Gillia altilis is usually found in freshwater stream environments. Its globose shell is adapted for inhabiting high-velocity lotic environments (rheophile animal), because it allows for a large, muscular foot that can suction to rocks. However, relatives of this species, with the same globose shell and large foot, are well adapted to living on silty substrates because the large foot prevents the snail from sinking. In fact, it is not uncommon for Gillia altilis to inhabit both stagnant waters in lakes and streams and rapidly moving waters.

Tremella species produce hyphae that are typically (but not always) clamped and have haustorial cells from which hyphal filaments seek out and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid, sometimes stalked, and vertically or diagonally septate), giving rise to long, sinuous sterigmata or epibasidia on which the basidiospores are produced. These spores are smooth, globose to ellipsoid, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Conidiophores are often present, producing conidiospores that are similar to yeast cells.

Monterosato (1914) figured the holotype from Calcara's collection and distinguished as separate species the fossil Danilia otaviana (Cantraine, 1835) and the two Recent Danilia tinei and Danilia horrida (Costa, 1861) = costellata (Costa, 1861), followed in this by Palazzi & Villari (2001). The fossil species is quite convincingly distinguished by a globose shape and much finer sculpture in which the spiral elements clearly dominate. The holotype of D. tinei is also globose but has a coarse sculpture with nodose cords, whereas the common form (including that on photographs herein) should go to Danilia costellata if two species are really to be separated. This is a topic that requires further research.

Amanita umbrinolutea is widely distributed in Europe.
|
|
No chlamydospores have been observed in cultures. The spindle spores can develop into adhesive knob in the presence of nematodes. The adhesive knob is a globose adhesive cell locates at the end of non-adhesive stalk which is composed by one to three cells. The adhesive knob contains membrane-bound vesicles which is approximately 0.2-0.5μm.
|
|
It has small triangular crests. It has 2–2.3 cm long stamens, 6 cm long ovary, blue filaments, lavender anthers and white pollen. After the iris has flowered, it produces an globose seed capsule, that is long, and 1.5–1.8 cm wide. They have short beak, taper to a pointed apex and dehisce (split open) laterally.
|
|
Ovaries are ovoid to globose (roughly spherical) and possess a yellow capitate (shaped like a pinhead) stigma and white to greenish style about . The pollen is psilate (relatively smooth), spheroidal, and in diameter. The surface of the pollen includes three colporate apertures, meaning the apertures have a combined colpus (or furrow) and pore. The pollen grains are monad, and do not cluster.
|
|
It has a slender 3–4 mm long pedicel, long Stamens and a cylindric long and 2 mm wide, ovary. After the iris has flowered, between late July and early August (in Russia), or between August and September (in China). It produces an ovoid or sub-globose, long and wide, seed capsule. It has short beak-like appendage on the top.
|
|
The spiral below the suture is a little stronger than the others; frequent inequidistant faint growth periods form the only axial sculpture. The colour of the shell is whitish, the protoconch light violet. The spire is elevated, conic, about 1½ times the height of the aperture. The protoconch consists of 1¾ whorls, smooth, globose, the nucleus flatly convex, slightly lateral.
|
|
The protoconch is a little oblique to the axis, of 1½ smooth whorls, the nucleus globose. The 6 whorls of the spire are convex, attenuated toward the base; the last high and somewhat ventricose. The suture is not deep, undulating, bimarginate. The aperture is slightly oblique, high and narrow, angled above, with a rudimentary broad siphonal canal below, its base truncated.
|
|
The globose to ovoid heads are in diameter (excluding the stamens). On close examination, it is seen that the floret petals are red in their upper part and the filaments are pink to lavender. Pollens are circular with approximately 8 microns diameter. Pollens The fruit consists of clusters of two to eight pods from long each, these being prickly on the margins.
|
|
The protoconch consists of two globose embryonic whorls, of which the first is immersed, but scarcely flattened down on one side. They are rather remotely microscopically regularly striated. The shell contains whorls. They are short, broad, of slow increase, with a rather long sloping shoulder and a sharp carinated angle, below which they are cylindrical, with a very slight contraction to the suture.
|
|
They have a yellow, or whitish beard in the middle of the leaf. They have darker veining. The standards are lanceolate, narrow, with a canaliculate (small channel) on the haft (section of the petal closest to the stem). It has a small perianth tube, cm long, 1.0 cm long filaments, 1–1.5 cm long anthers, and a globose and crenulated (notched) stigma.
|
|
The upper petal is the innermost one, unlike in the Faboideae. Some species, like some in the genus Senna, have asymmetric flowers, with one of the lower petals larger than the opposing one, and the style bent to one side. The calyx, corolla, or stamens can be showy in this group. In the Mimosoideae, the flowers are actinomorphic and arranged in globose inflorescences.

