E- botany, isithelo isakhiwo sokuzala imbewu ezitshalweni eziqhakazayo esakhiwa esibelethweni ngemuva kokuqhakaza. Izithelo yizindlela izitshalo eziqhakazayo (ezaziwa nangokuthi ama-angiosperms ) ezisabalalisa imbewu yazo.Izithelo ezidliwayo ikakhulukazi sekuyisikhathi eside zisakazwa kusetshenziswa ukunyakaza kwabantu nezilwane ebudlelwaneni obusondelene obuyindlela yokusakazeka kwembewu kweqembu elilodwa nokondleka kwelinye; empeleni, abantu nezilwane eziningi sebencike ezithelweni njengomthombo wokudla .Ngenxa yalokho, izithelo zibanga ingxenye enkulu yomkhiqizo wezolimo emhlabeni, kanti ezinye (njenge- aphula nehalananda ) zithole izincazelo eziningi zamasiko nezimpawu. Ekusetshenzisweni kolimi okuvamile, "isithelo" ngokujwayelekile sisho izakhiwo ezihambisana nembewu (noma umkhiqizo) wezitshalo ezivame ukuba mnandi noma zimuncu futhi zidliwe endaweni eluhlaza, njengama- apula, ubhanana, amagilebhisi, ulamula, amawolintshi, kanye nama- strawberry .Lapho lisetshenziswa Botanical, igama elithi "izithelo" ifaka izakhiwo eziningi ezingenziwanga evame ukubizwa ngokuthi "izithelo", ezifana nati, emabhontjisi pods, corn izikhwebu, utamatisi, futhi ukolweni okusanhlamvu. Amagama amaningi olimi ajwayelekile asetshenziselwa izithelo nembewu ahlukile ekuhlukanisweni kwezitshalo. Isibonelo, e-botany, isithelo yi- ovary evuthiwe noma i-carpel equkethe imbewu; isb. i-apula noma ipomegranati - noma utamatisi (bona umdwebo kaVenn).
