Largest size angiospermic

plant - Ficus bengalensis

(Banyan tree)

01


Ficus bengalensis is the

National Tree of India.

02


The primary roots and its

branches constitute the tap root

system, as seen in the mustard

plant. is called

'Oncology'/Carcinology.

03


Monocotyledonous plants

- Fibrous root system

04


In some plants, like grass, Monsteraand the banyan tree, roots arise

from parts of the plant other than

the radicle (like plumule) and are

called adventitious roots.

05


Arrangement of root zones starting

from root tip :

Root cap – Meristematic zone –

Cell enlargement zone –

Cell maturation zone.

06


Most plant have single root

cap but Pandanus

(screwpine) has multiple

root cap.

07


In hydrophytes root cap is absent.

In hydrophytes (like Pistia, Lemna

and Eichhornia) root pocket is

present instead of root cap.

08


Region of maturation :

From this region some of the epidermal

cells form very fine and delicate,

thread-like structures called root hairs.

These root hairs absorb water and

minerals from the soil.

09

27


Most reduced stem is

called bulb which is found

in onion and garlic.

28


A stem with distinct solid

nodes and hollow

internodes is called culm.

e.g., Bamboo (Bumbusa).

29

shoot apical meristems

30

in Wolffia.

31

are found in

Victoria.

32

Euphorbia stipules are

modified into spines.

34

Pulvinus

35


Phyllode - Australian

acacia and Parkinsonia

36


Leaves of dicotyledonous plants (like

mango) generally possess reticulate

venation, while parallel venation is the

characteristic of most monocotyledons

(like wheat, rice and Canna).

37


Smilax and Dioscorea are monocot

plants having reticulate venation

while Calophyllum and Eryngium are

dicot plants having parallel venation.

38

plants.

46

49


Leaf tendril climbers :

The whole leaf is modified

in tendril.

50

Upper leaflets are modified

into tendril. e.g., Pisum sativum (garden pea).

51

(tendrillar stipule) : Stipule

53


Petiole tendril climbers :

Petiole is modified into

tendril. e.g., Clematis.

54


The arrangement of flowers

on the floral axis is termed

as inflorescence.

55


Floral axis (inflorescence

axis) on which flowers are

attached is called

peduncle.

56


In racemose type of

inflorescences the main axis

continues to grow, the flowers are

borne laterally in an acropetal

succession.
