Ardisia Crenata
''Ardisia crenata'' is a species of flowering plant in the primrose family, Primulaceae, that is native to East Asia. It is known by a variety of names such as Christmas berry, Australian holly, coral ardisia, coral bush, coralberry, coralberry tree, hen's-eyes, and spiceberry. ''A. crenata'' is a compact shrub that reaches , often with a single stem. Leaves are dark green, thick, glossy, and have tightly waved edges The flowers are small, white or reddish, fragrant, and form clusters. The fruit is a glossy, bright red drupe. The seeds are able to germinate under a dense canopy and are dispersed by birds and humans. This invasive species was introduced to the United States in the early twentieth century as an ornamental species. It was observed to have escaped cultivation in 1982. Preparations made from the root of ''Ardisia crenata'' are used as an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. Description Christmas berry is an upright perennial shrub that grows tall. It ...

Inflorescence
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main branch or a complicated arrangement of branches. Morphologically, it is the modified part of the shoot of seed plants where flowers are formed on the axis of a plant. The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis, as well as variations in the proportions, compressions, swellings, adnations, connations and reduction of main and secondary axes. One can also define an inflorescence as the reproductive portion of a plant that bears a cluster of flowers in a specific pattern. The stem holding the whole inflorescence is called a peduncle. The major axis (incorrectly referred to as the main stem) above the peduncle bearing the flowers or secondary branches is called the rachis. The stalk of each flower in the inflorescence is called a pedicel. A flower that is not part of an inflorescence is called a solitary flower and its stalk is al ...

Ardisiaquinone
Ardisiaquinones are a group of closely-related chemical compounds found in plants in the genus ''Ardisia''. The first examples, ardisiaquinones A-C, were isolated in 1968 from ''Ardisia sieboldii''. In 1995, ardisiaquinones D, E, and F were discovered, also from ''Ardisia sieboldii''. In 2001, ardisiaquinones G, H and I were isolated from ''Ardisia teysmanniana''. Chemically, the ardisiaquinones consist of two variably-substituted 1,4-benzoquinone units connected by a long alkyl or alkenyl chain. Research Ardisiaquinones are of research interest because they possess 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor activity and 5-LOX has clinical relevance in inflammation. For example, ardisiaquinone A protects against liver injury in an animal model of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Likewise, ardisiaquinone G has also shown 5-LOX inhibition. Ardisiaquinone A has also been shown to have an antiallergic effect in an animal model. Other ardisiaquinones have shown antiproliferative and antimicro ...

Stamen
The stamen (plural ''stamina'' or ''stamens'') is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Collectively the stamens form the androecium., p. 10 Morphology and terminology A stamen typically consists of a stalk called the filament and an anther which contains ''sporangium, microsporangia''. Most commonly anthers are two-lobed and are attached to the filament either at the base or in the middle area of the anther. The sterile tissue between the lobes is called the connective, an extension of the filament containing conducting strands. It can be seen as an extension on the dorsal side of the anther. A pollen grain develops from a microspore in the microsporangium and contains the male gametophyte. The stamens in a flower are collectively called the androecium. The androecium can consist of as few as one-half stamen (i.e. a single locule) as in ''Canna (plant), Canna'' species or as many as 3,482 stamens which have been counted in the saguaro (''Carnegiea gigantea'' ...
