Gramineae (poaceae).it is the one of the largest plant familyAnand P P
poaceae or true grass is a monocotyledon family.the family consist mainly grasses.different varieties of grasses are present under the categories.one of the most advanced reproductive mechanisms are present in the family.
Characters of Apiaceae:
Stem fistular, leaves alternate, much dissected mostly decompound, sheathing leaf base; inflorescence umbel or compound umbel occasionally simple; flowers epigynous, pentamerous, regular rarely zygomorphic, hermaphrodite; calyx superior, pentafid or 0; corolla five, polypetalous, often inflexed; stamens 5; carpels 2; syncarpous, bicarpellary with 2 pendulous ovules; honey-disc surrounding the stigmas – stylopodium is present; fruit cremocarp; seeds endospermic and oily.
A. Vegetative characters:
Habit:
Plants are mostly herbs which may be annual, biennial or perennial, the herbs may be large (Bupleurum, Heracleum, Agelica) rarely shrubs with aromatic odour due to the presence of oil ducts. Pseudocarum climbs by means of its petioles which are very sensitive to contact.
The Cucurbitaceae, also called cucurbits or the gourd family, are a plant family consisting of about 965 species in around 95 genera, of which the most important to humans are: Cucurbita – squash,
The Fabaceae or Leguminosae, commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family, are a large and economically important family of flowering plants. It includes trees, shrubs, and perennial or annual herbaceous plants, which are easily recognized by their fruit and their compound, stipulate leaves
* The members of this family are mainly distributed in the tropical parts of the world. The plants occur mostly in dry regions.
* Several shrubby species of Capparis occur in the Mediterranean region.

Hawaii is the most isolated archipelago in the world, lying some 4000 km from the nearest land mass. The Pacific ocean is a natural barrier to the colonization of plants from other parts of the world. Fewer than 300 migrant plants had make it to the islands, before the human arrival. Only three native orchids out of 20,000 species have made it to Hawaii and on the cover is one of them, the Hawaiian Star. Isolated from many predators, thorns and other defensive adaptations of indigenous plants, have largely been lost. After the arrival and immigrants from other lands, the Hawaii today reflects the floral landscape form others tropical regions. Many are from Asian and the Americas, with the occasionally from Africa and even fewer from the temperate Europe.
The Fabaceae or Leguminosae, commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family, are a large and economically important family of flowering plants. It includes trees, shrubs, and perennial or annual herbaceous plants, which are easily recognized by their fruit and their compound, stipulate leaves.
Elephant ear plants are plants whose large, thick leaves are shaped like an elephant’s ear. The reason why they are such popular plants to buy is that they are very easy to grow and will bloom for almost half of the year.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Araceae
1.
2. Description
Araceae is a family of monocotyledonous flowering
plants
The family also goes by the name of Arum family and
species in this family are often colloquially known as
aroids
Many plants in this family are thermogenic (heat-
producing).
1. to attract insects (usually beetles) to pollinate the
plant
2. to prevent tissue damage in cold regions

