Petiole (botany)

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

Seed

In botany, a seed is a plant embryo and food reserve enclosed in a protective outer covering called a seed coat (testa).

See Maytenus magellanica and Seed

Stamen

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

See Maytenus magellanica and Stamen

Steppe

In physical geography, a steppe is an ecoregion characterized by grassland plains without closed forests except near rivers and lakes.

See Maytenus magellanica and Steppe

Stigma (botany)

The stigma (stigmas or stigmata) is the receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower.

See Maytenus magellanica and Stigma (botany)

Stipule

In botany, a stipule is an outgrowth typically borne on both sides (sometimes on just one side) of the base of a leafstalk (the petiole).

See Maytenus magellanica and Stipule

Style (botany)

In botany, the style of an angiosperm flower is an organ of variable length that connects the ovary to the stigma.
