cushiony moss
erect stalks
feathery moss
flattened mats, low-lying
capsule
Capsule ripens, the lid or operculum opens up, releases the spores
protonema
tiny green threads
gemmae
little vegetative buds
Doctrine of Signatures
•      creator has intentionally created plants to look like the parts of the body they could be used to cure!
elaters
long, twisted, moist cells
gemmae cup
where the gemmae are
staminate cones
give off pollen
ovulate cones
open to receive pollen
ovules
develop into seeds
integument
a protective layer of cells
seed coat
integument forms the protective
seeds
instead of spores
megasporangium
part of the ovule in which seeds develop
megaspore mother cell
produces four haploid megaspores by meiosis
megaspore
develop in a megasporangia, from a megaspore mother cell
seed cones
female
pollen cones
male
needles
adaptation to conserve water
coevolution
•               evolutionary change in one organism leads to an evolutionary change in another organism that interacts with it
perennial
lives for more than one year
annual
lives for only one year
flower
reproductive structures that are formed from four sets of modified leaves
sepals
protect floral parts in the bud
petals
attract pollinators
stamen
anthers and filaments
anther
holds four microsporangia
carpel
form the pistil (stigma, style, ovary)
pistil
consists of one or more carpels
foliar theory of the carpel
•               proposed that carpels evolved from leaves
ovary wall (pericarp)