Patouillard described the characteristics of section Amauroderma as follows: "Spores globose or subglobose, devoid of truncated base, warty, woodruff or smooth; crust hat or dull stipe pruinose, rarely shining." In 1920, Torrend promoted Ganoderma sect. Amauroderma to generic status, with Amauroderma auriscalpium as the type. This resulted in an illegitimate homonym, as Murrill's earlier usage of the name has priority.
|

|
These plants have the ability to easily release their leaves in strong winds, a supposed adaption serving to prevent toppling during hurricanes. Inflorescences occur beneath the crownshaft, emerging from a narrow, horn- shaped bract. The flowers on the branched panicles are usually white, unisexual, and contain both sexes. The fruit is an oblong or globose drupe long and deep purple when ripe.

The seed cones are berry-like, globose to bilobed, in diameter, dark blue with a pale blue- white waxy bloom, and contain two seeds (rarely one or three); they are mature in about 18 months and are eaten by wildlife. The pollen cones are long, and shed their pollen in early spring. It is dioecious, producing cones of only one sex on each tree.
|
|
The pollen grains are spheroidal and reticulate (net like pattern), with individual brochi (lumina within reticulations) of 4–5 μm. ; Fruit and seeds The capsule is obovoid to globose, loculicidal and six-angled, sometimes with wings. The seeds are flattened with a marginal wing, the seed coat made out of both integuments, but the testa is thin and the endosperm lacks starch. The embryo is small.

Chaunacops is a genus of lophiiform fish (anglerfish) in the family Chaunacidae. They are characterized as having globose heads, open sensory and lateral line canals, and loose skin covered by small spine-like scales. Colour, which has been noted as an important distinguishing characteristic, has generally been described as pink, reddish orange, or rose (Garman, 1899; Caruso, 1989b). However, recent work by Lundsten et al.

On its underside it possesses a number of very dense fleshy bristles measuring up to 2 cm in length. Other than these distinctive structures, the lid has no appendages. An unbranched spur is inserted near the base of the lid. An upper pitcher The upper pitchers of N. lowii are very distinctive, being globose in the lower part, strongly constricted in the middle, and highly infundibular above.

C.peregrina is referred to as C.sinuosa. Similar species: Leathesia difformis is a similar species: it is yellow brown in colour, fleshy and mucilaginous in texture. It is globose and smooth when young, becoming hollow and convoluted with age and growing to 5 cm in diameter. However, L. difformis is easily distinguished from C. peregrina, because L. difformis readily squashes when pressed between finger and thumb.

