bud or flower?

Plantago major???
Or is it a part of a flower?
The horizontal arrangement, does it mean anything ?

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 5:16 pm

very cold everyone- the stem is green, the brownish top represents the inflorescence

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Mon May 01, 2006 10:53 am

Pinaceae???( Only hot in the open fire???)

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Tue May 02, 2006 8:29 am

cold like in Germany yesterday (with snow!!)

Did You remove any Spata or something similar?
And grows it really horizontal?

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Tue May 02, 2006 4:57 pm

hupps, greenhorn, you are right- sorry, I forgot to note that the stem grows upright (just to save space I moved it horizontally)! No, I did not remove anything, and furthermore, I can add that it is almost in flower.

Unisexual ( female )???

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Wed May 03, 2006 2:05 pm

hermaphroditic

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Wed May 03, 2006 9:09 pm

No spike ( Ähre )??? With that inflorescens I found only Piper,
Plantago, Potamogeton and Poaceae in my old book about systematics. I hope, I`ll get a lesson!

did I say NO SPIKE? I am missing another family in your list

I think that you are sweet and do not know sour!

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Thu May 04, 2006 9:34 am

Ups!!!! When You said : Poaceae no, I forgot the Typhaceae and Cyperaceae too! Now: what`s about Carex? Sometimes ago i saw a pic of C. wahuensis, which looked quite similar.

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Thu May 04, 2006 11:21 am

no Carex

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Fri May 05, 2006 9:49 am

Of course! Carex is unisexual. It will be Cyperus, from the length of the spike could be mallacensis, but that You don`t find in Haslam.

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Fri May 05, 2006 10:15 am

no Cyperus

Is the inflorescence how it looks when fresh, or is it dried?

individual florets looks a bit like Fabaceae (or with keel like structure)

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Fri May 05, 2006 11:43 am

Please, don`t say, it is Scirpus!!! Than You shaved it before taking the photo!

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Fri May 05, 2006 12:19 pm

not Scirpus
(original plant- pic was made in April at a natural habitat of Malta- not shaved, not dried....)- I only moved the pic in a horizontal position instead of upright

btw: no comments from robcar or il-Pine?
Sdravko is not allowed to give a comment

IL-PINE · Post by **IL-PINE** » Fri May 05, 2006 1:59 pm

I haven't the faintest idea

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Fri May 05, 2006 4:53 pm

But You confirm Cyperaceae?!?

robcar · Post by **robcar** » Fri May 05, 2006 10:57 pm

robcar has not got the faintest idea what it could be but is far too busy to spend time trying to look up possible answers in the literature or on the net - but he is still thoroughly enjoying the rest racking their brains trying to arrive somewhere, till now without much success till now

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Mon May 08, 2006 8:03 am

yes, I confirm Cyperaceae

greenhorn · Post by **greenhorn** » Mon May 08, 2006 5:38 pm

No further idea!!! Schoenus is hermaphrodite ( Haslam ), but I never saw it in nature and on the photos it looks more stocky.
There is a Cyperacea "Galilea", might be, this one is a brandnew
Christiana???

jackpot · Post by **jackpot** » Tue May 09, 2006 9:08 am

ok- I better should not spread exasperation in the forum

and explain soon the name of this species, which is also distributed at sites close to Cologne
