The document describes different types of plant ovary structures based on their locules, ovules, and placentation. An ovary can have multiple locules making it axile, one locule making it basal or apical depending on placental position, many ovules with marginal placentation on the ventral suture, ovules on the peripheral walls making it parietal, or ovules on a central placenta making it free central.
- Ethnobotany is the study of how indigenous communities make use of local plant species, including their traditional knowledge of the surrounding plant diversity and the relationships between societies and the plant world.
- The document provides examples of plant species from the Arabian Peninsula and their traditional medicinal and other uses by local communities, such as using extracts from various plants to treat illnesses, bruises, headaches, and more.
- It also lists some plant species used for non-medicinal purposes, such as construction materials, perfume manufacturing, firewood, and the ecological roles of mangrove species along coastal regions.
This document discusses biodiversity conservation and the IUCN Red List. It explains that upon completing this module, one will understand issues of endemism and extinction, learn about the goal and aims of the IUCN Red List to assess threatened species, know who produces the Red List and what percentage of biodiversity has been assessed. Threats to biodiversity like habitat loss and overexploitation are also outlined, as well as conservation approaches like protected areas and restoration.
A herbarium is a collection of dried plant specimens mounted on archival paper where the plants are pressed, mounted, labeled with their scientific names, collector, and locality. It involves techniques like collection, pressing, drying, poisoning, mounting, stitching, labeling, filing, and depositing plants. A botanical garden is an educational institution for scientific workers and the public that displays a wide range of labeled plants for cultivation and collection.
The document describes the vegetative and floral characters of multiple plant species. It provides details on leaf morphology, root structure, inflorescence type, flower symmetry and structure, and gynoecium characteristics. Across the species described, common traits include adventitious root systems, trimerous or pentamerous flowers, and superior ovaries with axile or basal placentation.

This document discusses various vegetative and floral characters used to identify and classify plants. It describes important vegetative features and different types of inflorescences, flowers, and fruits. It also covers floral diagrams, pollen morphology characteristics including number, position, and character of apertures.

This document provides a key to identifying some families of flora found in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It aims to help with classifying and naming plant species native to KSA by grouping them according to their shared characteristics. The key separates plants into taxonomic families to aid in understanding their biological relationships and evolutionary history.
This document provides definitions and descriptions of various plant anatomical and reproductive structures. It discusses the parts of a flower including the calyx, corolla, gynoecium, and androecium. It then describes the types of fusion and arrangements of these structures. The rest of the document covers topics like pollination types, fruit types, inflorescence types, and characteristics of pollen grains including composition, stratification, and exine sculpture.
This document provides instructions for constructing and using dichotomous keys to identify unknown objects. It explains that dichotomous keys involve successive choices between two statements to identify an object. The document then provides an example dichotomous key to identify five plant genera - Clematis, Anemone, Ranunculus, Aquilegia, and Delphenium - based on characteristics of their fruits, flowers, sepals, and involucres. It concludes by listing best practices for constructing accurate and reliable dichotomous keys and cautions that keys should be checked against descriptions to verify identifications.
Deserts occur between 15-35 degrees north and south latitude where evaporation exceeds rainfall. The soil is usually sandy or rocky with shallow drainage and no subsurface water. Vegetation consists mainly of shrubs and small trees with leaves adapted to retain water. Saudi Arabia covers over 2 million square kilometers of land in the Arabian Peninsula, containing a variety of desert habitats like the Great Nafud in the north with red sands and the Rub al-Khali or Empty Quarter in the south known for its extreme climate.
A.H. Dinawari in the 9th century wrote one of the earliest and most comprehensive works on Arab agriculture and ethnobotany called "Kitab al Nabat". Over subsequent centuries, several Muslim travelers and collectors studied and wrote about Arabian plants, including Istakhri and Idrisi in the 10th-12th centuries. The first serious modern study was by Peter Forsskal in the 18th century who collected plants in Yemen and the Jizan region. Major collections and descriptions were subsequently made by others visiting Arabia through the 19th century. In the early 20th century, E. Blatter compiled these works into the first detailed checklist of Arabian flora. Beginning in the
The document outlines the grading breakdown for a class which includes two exams worth 15% each, a lab final worth 20%, a lab project and presentation worth 10%, and a final exam worth 40%. It then discusses the definition and usage of the term "flora" to describe indigenous plant life in a geographic region or time period. Finally, it lists two scientists' classifications of floral zones - Willis categorized them by climate and latitude while Engler grouped them into five floral kingdoms.
This document outlines the history and development of plant taxonomy and classification systems. It discusses several influential botanists and their contributions, including:
- Theophrastus, who classified plants based on their habits into herbs, subshrubs, shrubs and trees.
- Carl Linnaeus, the "father of taxonomy", who created the modern system of binomial nomenclature in his 1753 work "Species Plantarum" and classified plants based on their reproductive structures.
- George Bentham and Joseph Hooker, who recognized over 97,000 species in their "Genera Plantarum".
- Various modern systems developed in the 20th century, including those proposed by Bessey, Cronquist