Citrus gracilis, the Humpty Doo Lime or Kakadu Lime, is a straggly shrub endemic to eucalypt savannah woodlands of Northern Territory, Australia.Citrus pages, Native Australian Citrus, Citrus gracilis Citrus gracilis is similar to the New Guinea species Citrus wintersii but with much larger fruits. The leaves are small and slender, and the bark is corky. The fruit is globose, lumpy and up to 10 cm in diameter.
|
|
The sepals have a length of 2 to 4 mm and are separate from each other. They are depressed ovate, almost circular or kidney-shaped, dotted and ciliated. The petal is pale mauve to dark pink, the corolla lobe is ovate-elliptical or elongated elliptical, asymmetrical, dotted with small scattered glands. The 8 mm long and 11 mm wide berries are depressed-globose, first pink, then black.
|
|
It is not found in nature and is frequently used by humans. Rhizopus oligosporus strains have a large diameter (up to 43 μm) and irregular spores with widely varying volume, (typically in the range 96–223 mm3). Rhizopus oligosporus has large, subglobose to globose spores, and high proportion irregular spores (>10 %). Rhizopus oligosporus also has spores with nonparallel valleys and ridges, and plateaus that sometimes are granular.
|
|
The size of an adult shell varies between 8 mm and 12 mm. The small, solid shell is globose-conical, sculptured with fine, shallow, revolving alternate grooves and elevations. The yellowish shell is shining and delicately variegated with oblique zigzag dusky lines. The two colors are about in equal proportions with a series of somewhat conspicuous quadrate dusky and yellow spots just below the suture.
|
|
The size of the shell varies between 12 mm and 24 mm. The solid, globose-conoid shell is umbilicate or subimperforate. It resemblies a young Phorcus articulatus. Its color is usually grayish-yellow, yellow or flesh-tinted, more or less obviously marked with obliquely radiating lines or maculations of dull crimson, sometimes broken into tessellations, sometimes faintly, minutely articulated with reddish, appearing nearly unicolored.
|
|
The height of the shell varies between 10 mm and 12 mm, its diameter between 12 mm and 15 mm. The very solid, deeply, narrowly false- umbilicate shell has a globose-conic shape. It is fawn colored, lighter beneath and roseate at the apex. The shell is sharply granose-lirate, usually with every second rib articulated with dots of white or black or both.
|
|
Rhizopus oryzae has variable sporangiosphores. They can be straight or curved, swollen or branched, and the walls can be smooth or slightly rough. The colour of sporangiosphores range from pale brown to brown. Sporangiosphores grow between 210-2500 μm in length and 5-18 μm in diameter. The sporangia in R. oryzae are globose or subglobose, wall spinous and black when mature, 60-180 μm in diameter.
|
|
Fruit bodies are effused, thin and often inconspicuous, smooth, waxy to dry and web- like, whitish to pale grey. Microscopically they have comparatively wide hyphae without clamp connections and basidia that are spherical to cuboid or broadly club-shaped. Basidia bear 2 to 4 sterigmata, which are comparatively large. Basidiospores are globose to cylindrical (elongated and worm-like in the type species), smooth, and colourless.
|
|
The flowers are arranged in unbranched groups of seven or more on a peduncle long, the individual flowers on a pedicel long. The mature buds have are narrow oval, long and wide. The operculum is beaked, and long. The flowers are white and the fruit are woody, more or less spherical to cup-shaped, After flowering it will produce globose to cup-shaped fruit long and wide.
|
|
The photosynthetic component of a lichen is called the photobiont or phycobiont. Sometimes the photobiont is a green algae (chlorophyta), sometimes a blue-green aglae (cyanobacteria, not really an algae), and sometimes both. The layer of tissue containing the cells of the photobiont is called the "photobiontic layer". "Clorococcoid" means a green algae (Chlorophyta) that has single cells that are globose, which is common in lichens.
|
|
The flowers are inconspicuous, solitary or clustered, with no petals. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, though some female plants are parthenogenetic. The fruit is an edible bright yellow or orange globose berry 2.5–4 cm diameter, with the skin and flesh of a uniform colour and containing several small seeds. Production is often copious, weighing down the branches during the summer.
|
|
The pistillate (female) flowers are 5–9mm in length. The shape of the fruit is globose (round), as is the shape of the nuts. Like all species of Butia studied, this species has relatively larger pollen grains than that of other genera of palm present in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. These grains are bilaterally symmetrical, prolate-spheroid, monosulcate, and with the end piriform (pear- shaped).
|
|
The Basidiocarp of Tropicoporus tropicalis is annual, resupinate, and hyaline. The abundant fungal spores are coloured yellowish to ochraceous, and shaped ovoid to broadly ellipsoid and smooth when mature. Both the spores (7 - 9 per mm) and the basidiospores are small, with basidiospores having more than 3.5 um wide when it is ellipsoid, and are less than 3.5 um wide when it is sub-globose.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 11 mm and 19 mm. The fusiform shell has a moderately high spire and a deep suture. The globose and smooth protoconch contains 1 1/2 whorl. The teleoconch shows strong, elevated, and rounded axial varices set quite far apart from each other (about 6 on the body whorl) and flat spiral cords which overrun the varices.
|
|
The ovary is superior, globose, and circumscissile near the middle. They were traditionally classified as members of the primrose family (Primulaceae), but a genetic and morphological study by Källersjö et al. (available online) showed that they belonged to the closely related family Myrsinaceae. In the APG III system, published in 2009, Primulaceae is expanded to include Myrsinaceae, thus Anagallis is back in Primulaceae again.
|
|
Frogfish in this family have laterally compressed, globose bodies, laterally-placed eyes and large, obliquely- slanting mouths. The first dorsal spine is modified into an elongated, slender illicium which is tipped by an esca, a whitish, worm-like lure. Rhycherus filamentosus can grow to a total length of about . The skin is copiously decorated with threads and filaments that resemble fronds of red algae.
|
|
The height of the shell attains 6 mm, its diameter also 6 mm. The small shell has a globose-turbinate shape and is narrowly perforate. It is thin, smooth, shining, marbled and mottled with various shades of olive, brown and pinkish, usually showing dots of white, or spiral lines of white and pink or brown articulated. The conical spire is short and has a minute, acute apex.
|
|
The shell is medium-sized (25–30 mm width), globose in shape with 4 to 5 rapidly expanding whorls. The shell is translucent so that the speckled black mantle shows clearly through the shell of the living animal. The shell is usually thick and strong, but in acidic environments it can be thin and fragile. The body whorl is increasing in size more than those of spire.

