Botanical University Challengeさんのイラストまとめ

Gymnosperms, #plants with ‘naked’ #seeds, formed exposed on the surface of modified #leaves. What do they look like? Conifer trees with their very obvious #cones and mostly #evergreen needle-like leaves, are the biggest group, but there are others as well. 1/2

#Easterflowers #springflowers Pussy willow (Salix sp. often goat willow Salix caprea in UK). Name is from appearance of unopened male catkins. Used as decoration around Easter time and in churches on Palm Sunday. For real palms see @IPS_PalmSociety

Celery (Apium graveolens), originally in marshes, now on the #dinner table. Stalks, #leaves and hypercotyl all developed into specific #vegetables @John_in_Aber 1/2

This painting recently restored @EnglishHeritage https://t.co/xXiGNMLINg By 16th century Antwerp painter Joachim Beuckelaer (c1535 – 57) or his coworkers. The #fruit and #vegetables are like a #supermarket display. But what is there, and what absent, is interesting. 1/2

Goosegrass is the name of several #plants. One is Galium aparine, that was eaten by geese and fed to goslings. It is a distant relative of #coffee in the Rubiaceae, the Bedstraw family. Grows in much of the world.

#Tomatoes – essential for so many culinary dishes – #pizza, #burgers, #moussaka, #salad … And so many colours and shapes. But what gives them the colours? 1/3
