- Theophrastus of Lesbos, Aristotle’s successor as head of the Lyceum, improved upon Aristotle’s botany by classifying all monocotyledons as flowering plants with: two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 one seed-leaf in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 4 or 5 one seed-leaf in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6 two seed-leaves in the embryo, parallel leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6 two seed-leaves in the embryo, branching leaf veins, and flower parts in multiples of 3 or 6arrow_forwardWhat is the flower symmetry of plants from Chloranthales? Radial, Asymetrical, Bilateral, Biradial, or Haplomorphic?arrow_forwardMost of the approximately 900 species of gymnosperms are conebearing plants. On the surfaces of their cone scales are ovules, which later become seeds. These ovules are said to be naked because they are not completely enclosed by diploid tissue (as the ovules of angiosperms are). This characteristic gives the gymnosperms their name; gymnos is a Greek word meaning naked, and sperma means seed. Botanists now divide the gymnosperms into four groups: conifers, cycads, ginkgos, and gnetophytes.arrow_forward
