Epiphyte

An epiphyte is a plant or plant-like organism that grows on the surface of another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, water (in marine environments) or from debris accumulating around it.

Molecular phylogenetics

Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.

Ornamental plant

Ornamental plants or garden plants are plants that are primarily grown for their beauty but also for qualities such as scent or how they shape physical space.

Perennial

In botany, a perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years.

Petal

Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers.

Petiole (botany)

In botany, the petiole is the stalk that attaches the leaf blade to the stem.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's lithosphere comprises a number of large tectonic plates, which have been slowly moving since 3–4 billion years ago.

Rhizome

In botany and dendrology, a rhizome is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. Rhizomes are also called creeping rootstalks or just rootstalks. Rhizomes develop from axillary buds and grow horizontally. The rhizome also retains the ability to allow new shoots to grow upwards.

Sepal

A sepal is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants).

Stamen

The stamen (stamina or stamens) is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower.

See Cautleya and Stamen

Staminode

In botany, a staminode is an often rudimentary, sterile or abortive stamen, which means that it does not produce pollen.

World Checklist of Selected Plant Families

The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families (usually abbreviated to WCSP) was an "international collaborative programme that provides the latest peer reviewed and published opinions on the accepted scientific names and synonyms of selected plant families." Maintained by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, it was available online, allowing searches for the names of families, genera and species, as well as the ability to create checklists.

See Cautleya and World Checklist of Selected Plant Families

Zingiberaceae

Zingiberaceae or the ginger family is a family of flowering plants made up of about 50 genera with a total of about 1600 known species of aromatic perennial herbs with creeping horizontal or tuberous rhizomes distributed throughout tropical Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
