Annual plant

An annual plant is a plant that completes its life cycle, from germination to the production of seeds, within one year, and then dies.

Banana

A banana is an edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.

Biennial plant

A biennial plant is a flowering plant that takes two years to complete its biological lifecycle.

Botany

Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology.

New!!: Herbaceous plant and Botany · See more »

Bulb

In botany, a bulb is structurally a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy.

New!!: Herbaceous plant and Bulb · See more »

Carrot

The carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is a root vegetable, usually orange in colour, though purple, black, red, white, and yellow cultivars exist.

Caudex

A caudex (plural: caudices) of a plant is a stem, but the term is also used to mean a rootstock and particularly a basal stem structure from which new growth arises.

New!!: Herbaceous plant and Caudex · See more »

Corm

A corm, bulbo-tuber, or bulbotuber is a short, vertical, swollen underground plant stem that serves as a storage organ used by some plants to survive winter or other adverse conditions such as summer drought and heat (perennation).

Desert

A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and consequently living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life.

Fern

A fern is a member of a group of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.

Forb

A forb (sometimes spelled phorb) is an herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grasses, sedges and rushes).

Forest

A forest is a large area dominated by trees.

Graminoid

In botany and ecology, the term graminoid refers to a herbaceous plant with a grass-like morphology, i.e. elongated culms with long, blade-like leaves.

Habitat

In ecology, a habitat is the type of natural environment in which a particular species of organism lives.

Herb

In general use, herbs are plants with savory or aromatic properties that are used for flavoring and garnishing food, in medicine, or as fragrances.

Herbchronology

Herbchronology is the analysis of annual growth rings (or simply annual rings) in the secondary root xylem of perennial herbaceous plants.
