THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or modern, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall. The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of insect, birds, and other animals that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

One of the basal angiosperms that occur in the Wet Tropics Bioregion of north Queensland. Seen in the Tinaroo Range.
Fagus sylvatica "Spaethiana" - Spaeth’s purple beech (Dawes Arboretum, Licking County, Ohio, USA)
Spaeth’s purple beech tree is a manmade cultivar (cultivated variety) of European beech, which is native to much of mainland Europe and parts of southern Scandinavia.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Fagales, Fagaceae

Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Eucalyptus is native to Australia and some islands in the far-southwestern Pacific Ocean.

These are compound leaves of a legume plant called the "sensitive plant." It grows in the tropics. The leaflets are acutely sensitive to disturbance and fold up (see upper left) when touched.
Many legumes have compound leaves similar to these, and legume tree species provide mottled shade that provides an excellent contrast to urban architecture.

Acer is a genus of trees or shrubs commonly known as Maple.
Maples are variously classified in a family of their own, the Aceraceae, or together with the Hippocastanaceae included in the family Sapindaceae. Modern classifications, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system, favour inclusion in Sapindaceae. The type species of the genus is Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore Maple).
There are approximately 125 species, most of which are native to Asia,[citation needed], with a number also appearing in Europe, northern Africa, and North America.
The word Acer is derived from a Latin word meaning "sharp", referring to the characteristic points on maple leaves. It was first applied to the genus by the French botanist Joseph Pitton de Tournefort in 1700. A red maple leaf is the prominent feature of the flag of Canada.
Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple)Maples are mostly trees growing to 10-45 meters (30-145 ft) in height. Others are shrubs less than 10 meters tall with a number of small trunks originating at ground level. Most species are deciduous, but a few in southern Asia and the Mediterranean region are evergreen. Most are shade-tolerant when young, and are often late-successional in ecology; many of the root systems are typically dense and fibrous. A few species, notably Acer cappadocicum, frequently produce root sprouts, which can develop into clonal colonies.
Acer circinatum (Vine Maple) leaves showing the palmate veining typical of most speciesMaples are distinguished by opposite leaf arrangement. The leaves in most species are palmate veined and lobed, with 3-9 (rarely to 13) veins each leading to a lobe, one of which is central or apical. A small number of species differ in having palmate compound, pinnate compound, pinnate veined or unlobed leaves. Several species, including Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple), Acer mandshuricum (Manchurian Maple), Acer maximowiczianum (Nikko Maple), and Acer triflorum (Three-flowered Maple), have trifoliate leaves. One species, Acer negundo (Box-elder), has pinnately compound leaves that may be simply trifoliate or may have five, seven, or rarely nine leaflets. A few, such as Acer laevigatum (Nepal Maple) and Acer carpinifolium (Hornbeam Maple), have pinnately-veined simple leaves.
Acer rubrum (Red Maple) flowersThe flowers are regular, pentamerous, and borne in racemes, corymbs, or umbels. They have four or five sepals, four or five petals about 1–6 mm long (absent in some species), four to ten stamens about 6-10 mm long, and two pistils or a pistil with two styles. The ovary is superior and has two carpels, whose wings elongate the flowers, making it easy to tell which flowers are female. Maples flower in late winter or early spring, in most species with or just after the leaves appear, but in some before them.
Acer platanoides (Norway Maple) samarasMaple flowers are green, yellow, orange or red. Though individually small, the effect of an entire tree in flower can be striking in several species. Some maples are an early spring source of pollen and nectar for bees.
The distinctive fruit are called samaras or "maple keys". These seeds, or 'whirlybirds,' occur in distinctive pairs each containing one seed enclosed in a "nutlet" attached to a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue. They are shaped to spin as they fall and to carry the seeds a considerable distance on the wind. Children often call them "helicopters" due to the way that they spin as they fall. Seed maturation is usually in a few weeks to six months after flowering, with seed dispersal shortly after maturity. However, one tree can release hundreds of the seeds at a time. Depending on the species, the seeds can be small and green to orange and big with thicker seed pods. The green seeds are released in pairs, sometimes with the stems still connected. The yellow seeds are released individually and almost always without the stems. Most species require stratification in order to germinate, and some seeds can remain dormant in the soil for several years before germinating.
The genus is subdivided by its morphology into a multitude of sections and subsections
Acer è un genere di piante che appartiene alla famiglia delle Aceraceae, e comprende oltre 200 specie spontanee o originarie dell'Europa, Cina, Giappone e Nord America. Il nome Acer, in latino "appuntito", è stato usato per primo da Joseph Pitton de Tournefort, in riferimento all'estremità appuntita delle foglie tipiche del genere.
Si tratta di alberi e arbusti di altezza da 1 a 30 m; generalmente le foglie decidue hanno 5 lobi, in alcune specie sono in numero maggiore come l'A. circinatum che ne ha 7 o 9, o minore come l'A. monspessulanum che ne ha solo 3. Il frutto è generalmente una coppia di samare.
L'acero cresce in pianura, nelle zone di collina e submontane e nei cedui misti, nelle zone fitoclimatiche del Lauretum, Castanetum e Fagetum (0-1500 metri), in tutto l'emisfero boreale.
Le varietà coltivate come piante ornamentali, per l'elegante portamento e il fogliame variegato e vivamente colorato, nei giardini e nei viali sono l'A. negundo con foglie imparipennate e l'A. japonicum; mentre per la coltivazione in vaso su terrazzi sono da preferire le varietà e gli ibridi a sviluppo limitato dell'A. japonicum e dell'A. palmatum con foglie palmate più o meno profondamente incise dal colore giallo o rosso.
Le specie adatte alla formazione di Bonsai sono l'Acero tridente (A. burgerianum) e l'Acero giapponese (A. palmatum).
Le raccolte di aceri di alcuni giardini botanici e i boschi di aceri sono anche mete del turismo nazionale, in diversi paesi, tra cui gli Stati Uniti e il Giappone, per via delle accattivanti colorazioni del fogliame autunnale. Il termine giapponese momijigari (che letteralmente vuol dire "caccia alle foglie di autunno") indica la tradizione giapponese di recarsi in autunno nelle campagne per ammirare i colori fiammeggianti degli aceri del Giappone.
Altre specie di Acer vengono utilizzate nell'arboricoltura da legno e in silvicoltura per la produzione di legname, comprendendo specie spontanee o esotiche, ricordiamo: l'A. campestre, l'A. monspessulanum, l'A. opalus, l'A. pseudoplatanus, l'A. platanoides.
L'acero è uno dei legni più utilizzati per la costruzione di strumenti musicali. In particolare è molto utilizzato per costruire manici di chitarra elettrica o fasce laterali, fondo e manico per gli strumenti ad arco, nonché strumenti a percussione, in particolare i tamburi.
A. saccharum ed A. nigrum sono coltivati in Canada ed in parti degli Stati Uniti per la produzione dello sciroppo d'acero.
Sei o sette specie sono indigene del territorio italiano, tra cui A. lobelii.

