Correa alba
Correa alba, commonly known as white correa, is a species of shrub that is endemic to south-eastern Australia.
Crassula ovata
Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade plant, lucky plant, money plant or money tree, is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers that is native to the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, and Mozambique; it is common as a houseplant worldwide.

Cyclic flower
A cyclic flower is a flower type formed out of a series of whorls; sets of identical organs attached around the axis at the same point. Merosity and cyclic flower are plant morphology.

Floral diagram
A floral diagram is a graphic representation of the structure of a flower. Merosity and floral diagram are plant morphology.
See Merosity and Floral diagram
Floral formula
A floral formula is a notation for representing the structure of particular types of flowers. Merosity and floral formula are plant morphology.
See Merosity and Floral formula
Flower
A flower, also known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Angiospermae). Merosity and flower are plant morphology.
Gynoecium
Gynoecium (gynoecia) is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds. Merosity and Gynoecium are plant morphology.
Leaf
A leaf (leaves) is a principal appendage of the stem of a vascular plant, usually borne laterally aboveground and specialized for photosynthesis. Merosity and leaf are plant morphology.
Petal
Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. Merosity and Petal are plant morphology.
Sepal
A sepal is a part of the flower of angiosperms (flowering plants). Merosity and sepal are plant morphology.
Stamen
The stamen (stamina or stamens) is the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower. Merosity and stamen are plant morphology.
Trillium
Trillium (trillium, wakerobin, toadshade, tri flower, birthroot, birthwort, and sometimes "wood lily") is a genus of about fifty flowering plant species in the family Melanthiaceae.
Tulipa clusiana
Tulipa clusiana, the lady tulip, is an Asian species of tulip native to Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and the western Himalayas.
See Merosity and Tulipa clusiana
Whorl (botany)
In botany, a whorl or verticil is a whorled arrangement of leaves, sepals, petals, stamens, or carpels that radiate from a single point and surround or wrap around the stem or stalk. Merosity and whorl (botany) are plant morphology.