|
Sabal causiarum is a fan palm with solitary, very stout stems, which grows up to tall and in diameter. Plants have 20–30 leaves, each with 60–120 leaflets. The inflorescences, which are branched, arching or pendulous, and longer than the leaves, bear globose, black fruit. The fruit are in diameter; fruit size and shape are the main characteristics by which this species differs from Sabal domingensis.
|
|
The structure of the conidiophores are tree-like, a prominent feature of the genus Cladosporium. Unlike other related species, the conidiophores of this species lack swollen nodes at the branching points. Conidia of this species are characteristically globose to ellipsoid with a diameter of 3.4–4.0 μm. The conidia are formed in branching chains in which the youngest conidium is situated at the top.
|
|
The spores are usually 10–14 (–16) by (8–) 9–12 µm broadly oval to sub-globose, smooth yellow to deep reddish-brown with a double wall, truncate base, and apical pore. Older spore measurements have varied considerably. Species from Australian collections appear to be more subglobose than those seen from the United States, raising the possibility that the latter are not the same species.
|
|
The genus Rapistrum has a characteristic fruit comprising two segments: a) The distal (upper division) The part of the fruit farthest away from the point of attachment. The distal is endowed with a ribbed spheroid base (globose) that tapers to form a narrowed projection. It holds a single seed. b) The proximal (lower division) The part of the fruit nearest to the point of attachment.
|
|
A handsome plant growing to about tall, with strap-like leaves and usually only one many-flowered globose umbel borne on an upright scape. The flowers have prominent white stamens projecting beyond the rose-purple slender petals. A wider variety of petal colors can be found in the many cultivars. The cultivars 'Akbulak' and 'Early Emperor' have won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
|
|
The female cones, usually high on the top of the tree, are globose, and vary in size among species from diameter. They contain 80–200 large edible seeds, similar to pine nuts, though larger. The male cones are smaller, long, and narrow to broad cylindrical, broad. The genus is familiar to many people as the genus of the distinctive Chilean pine or monkey-puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana).
|
|
Berberis ilicifolia, sometimes called holly barberry or holly-leaved barberry is a medium to high, spiny shrub belonging to the barberries in the family Berberidaceae. The local name in Chile is Chelia. It has ovate leaves with a few teeth that end in spines, reminiscent of holly leaves. Its orange flowers grow with three to seven together, which later produce globose blue-black berries.
|
|
Rosette and lower pitchers are variable in shape: they are usually wholly ovate or urceolate, but may also be globose. They grow up to 15 cm high by 6 cm wide, but are often considerably smaller. A pair of wings up to 12 mm wide runs down the ventral surface of the pitcher cup. These wings bear filiform fringe elements up to 10 mm long.

|
Parodia is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae, native to the uplands of Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay. This genus has about 50 species, many of which have been transferred from Eriocactus, Notocactus and Wigginsia. They range from small globose plants to tall columnar cacti. All are deeply ribbed and spiny, with single flowers at or near the crown.
|
|
This fungus has a greater number of conidia growth on CYA than MEA. The conidia are smooth-walled and approximately 2.5 μm to 3.0 μm in diameter. These conidia begin in an ellipsoidal shape when young, and later change to a globose or subglobose shape. P. verrucosum possesses conidiophores which are usually two-stage branched (sometimes three-stage branched), giving it a brush-like appearance.
|
|
Mammillaria magnimamma is a perennial globose plant reaching a height of 15–30 cm and a diameter of about 13 cm. At first it grows solitary, but later forms large clumps rising above ground level. Tubercules are four-sided, with latex and the axils have dense white wool. The radial spines are 2 - 5, quite variable and unequal, with dark tips, 15 – 45 mm long.
|
|
Lateral veins form loops well inside blade margin. Inflorescence axis is up to 20 mm long, up to 20-flowered, petal are white. Fruit is an asymmetrical, roughly globose nut, roughly 45 × 39 × 34 mm, rust brown and woody, solitary seed. Flowering while in cultivation has been recorded in August and October, fruiting has been recorded in Queensland in October and in cultivation in May.
|
|
Each of the flowers has a corolla that consists of two outer petals that range in color from yellow to pale yellow and two inner petals that are whiter and membranous. The C. micrantha ssp. australis racemes are normal flowered that often greatly exceeds the leaves. The spurs are not globose at the tip of the flower and have slender fruits that are 15–30 mm. long.
|
|
It has a 2.5 cm long pedicel, 3 cm long perianth tube, 2.5 cm long stamens and bright yellow anthers. After the iris has flowered, in May and June, it produces a fusiform (spindle shaped) seed capsule, which is three angled and has a long beak on the end (almost as long as the capsule). It is long and wide. Inside, are 4-5mm diameter globose (spherical) seeds.
|
|
The colour of the shell is white, only the tip is smooth. The spire is conical, scalar, in consequence of the drooping projecting shoulder at the top of each whorl. The protoconch consists of 3½ embryonic whorls, which are conically globose, smooth, keeled, closely, roundedly ribbed, with a deepish suture, and rise to a minute point (crushed). The whorls number 8½ in all, a little bunchy and disorderly.
|
|
The apex consists of 3½ cylindrically globose rounded whorls separated by a linearly impressed suture. They rise to a flattened top, consisting of fully 1½ whorls, in the midst of which lies the very minute and immersed tip. These whorls are coloured of a deep, rich, translucent, faintly ruddy brown.;The earliest ones, perhaps from rubbing, are glossy, but further on they are crossed by crowded, curved, sharpish, almost microscopic riblets.
|
|
Its conidiogenous hyphae are hyaline, measuring approximately 1–2.5μm wide, often found in fascicles in aerial mycelium. These are reduced to a single denticle that is 0.5–1.0μm long and 1.0–2.0μm wide. Conidia are two-celled, either solitary or distributed side by side in clusters. Its terminal cell is 4.5–5.5 by 4.0–5.5μm, being globose to subglobose, transitioning to a dark brown colour; its conidial walls are slightly thick.
|
|
Female conelets are found singly or in clusters of two or three. The globose cones turn from green to brownish-purple as they mature from October to December. The cones are in diameter and consist of 9 to 15 four-sided scales that break away irregularly after maturity. Each scale can bear two (rarely three) irregular, triangular seeds with thick, horny, warty coats and projecting flanges.Faulkner, Stephen P. 1982.
|
|
The climber tolerates half shade and can develop some globose, orange hips. Recently, it was confirmed by DNA analyses that 'Spray Cécile Brünner' (Howard Rose, 1941) is identical with the plants now grown under the name of the cultivar 'Bloomfield Abundance' (Thomas, 1920) and is a sport of 'Cécile Brünner', not related to the original 'Bloomfield Abundance' which was a hybrid seedling of 'Sylvia' and 'Dorothy Page-Roberts'.
|
|
Its conidiogenous hyphae are hyaline, measuring approximately 1–2μm wide, often found in fascicles in aerial mycelium. These are reduced to a single denticle that is 0.5–1.5μm long and 1.0–3.5μm wide. Conidia are two-celled, either solitary or distributed side by side in clusters. Its terminal cell is 4.5–6.0 by 4.0–5.5μm, being globose to subglobose, transitioning to a dark brown colour; its conidial walls are slightly thick.