Local Name : The Devil’s Ivy, Silver Vine,
Money Plant, Centipede tongavine and
Solomon Islands' Ivy
11. Malay name : Kelampayang
Besar / Pokok Duit
Size : 1000 cm
commonly known as Pothos
(once classified under the
genus Pothos), Silver Vine,
and Devil's Ivy is an aroid
native to southeastern Asia
(Malaysia, Indonesia) and New
Guinea. It is sometimes
mistakenly called philodendron
at plant stores.
12. Brief Description
It is a liana growing to 20 m tall, with stems up to
4 cm diameter, climbing by means of aerial roots
which hook over tree branches.
Leaves : evergreen, alternate, heart-shaped, entire on
juvenile plants, but irregularly pinnatifid (comb like
arrangement of parts ,arising from one side of an axis)
Flowers : produced in a spathe up to 23 cm long. This
plant produces trailing stems when it climbs up trees
and these take root when they reach the ground and
grow along it. The leaves on these trailing stems grow
up to 10cm long and are the one normally seen is this
plant when it is cultivated as a pot plant.
13. Continue.....
A climbing plant that
climbs with the help of
aerial and clasping roots
The plant can become
large depending on
growing conditions
It can survive in low
light conditions like
florescent lights, and
basements.
14. USES
It is a popular houseplant with numerous cultivars
selected for leaves with white, yellow, or light green
variegation. It is often used in decorative displays in
shopping centres, offices, and other public locations
largely because it is a very hardy plant that requires
little care and is also attractively leafy.
It is also efficient at removing indoor pollutants such
as formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene.
Other names include Centipede tongavine and Devil's
Ivy. It is also popularly known as "money plant" in
certain parts of the world (particularly in India).
15. 5.The red caladium
Originated from the
tropical regions of South
America.
All or parts of the
caladium plant may be
poisonous
Contact with sap may
irritate skin
16. Malay name : Keladi
merah
Scientific name :
Caladium bicolour
Size : 45cm
Other Names : Red
Caladium, elephant ear
17. Uses
Several species are grown as ornamental plants for
their large, arrowhead-shaped leaves marked in
varying patterns in white, pink, and red and have
been in cultivation in Europe since the late 1700s.
The two forms most widely cultivated are called
"fancy-leaved" and "lance-leaved". Most Caladiums
in cultivation grow to about 24 inches (60 cm) high
and 24 inches (60 cm) wide, although dwarf varieties
are now in cultivation
All parts of the plant are poisonous. They should not
be ingested and may irritate sensitive skin.
18. Caladiums are used in shady beds and borders.
They often are planted along the north or east side of
a building or wall. Caladiums are striking in dense
plantings.
They provide warm colour in areas too shady for most
flowers. Use caladiums to provide some colour
amongst lacy ferns and stately gingers. Caladium
leaves will last for several days in fresh flower
arrangements.
19. 6.Giant YamCan grow to be a two
meter giant plant,
common near limestone

Tropical plant grown
primarily as a vegetable
food for its edible
corm, and secondarily
as a leaf vegetable.
It is considered a
staple in oceanic
cultures
It is sometimes loosely
called elephant ear
22. Taro leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals.
They are a good source of thiamine, riboflavin, iron,
phosphorus, and zinc, and a very good source of
vitamin B6, vitamin C, niacin, potassium, copper,
and manganese.
Taro corms are very high in starch, and are a good
source of dietary fiber.

27. The Dumb CaneA large herbaceous plant
that can reach the height of
1 meter.
The sap of the plant is
caustic.
Temperatures below about
5˚C (40˚F) can kill the
plant.
28. The cells of the plant contain needle-
shaped calcium oxalate crystals called
raphides
If a leaf is chewed, these crystals can
cause a temporary burning sensation
and erythema. (may include temporary numbness
of the tongue and vocal cords)

32. Corpse Flower
Amorphophallus Paeoniifolius (Campanulatum)
The family is characterised
by its inflorescence,
consisting of a fleshy spike
of small flowers (spadix)
usually subtended by a
large bract (spathe).
Produces a single
inflorescence followed by a
solitary leaf.
Only blooms when
mature.
Flowers last only about 5
days.
33. The fresh inflorescence
emits a stink odour
reminiscent of rotting flesh
to attract pollinating
The foul odour only last for a
few hours after the flower
opens.
The corms of some varieties
are edible and grown as food
crops in several Asian
countries, especially
Indonesia.
It grows in wild form in the
Philippines, Malaysia,
Indonesia, and other
Southeast Asian countries.

45. A group I intron has recently been shown to have
invaded mitochondrial cox1 genes by horizontal
transfer many times during the broad course of
angiosperm evolution.
To investigate the frequency of acquisition of this
intron within a more closely related group of plants,
they determined its distribution and inferred its
evolutionary history among 14 genera of the monocot
family Araceae.
