Title: Ranunculus
Content: terrestrial plants, often with leaves in a rosette at the base of the stem. In many perennial species runners are sent out that will develop new plants with roots and rosettes at the distanced nodes. The leaves lack stipules, have stems, are palmately veined, entire, more or less deeply incised, or compound, and leaflets or leaf segments may be very fine and linear in aquatic species. The hermaphrodite flowers are single or in a cyme, have usually five (but occasionally as few as three or as many as seven) mostly green sepals and usually five yellow, greenish or white petals

Title: Pterostylis diminuta
Content: Pterostylis diminuta Pterostylis diminuta, commonly known as the small-flowered leafy greenhood, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to Victoria. As with similar greenhoods, the flowering plants differ from those which are not flowering. The non-flowering plants have a rosette of leaves flat on the ground but the flowering plants have up to twelve small, partly green, partly translucent flowers and lack a rosette. "Pterostylis diminuta", is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, herb with an underground tuber. Non-flowering plants have a rosette of between three and six, egg-shaped leaves, each leaf long and wide. Flowering plants lack

Title: Nerine
Content: stems before the leaves develop (hysteranthy), otherwise they appear together with the flowers (synanthy) or afterwards. The bulbs may have a short neck, but this is absent in other species. The leaves are filiform (threadlike) (as in "N. filifolia"; Figure 1D) to linear and flat and strap-shaped (as in "N. humilis"; Figure 2C). Their flowers, which are few, are borne in spherical umbels on a solid leafless stem (scape or peduncle). The stem may be slender or robust, and rarely minutely puberulous (hairy), with two lanceolate (lance shaped) spathe-valves (spathal bracts) surrounding the inflorescence. The pedicels (flower stalks) may be

Title: Caryophyllaceae
Content: the first flower. If the terminal flowers are absent, then this can lead to monochasia, i.e. a monoparous cyme with a single flower on each axis of the inflorescence. In the extreme, this leads to a single flower, such as in "Githago" or "Arenaria". The flowers are regular and mostly with five petals and five sepals, but sometimes with four petals. The sepals may be free from one another or united. The petals may be entire, fringed or deeply cleft. The calyx may be cylindrically inflated, as in "Silene". The stamens number five or 10 (or more rarely four or

Title: Astartea
Content: leaves are narrow, often widest toward the tips, and are smooth-edged. Most species have solitary flowers in the leaf axils. The buds are enfolded in a pair of bracteoles which usually fall away as the flower blooms. Most plants have five-parted flowers. Six-parted flowers may occur, and four parted, late-opening flowers may be produced when a plant is stressed. Layers of petals unfold in an opening bud, leaving the inner ones crinkled. "A. arbuscula" has the smallest petals, each about half a millimetre long. The petals of "A. granitica" are among the largest, each about 6 millimetres long. Each species
