems (vegetative structures) and then it enters a period of dormancy over the colder months. The next spring/summer it produces fruit, flowers and seeds, and then dies. Under extreme climatic conditions a biennial plant may 'bolt' through the separate stages of its lifecycle in a very short period of time (eg. 3 or 4 months instead of 2 years). This is quite common in vegetable or ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Aquatic plant

Aquatic plants — also called hydrophytic plants or hydrophytes — are plants that have adapted to living in or on aquatic environments. Because living on or under the water surface requires numerous special adaptations, aquatic plants can only grow in water or permanently saturated soil. Aquatic vascular plants can be ferns or angiosperms (from both monocot and dicot families). Seaweeds are not vascular plants but multicellular marine algae, and therefore not typically included in the category, "aquatic plants." Many fish keepers and aquarium hobbyists keep aquatic plants i ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Bindi plant

Bindi weed (also called bindii or bindi-eye) is a weed plant known for its barbed seeds. It appears with small green feathery leaves, and grows a barbed seedpod and eventually small bright flowers if allowed to develop. Those who are familiar with the plant may also know the term "bindi patch" which can't be walked on barefoot. Bindi weed can be treated with weedkiller, or manually removed. Late winter and early spring are the best times to remove the weed before its seeds germinate. Mowing grass to a higher level ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Vascular plant

The vascular plants are plants in the Kingdom Plantae (also called Viridiplantae) that have specialized tissues for conducting water. Vascular plants include the ferns, clubmosses, horsetails, flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. Scientific names are Tracheophyta and Tracheobionta, but neither is very widely used. Nonvascular plants include both earlier-derived lineages in Plantae (mosses, hornworts, and liverworts) and members of other kingdoms (the various algae). The vascular plants are set apart i ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Flowering plant

Magnoliopsida - Dicots Liliopsida - Monocots The flowering plants (also called angiosperms) are a major group of land plants. They comprise one of the two groups in the seed plants: the flowering plants cover their seeds by including them in a true fruit. They bear the reproductive organs in a structure called a flower; the ovule is enclosed within a carpel, which will lead to a fruit. In the other major group of seed plants, called gymnosperms, the ovule is not enclosed at pollination and the seeds ar ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Companion planting

Companion planting in gardening and agriculture is planting of different crops in close physical proximity. It is a form of polyculture. One traditional practice was planting of corn (maize) and pole beans together. The cornstalk would serve as a trellis for the beans to climb. The inclusion of squash with these two plants completes the Three Sisters technique, pioneered by Native American peoples. Companion planting was widely touted in the 1970s as part of the organic gardening movement. It was encouraged not for pragmatic reasons like trellising, but rather with the idea that differ ...

Plants: Encyclopedia - Carnivorous plant

A carnivorous plant is a plant that derives some or most of its nutrients (but not energy) by trapping and consuming animals, especially insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants usually grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic bogs and rock outcroppings. Charles Darwin wrote the first well-known treatise on carnivorous plants in 1875. Carnivorous plant - Trapping mechanisms. There are five basic trapping mechanisms that have evolved in carnivoro ...
