Examine the shoot system of a mature plant (Coleus blumei). Identify the shoot tip, nodes, internodes, leaves, and axillary buds. Each unit of stem that consists of a leaf, axillary bud and internode is referred to as a phytomere. Note that axillary buds always occur above a leaf. Axillary buds give rise to branch shoots. Thus, branching in a shoot system is exogenous (of external origin). How does this compare to branching in a root system?
Describe the arrangement of floral members in relation to their insertion on the thalamus. Calyx, corolla,
androecium, and gynoecium.
Describe the structure of a seed. Include the following: Seed coat, endosperm and embryo.

The floral formula is used to describe graphically the morphology of flowering plants. A floral diagram is a representation of the different floral features of plants as they appear in cross section. Symbols are used to represent the different floral parts (CA for calyx, CO for corolla, A for androecium and G for gynoecium). Numbers of each flower part will follow the respective symbol. The number will be encircled if the parts are united or fused and is left open if otherwise. If the ovary is inferior, underline G, put a line above G if the ovary is superior. Floral formulas and diagrams have their value in taxonomic identification because they provide important information about the flower, the main basis of taxonomic identification as established by Linnaeus. determine the floral formula of the given flowers and Sketch the floral diagrams of each Gladiolus sp.
