G. Select your favorite flowers and determines the floral formula.
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.

- B. LEAF ADAPTATION The main function of the leaf is in the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration. Apart from these functions, leaf is sometimes adapted to perform other functions. Examples of leaf adaptations are for: a) Support, which could be seen by the presence of tendrils b) Catching insects, by having cup-liked shape of hairs sensitive to touch c) Reproduction, by having meristematic cells able to produce new shoots that will go on to become new individual plants d) Food and water storage, especially found in plants living in dry areas where water is scarce (for example succulent plants, having leaf storing food and water) e) Floatation, for plants living on the water surface, their leaves in general will have air openings on tissues (used for floating) usually found on leaf petiole f) Protection, by having leaves completely or partially modified as thorns Instruction: a) 1.
