Noeggerathia Obovata
''Noeggerathia'' is an extinction, extinct genus of Noeggerathiales, noeggerathialean plant that lived during the Pennsylvanian (geology), Late Carboniferous and Permian#ICS Subdivisions, Early Permian Geologic time scale#Terminology, periods. Description ''Noeggerathia'' could grow to be 3 ft, 3 in tall. It is known for its Leaf#Divisions of the blade, compound leaves, each possessing two rows of leaflet (botany), leaflets which composed a 12-inch frond. ''Noeggerathia'' may also have possessed a short trunk. The genus may have possessed Strobilus, strobili at the ends of its branches for reproductive purposes. Biseriate sporophylls existed on either side of the cones. It has been previously suggested that ''Noeggerathiostrobus'' may have been borne at the end of ''Noeggerathias stems, although it is more likely that ''Noeggerathiostrobus'' was borne closer to the base of ''Noeggerathia''. Taxonomy ''Noeggerathia'' was named after Johann Jakob Nöggerath, a geologist from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plantae
Plants are predominantly Photosynthesis, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the Kingdom (biology), kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyte, Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyte, Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and Fern ally, their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green colo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
