Basic Flower Anatomy
• The male part is termed the Stamen, which consists of the anther
and filament.
• The female part is the Carpel, which consists of the stigma, style
and ovary.
Flower Structure
Perfect
(bisexual flowers)
Vs.
Imperfect
(unisexual flowers)
Perfect Flowers
• Flowers containing BOTH male (stamen)
and female (carpel)
sexual parts.
• Automatically
monoecious
Imperfect Flowers
• Flowers containing the reproductive parts
of only one sex.
• These imperfect flowers may be on the
same plant (monoecious),
• or on separate plants (dioecious)

The Top Ten reasons for
using scientific names
Understand the meaning of the
names!
Latin Pronunciation
Pronounce every letter except diphthongs
Echinacea, Tradescantia, Opuntia, Ambrosia
“ch” is a “k” sound
Polystichum, Heuchera, Aristolochia
If a word has two syllables, the accent always goes with the next to the last (called the penult);
e.g., Àcer.
If a word has three or more syllables, the accent always goes either with the next to the last
(penult) or the third from the last (called the antepenult).
Synandra hispidula, Onoclea sensibilis, Liriodendron tulipifera
phyllum – rhizophyllum, Podophyllum, triphyllum
ae Pellaea, Arisaema, Chamaecrista
au Daucus carota
Eu Teucrium, Leucanthemum
Oe (phoebe), Platanthera peramoena, Ipomoea
Ui Equisetum
“oi” is not a diphthong!
Pleopeltis polypodioides
Pronounce when ending with “e”
Silene, canadense, sessile, hyemale
Latinized last names (one or two i’s)
Dodecatheon frenchii, Emydoidea blandingii
Most trees have been feminized!
Quercus rubra, Fagus grandifolia, Ulmus americana
Latin Pronunciation
English pronunciation of vowels
A – E – I – O - U
Latin pronunciation of vowels
Ah – Eh – EE – Oh - OO

What do you notice
about the arrangement
of the textbook?
Gymnosperms
Vs.
Angiosperms
• plants that don’t produce a protective fruit
around the seed.
• all the conifers - pines, cedar, tamarack,
yew, and cypress.
Gymnosperms (“naked seed”)
Pinus echinata Taxodium distichum
Larix laricina
• flowering plants where the seed is encased
in a protective fruit.
• This is the dominant group of plants on
Earth today.
Angiosperms (“hidden seeds”)
Angiosperms
Monocot
Vs.
Dicot
One cotyledon in seed
Leaf veins form a parallel pattern
Flower parts in threes and multiples
of three, irregular (nonsymmetrical)
Two cotyledons in seed
Leaf veins form a net pattern
Flower parts in fours or fives
and their multiples
Dichotomous Keys
and
Plant Collections
Dichotomous key demonstration
Dichotomous key demonstration
1.Needle-like or scale-like leaves
1. Leaves broad and flat
2. Leaves simple
2. Leaves compound
3. Leaves opposite or whorled
3. Leaves alternate
4. Leaves not toothed or lobed
4. Leaves toothed or lobed
5. Leaves toothed
5. Leaved lobed
• Reproductive feaures like flowers,
cones, and fruits are less variable
• Tree age
• Time of season
• Flowers available for only a short
time early in the season. Why?
• Leaves easier to use for ID but not
always available
• Twigs available all year but hard for
most to use for ID
Coefficient of Conservatism
The native species most successful in badly
damaged habitats were given C values of 0.
At the other end of the spectrum, species
virtually restricted to natural areas in Illinois
received C values of 10.
(Taft et al. 1997)

If you can’t tell a joke about it,
explain where the name comes
from, or tell story about the plant
then:
