A floral diagram is a schematic cross-section through a young flower. [ 1] It may be also defined as “projection of the flower perpendicular to its axis”. [ 3] It usually shows the number of floral parts, [ Note 2] their sizes, relative positions and fusion. Different organs are represented by distinguishable symbols, which may be uniform ...
A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae ). Flowers consist of a combination of vegetative organs – sepals that enclose and protect the developing flower. These petals attract pollinators, and reproductive organs that produce gametophytes, which in ...

The function of placentation is to transfer nutrients, respiratory gases, and water from maternal tissue to a growing embryo, and in some instances to remove waste from the embryo.

Floral morphology. Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces. [ note 1] Fertile leaves or ...