Friesodielsia is a genus of flowering plants in the custard apple and soursop family Annonaceae, with all species found in the Old World, mostly in the tropics. A molecular study shows that Friesodielsia should be more narrowly circumscribed, with the only species remaining being the Asian ones, which can also be distinguished by their possession of globose or ellipsoid monocarps, and six petals per flower arranged in two whorls.
|
|
Juvenile plants bear needle- like leaves 4–8 mm long. The cones are irregularly globose to broad pyriform (4–6 mm long and 5–8 mm broad), soft and berry-like, green at first, maturing bluish-purple about 8 months after pollination. They contain one or two (rarely three) seeds. The male cones are 4–6 mm long and begin yellow, turning brown after pollen release in early spring.
|
|
The standards (measuring 4–6 cm) are almost erect. The bracts (measuring 3–5 cm ) are greenish with pink margins, violet blue stigma, and milky white anthers. It has a globose (globe-like) to ovoid shaped seed capsule (measuring 1.2—1.5 cm) in June–August (after the flowering period is over). Once they are ripe, the seed capsules fully open and all the seeds are dispersed in one movement.
|
|
The length of the white shell reaches 2.5 mm. The shell has a depressedly globose shape. It is strongly sculptured, with a rather high scalar spire, exserted whorls, a very sharp and expressed carina, a minute tabulated apex, a strong and impressed suture, a tumid base, and a large pervious but half covered umbilicus. The radiating ribs are pretty strong, sharp, and equal above and below the canal.
|
|
Flower structure for this genus can be described as globose, nonresupinate flowers that are white to yellow, mostly unspotted, and borne on an erect inflorescence. The epichile is rectangular or ovate (not triangular as in Houelltia), and the lateral projections on the hypochile are broad instead of acute. The pollinarium has a broad, concave viscidium. The plants have ovoid, ridged pseudobulbs, each bearing 2-4 large, pleated leaves.
|
|
The tree is high yielding, and was included in many 20th century orchard plantings, though it has a strong tendency to biennial fruiting. The fruit is generally small to medium, globose conical in shape, and red in colour.Annual Report of the Long Ashton Research Station, 1974, p. 148 A typical Somerset 'Jersey' type apple, it is classed as a mild 'bittersweet' under the Long Ashton cider apple classification.
|
|
The eyes occur at the rostrum's midlength, separated by about one half its width. The globose prothorax is widest at the middle and characterized by very few large, deep punctures and erect setae scattered throughout. The elytra have numerous erect setae, and the humeri are non-angulate and fully reduced. In males, the first ventrite has a small cluster of fine seta, but is not raised near the posterior margin.
|
|
The leaves are about 3-7.5 cm long and 2–4 cm wide, with pubescent petioles 2–5 mm long. The hermaphrodite flowers are arranged in inflorescences about 5–6 cm long. The pedicellate flowers are 4–6 mm and greenish-yellow in color.Patagonian Plants, 2009 The fruit is a green, globose drupe with a single seed, 1.5–2 cm in diameter, with a point at the apex.
|
|
The size of the shell varies between 6 mm and 10 mm. The narrowly umbilicate shell has a globose- conic shape with a conic spire and an acute apex. It is pinkish, dark brown, blackish or pink, radiately maculated with white below the sutures, and dotted with white around the center of the base. The 5 to 6 whorls are convex and separated by canaliculate sutures, and spirally granose-lirate.
|
|
They are spirally lirate with granose lirae;, 6 on the penultimate whorl, of which the 1st, 3d, 5th are entirely reddish, the 2d, 4th, 6th composed of alternating white and black granules. The body whorl is globose, bearing 15 or 16 lirae, somewhat convex beneath. The concentric lirae are uniform yellowish-brown, often in pairs, separated by single alternately white and black articulated lirae. The oblique aperture is rhomboid.
|
|
It is a small evergreen tree, 4–12 m (rarely to 20 m) high, with a trunk up to 50 cm diameter. The leaves are scale-like, 2–6 mm long and 0.5 mm broad, arranged in decussate whorls of three on very slender shoots 0.7–1 mm diameter. The cones are globose, 1–2 cm diameter, with six triangular scales, which open at maturity to release the seeds.

