Ulmus Minor 'Boissieri'
''Ulmus boissieri'' Grudz., ( fa, نارون برگریز or نارون گلپشهای), a disputed species of elm found in Iran, was identified by Grudzinskaya in 1977. She equated her "new species" with the ''U. campestris'' f. ''microphylla'' collected in 1859 in Kerman Province and described in his ''Flora Orientalis'' (1879) by Boissier, for whom she named it, treating Boissier's specimen as the "type". The tree is endemic the provinces of Kermanshah (Qasr-e Shirin, Bisotun) and Kerman., and also the Zagros forests, growing with ''Quercus brantii, Celtis australis, Platanus orientalis, Fraxinus'' sp., and '' Cerasus mahaleb''.Parsa, A. (1950). ''Flore de l'Iran'', 4. Although two more recent Iranian treatises maintain the original taxon, Richens (1983), in line with Boissier's original ''U. campestris'' identification, sank ''U. boissieri'' as ''Ulmus minor'', along with six other elms considered species by Soviet botanists.

Basal Shoot
Basal shoots, root sprouts, adventitious shoots, and suckers are words for various kinds of shoots that grow from adventitious buds on the base of a tree or shrub, or from adventitious buds on its roots. Shoots that grow from buds on the base of a tree or shrub are called basal shoots; these are distinguished from shoots that grow from adventitious buds on the roots of a tree or shrub, which may be called root sprouts or suckers. A plant that produces root sprouts or runners is described as surculose. Water sprouts produced by adventitious buds may occur on the above-ground stem, branches or both of trees and shrubs. Suckers are shoots arising underground from the roots some distance from the base of a tree or shrub. In botany and ecology In botany, a root sprout or sucker is a severable plant that grows not from a seed but from the meristem of a root at the base of or a certain distance from the original tree or shrub. Root sprouts may emerge a substantial distance from the ba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ulmus Minor 'Rueppellii'
''Ulmus minor'' 'Rueppellii' is a Field Elm cultivar said to have been introduced to Europe from Tashkent by the Späth nursery, Berlin. Noted in 1881 as a 'new elm', it was listed in Späth Catalogue 73, p. 124, 1888–89, and in subsequent catalogues, as ''Ulmus campestris Rueppelli'', and later by Krüssmann as a cultivar. Description 'Rueppellii' was a pyramidal tree with a single stem and numerous ascending branches forming a globose or ovoid crown, much like 'Umbraculifera'. The branches are slightly corky, and the branchlets pubescent, bearing small leaves similar to those of the Cornish Elm, measuring long by wide, the surface likened to that of the wych elm '' U. glabra''. Pests and diseases Most ''U. minor'' cultivars are susceptible to Dutch elm disease, but, if not grafted, can survive through root-sucker regrowth. Specimens planted in Poland suffered from European elm scale. Cultivation No specimens are known to survive. Three specimens supplied by ...

Samara (fruit)
A samara (, ) is a winged achene, a type of fruit in which a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue develops from the ovary wall. A samara is a simple dry fruit, and is indehiscent (not opening along a seam). The shape of a samara enables the wind to carry the seed farther away from the tree than regular seeds would go, and is thus a form of anemochory. In some cases the seed is in the centre of the wing, as in the elms (genus ''Ulmus''), the hoptree (''Ptelea trifoliata''), and the bushwillows (genus ''Combretum''). In other cases the seed is on one side, with the wing extending to the other side, making the seed autorotate as it falls, as in the maples (genus '' Acer'') and ash trees (genus ''Fraxinus''). There are also single-wing samara such as mahogany (genus Swietenia) which have a shape that enables fluttering. Some species that normally produce paired samaras, such as ''Acer pseudoplatanus'', can also produce them in groups of three or four. File:TripleSycamoreS ...

Apetalous
Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract pollinators. All of the petals of a flower are collectively known as the ''corolla''. Petals are usually accompanied by another set of modified leaves called sepals, that collectively form the ''calyx'' and lie just beneath the corolla. The calyx and the corolla together make up the perianth, the non-reproductive portion of a flower. When the petals and sepals of a flower are difficult to distinguish, they are collectively called tepals. Examples of plants in which the term ''tepal'' is appropriate include genera such as ''Aloe'' and ''Tulipa''. Conversely, genera such as ''Rosa'' and '' Phaseolus'' have well-distinguished sepals and petals. When the undifferentiated tepals resemble petals, they are referred to as "petaloid", as in petaloid monocots, orders of monocots with brightly colored tepals. Since they include Liliales, an alternative n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
