Petal

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

See Roscoea australis and Petal

Plant stem

A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root.

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.

See Roscoea australis and Plate tectonics

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.

Staminode

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

See Roscoea australis and Staminode

Type (biology)

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.