Codium mamillosum is a species of seaweed in the Codiaceae family. The medium green globose thallus has a diameter of around that is attached to a tuft of rhizoids. It is found from low tidal areas to a depth of sublittoral zone in moderate water coasts. In Western Australia is found along the coast in the Mid West region extending along the south coast and along the east coast of Victoria.
|
|
In the middle of the falls, there is a row of short hairs called the 'beard', which is white, orange, or yellow, on the yellow forms, but normally bluish, or white tipped with blue. The upright standards, are shorter and wider than the falls. The perianth tube is the same length as the Stigma (botany)#Style branch, about long. The seed capsule contains reddish brown, sub-globose seeds.
|
|
It is an evergreen coniferous tree growing to 20–30 m tall, with a trunk up to 1.5 m diameter. The leaves are claw-like, 7–18 mm long and 3–4 mm broad, arranged spirally on the shoots. The seed cones are globose, 15–30 mm diameter, with 20–30 spirally-arranged scales; they are mature about six months after pollination. The pollen cones are 4–5 mm long.
|
|
Calveriosoma gracile grows to a diameter of about and is scantily covered in short spines. It has a somewhat flattened globose shape resembling a cushion. It is one of a group of echinoderms that instead of having a rigid test consisting of fused calcareous plates, has a flexible leathery skin with loose, wedge-shaped plates embedded in it. This makes the boundaries between the plates easy to observe.
|
|
The fruit matures to a capsule diameter, usually globose, containing one to three seeds (often erroneously called a nut) per capsule. Capsules containing more than one seed result in flatness on one side of the seeds. The point of attachment of the seed in the capsule (hilum) shows as a large circular whitish scar. The capsule epidermis has "spines" (botanically: prickles) in some species, while other capsules are warty or smooth.
|
|
The cones are globose to ovoid, 0.6-1.0 inches (1.5-2.5 cm) in diameter with 16–28 scales, arranged in opposite pairs in four rows, each pair at right angles to the adjacent pair; they mature in about 8–9 months after pollination. Metasequoia has experienced morphological stasis for the past 65 million years: the modern Metasequoia glyptostroboides appears identical to its late Cretaceous ancestors. In LePage et al (2005).
|
|
It is similar to M. heliconiaria and M. semiermis but larger and darker than both. The white triangular mark on the forewing costa penetrates deeper into the wing. The shapes of the uncus and valva are diagnostic: in the female, the anal papillae are more rounded than in either M. heliconiaria or M. semiermis. Unlike the arrangement in M. heliconiaria the corpus bursae is not globose, and the signum is absent.
|
|
The inflorescence is a dense raceme, almost globose, up to 14 mm diameter, on a peduncle about 1 cm long in the axils of most upper leaves. Corolla or petals are white, irregularly five- lobed, and about 5 mm long. The calyx, 4 mm long, also has five narrow, finely barbed lobes. Seeds are ovoid, up to 1 mm long, dark brown to black, obscurely striate, with a conspicuous scar.

Colonies of K. marxianus are cream to brown in colour with the occasional pink pigmentation due to production of the iron chelate pigment, pulcherrimin. When grown on Wickerham's Yeast-Mold (YM) agar, the yeast cells appear globose, ellipsoidal or cylindrical, 2–6 x 3–11 μm in size. In a glucose-yeast extract broth, K. marxianus grows to produce a ring composed of sediment. A thin pellicle may be formed.
|
|
The fruit is a hesperidium, a specialised berry, globose to elongated, long and diameter, with a leathery rind or "peel" called a pericarp. The outermost layer of the pericarp is an "exocarp" called the flavedo, commonly referred to as the zest. The middle layer of the pericarp is the mesocarp, which in citrus fruits consists of the white, spongy "albedo", or "pith". The innermost layer of the pericarp is the endocarp.

Buddleja marrubiifolia is a dioecious multi-branched shrub that is high with greyish to blackish rimose bark. The young branches are terete and tomentose, bearing ovate to rhomboid leaves that are long by wide, membranaceous to subcoriaceous, and densely tomentose on both surfaces. The inflorescence is a terminal globose head which is in diameter, comprising 35 flowers, deep yellow turning orange; the corollas are long. Ploidy: 2n = 38.
|
|
The styles are filiform (threadlike) or clavate (clubshaped), thickened at their tip, being globose to rostellate (beaked). The stigmas are head-like, narrowed or often beaked. The flowers have a superior ovary with one cell, which has three placentae, containing many ovules. After flowering, fruit capsules are produced that are thick walled, with few to many seeds per carpel, and dehisce (split open) by way of three valves.

