What is the conclusion?
G. Select your favorite flowers and determines the floral formula.
The floral formula is used to describe graphically the morphology of flowering
plants. A floral diagram is a representation of the different floral features of plants as
they appear in cross section.
Symbols are used to represent the different floral parts (CA for calyx, CO for
corolla, A for androecium and G for gynoecium). Numbers of each flower part will follow
the respective symbol. The number will be encircled if the parts are united or fused and
is left open if otherwise. If the ovary is inferior, underline G, put a line above G if the
ovary is superior.
Floral formulas and diagrams have their value in taxonomic identification
because they provide important information about the flower, the main basis of
taxonomic identification as established by Linnaeus.

B. LEAF ADAPTATION
The main function of the leaf is in the processes of photosynthesis and
transpiration. Apart from these functions, leaf is sometimes adapted to
perform other functions.
Examples of leaf adaptations are for:
a)
Support, which could be seen by the presence of tendrils
b)
Catching insects, by having cup-liked shape of hairs sensitive to
touch
c)
Reproduction, by having meristematic cells able to produce new
shoots that will go on to become new individual plants
d)
Food and water storage, especially found in plants living in dry areas
where water is scarce (for example succulent plants, having leaf storing
food and water)
e)
Floatation, for plants living on the water surface, their leaves in
general will have air openings on tissues (used for floating) usually
found on leaf petiole
f)
Protection, by having leaves completely or partially modified as thorns
Instruction:
a)
1. Search for ONE plant species with the following leaf adaptations
2. Give their scientific names…

Flowers are borne on stalks or pedicels in the axils of modified leaves called bracts. As mentioned previously, flowers may occur singly or in a cluster. Examine at least one of the flowering shoots provided and determine the floral arrangement. (Write the answer in #7.) 2. Using a pair of forceps, remove the outer green sepals of a single flower. Record the number. 3. Remove and record the number of petals. (If more than 12, put numerous.) 4. Remove and record the number of stamens. 5. The structure remaining is the pistil. 6. Use a sharp scalpel to cut a horizontal slice from the ovary. Place this on a slide and observe the cut surface with the stereomicroscope. Observe the ovules. Record the number of compartments or carpels in the ovary. 7. Take another of the same flower. Hold it upside down between the first finger and thumb.
