Botany Lab Practical (5) - Introduction to Flower and Inflorescence General Morphology




Delivered on: 30 NOVEMBER 2022


Flowers are introduced as the reproductive part of a plant. They are not only involved in reproduction but are also a source of food for other living organisms. They are a rich source of nectar.


Flowers can either be:


1. Complete

2. Incomplete.


A complete flower is one that consists of sepals, petals, stamens and pistils. On the contrary, an incomplete flower is one that lacks one or more of these structures.


The calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium are four whorls of modified leaves that constitute the flower. The sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils, respectively, constitute one of the flower parts in each of these whorls.


Inflorescence, in a flowering plant, a cluster of flowers on a branch or a system of branches. An inflorescence is categorized on the basis of the arrangement of flowers on a main axis (peduncle) and by the timing of its flowering (determinate and indeterminate).