Mycotypha microspora is a filamentous fungus whose genus name is derived from the cattail-like appearance of its fructifications and tiny spores. It has a dense granular protoplasm and is composed of several hyphae and vacuoles. The structure is highly branched, with mycelium of varying diameters. It consists of two kinds of unispored sporangia: an inner layer containing globose spores and an outer layer with obovoid or cylindrical spores.

At least in North America, Calostoma cinnabarinum is distinctive and easily recognizable. Two other species of Calostoma also occur in the eastern United States. C. lutescens has a thinner gelatinous layer and a predominately yellow middle layer, or mesoperidium, with the red color confined to the peristome. It also possesses a well-defined collar at the base of the spore case, a longer stipe, and globose, pitted spores.

Spintherophyta globosa is a species of leaf beetle found in North America. It is widespread east of the Rocky Mountains, its range spanning from the East Coast west to Colorado and western Texas, and it may also occur in Arizona and Mexico. Its body is globose and colored black to dark brown, while the legs, antennae and mouth-parts are red-orange in color. The species is reported to be polyphagous.

Magnus, in 1901, used characteristics of the resting spore and host plant reaction to distinguish between Physoderma and Urophlyctis. He claimed that resting spores from Physoderma were globose and ellipsoidal, and those from Urophlyctis were flattened on one side. Physoderma species cause discoloration and slight malformation, while Urophlycits cause significant malformation and hypertrophy. Sparrow, in numerous publications, expressed concerns over the characters used to distinguish the two genera.

Echinopsis is a large genus of cacti native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus. One small species, E. chamaecereus, is known as the peanut cactus. The 128 species range from large and treelike types to small globose cacti. The name derives from echinos hedgehog or sea urchin, and opsis appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines.
|
|
The apex consists of 1¼ embryonic whorls, globose, smooth, and somewhat obliquely pressed down on one side at the extreme point. The 7½ whorls are narrow, angulated, with a straight drooping shoulder below the suture, slightly concave between the keels, contracted into the lower suture. The base is conical, and projects on the right side into a long, narrow, and very slightly twisted snout. The suture a fine, sharp, deeply impressed line.
|
|
This species was first formally described in 1976 by Ian Brooker in the journal Nuytsia and given the name Eucalyptus goniantha subsp. semiglobosa. In 1992, Lawrie Johnson and Ken Hill raised the subspecies to species status as E. semiglobosa in the journal Telopea and the change has been accepted at the Australian Plant Census. The specific epithet (semiglobosa) is from the Latin semi- meaning "half" and globosa meaning "globose", referring to the operculum.
|
|
The globose fruit is dull brown to blackish, with flattened fruit scales and a single seed. The rattan grows in semi-dense forests of Cambodia and southern Vietnam. In the Chuŏr Phnum Dâmrei of southwestern Cambodia, they are characterized as growing on the edge of evergreen rainforest, usually as understorey, but becoming lianas when mature. It also occurs as a large liana in the forest around Steung Sangke in the northwest of Cambodia.