Heptacodium miconioides Rehder in Sargent, 1916 - "seven son flower" (Dawes Arboretum collection, Heath, Ohio, USA)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
The "seven son flower" is a plant that is only native to a few areas of China. The species has been widely cultivated.
Classification: Plantae, Angiospermophyta, Dipsacales, Caprifoliaceae

THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or modern, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall. The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of insect, birds, and other animals that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

Welcome to beautiful Leu Gardens. Explore an amazing 50-acre botanical oasis minutes from downtown Orlando. Each garden is designed specifically to further our mission: inspire visitors to appreciate and understand plants. The Leu House Museum located in the heart of the gardens reveals turn-of-the century living for the families who once called this home. The gardens and historical home were donated to the City of Orlando in 1961 by Mr. Harry P. Leu and his wife, Mary Jane.
The flowering plants (angiosperms), also known as Angiospermae Lindl or Magnoliophyta, are the most diverse group of land plants. Angiosperms are seed-producing plants like the gymnosperms and can be distinguished from the gymnosperms by a series of synapomorphies (derived characteristics). These characteristics include flowers, endosperm within the seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. Etymologically, angiosperm means a plant that produces seeds within an enclosure; they are fruiting plants, although more commonly referred to as flowering plants.

The colorful leaves of Croton provide a dramatic highlight to exterior and interior plantings. Croton requires high light and moist, but not flooded soil. It does not tolerate frost and is susceptible to insect pests, especially in indoor situations that experience low ventilation. It's tempting to use some of the large, colorful leaves for a floral arrangement but beware of the white sap in these leaves, which can irritate the skin and negatively affect the water in an arrangement.
From the venation of these leaves can you tell whether this is a monocot or a dicot?