|
Echinopsis backebergii is a species of flowering plant in the cactus family Cactaceae, native to eastern Bolivia and southern Peru. It grows to tall and wide, with single or clustered globose stems 4–5 cm thick, with about 15 ribs and covered in grey-brown spines. Large, showy, carmine-red flowers are borne in summer. As the minimum temperature requirement is , in temperate regions it must be grown under glass with heat.
|
|
The flowers are globose, white, pendulous, and 2–3 cm long, and solitary at the tip of a solid, pointed scape. The outer floral tepals are oblanceolate, with shorter inner tepals that are emarginate (notched at the apex) and taper towards their base with green patches apically and basally (see illustrations). The fruit forms a dehiscent capsule that forms three valves. Overall G. elwesii is a more robust plant than G. nivalis.
|
|
The bark is rough and flaky being light brown or gray in colour. Leaves are elliptic to ovate, long and wide, opposite arrangement, entire margins, oil dots are common. Flowers have 5 petals, petals are yellowish white and measure in length, hypanthium is cup shaped and is a greenish brown colour. Fruit are globose, long and wide, colour is red to nearly black, each fruit contains 1 seed, the crushed fruit apparently smells like methanol.
|
|
Claviceps species from tropic and subtropic regions produce macro- and microconidia in their honeydew. Macroconidia differ in shape and size between the species, whereas microconidia are rather uniform, oval to globose (5x3μm). Macroconidia are able to produce secondary conidia. A germ tube emerges from a macroconidium through the surface of a honeydew drop and a secondary conidium of an oval to pearlike shape is formed, to which the contents of the original macroconidium migrates.
|
|
It is a perennial plant with short spreading roots, erect to decumbent stems high, with fine, threadlike, glaucous blue-green leaves long and broad. The flowers are similar to those of the snapdragon, long, pale yellow except for the lower tip which is orange, borne in dense terminal racemes from mid summer to mid autumn. The flowers are mostly visited by bumblebees. The fruit is a globose capsule long and broad, containing numerous small seeds.
|
|
The smaller and shorter standards are paler (than the falls), almost erect (or vertical) and have a notch at the ends. The style branches are the same colour as the standards but narrow and acuminate (end in a sharp point). In June and July (after the flowers have faded), it produces green, globose (spherical) seed capsules. Inside are obovate or occasionally circular, smooth, glabrous (without hair) and brown or dark henne coloured seeds.
|
|
The fruits of Cornus clarnensis are generally globose to ellipsoidal in shape and either biolocular or trilocular. The fruits have an overall length ranging between and a maximum width between . The exterior surface has a series of about ten grooves running longitudinally from the base to the apex. The septum does not possess a central vascular bundle, indicating a placement into the Cornaceae, while the overall fruit shape confirms it is a Cornus species.
|
|
These turn bright red in autumn, and are often accompanied by small globose red fruits. Though hardy down to , like all early-flowering shrubs the flowers can be affected by late frost – which in turn affects the production of fruit. This shrub requires a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade, in soil that stays moist. The cultivars ‘Dawn’, ‘Deben’ and ‘Charles Lamont’ are recipients of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.
|
|
The stigma is globose and red. The fruit is ellipsoidal or ovoid, of length 20 mm, width 10 mm long, and when immature is reddish, and when ripe black. The seed has 4-6 cotyledons. The terminal position of the inflorescences, the robust and fleshy aspect of the peduncles and flowers, the presence of the dilated sub-floral dome, and the greenish color of the flowers are distinctive characteristics of the species.
|
|
This subspecies differs from the typical variety by: stems 4–6 cm wide, lobes usually semicircular; pericarpel and receptacle subterete (tapering at the bottom) in cross-section; pericarpel with subconical (somewhat cone shaped at the bottom) or obtuse, shortly decurrent podaria and with bracteoles subtending ca 6 (0-20) spines to 12 mm long; outer tepals usually inserted within 4–8 cm of tube apex; fruit globose, the podaria shortly decurrent, obtuse.
|
|
In the upper parts of the stem, the leaves are often reduced to nothing more than petioles which form sheaths around the stem. Like other members of the genus, the inflorescence of Thapsia villosa is a compound subhemispherical to globose umbel. It has 9 to 29 spokes and is about in diameter. Bracts are usually absent, though in rare cases, one to three may be present, each around in length and lanceolate in shape.
|
|
Grevillea globosa is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia, occurring in the northern wheatbelt. It usually grows to between 1 and 3 metres in height The globose flowerheads appear between mainly between September and January and also sporadically throughout the year in the species' native range . The species was first formally described by Charles Austin Gardner in 1964 in the Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia.
|
|
The usually bisexual flowers have a united calyx with 5-10 lobes (rarely more), while the corolla is similarly united but with 4-6 lobes. The corolla is a pretty, bright yellow (except for M. spinescens, whose corollas are white), and is often scented. The fruit is a didymous, bilobed capsule with each globose locule or lobe containing 2-4 seeds. In the majority of species, each locule also features circumscissile dehiscence.
|
|
A thick white down covers both the stems and the small oval, slightly saw-toothed alternate leaves. The globose flower heads, with their short peduncles, are composed of an envelope of white-wooly scales around tubular yellow flowers that are visible from June through to September.Altervista Flora Italiana, Santolina delle spiagge, Achillea maritima (L.) Ehrend. & Y. P. Guo The generic name is derived from the Greek words otos (ear) and anthos (flower).

Dichotomously branched sporangiophores of Syzygites megalocarpus viewed at 100x Syzygites megalocarpus sporagiospores at the tip of a sporangiophore viewed at 400x Syzygites megalocarpus produces phototropic, repeatedly dichotomously branched sporangiophores that terminate in globose, apophysate sporangia. Sporangiospores have a spinose wall, which is rare in Mucorales. Zygospores are pigmented, ornamented, and produced on equally sized suspendors. Due to the presence of carotenoids, the myceliuem can appear yellowish, though mature sporangia darken giving it a brownish appearance.
|
|
Some other reports state they are wider, darker and thicker cells. The conidiophores will become the conidiogenous (promotes conidiogenesis) cells that are 7-9 µm in diameter, monoblastic (single or single-celled) or polyblastic (multiple celled). The conidiophores are globose or ellipsoidal (football shape), smooth and slightly bumpy at the fertile end. In culture, colonies can cover an entire Petri dish of suitable growth medium after 2 weeks of incubation at 25 °C.
|
|
The flowers present as globose heads with small green petals and calyx with up to a 100 stamens more or less united into a tube. The stamens are long, hairlike, colourful and protrude well beyond the petals. C. surinamensis flowers all year round with definite more prolific periods. The flowers are short lived and sticky and combined with their quantity give this plant a reputation for making a mess especially on vehicles parked under it.

|
O. donaldeedodii flowers are campanulate, bright red to red- orange, from long, similar to its close relative in color and form. It is distinguished from O. coccineum by its shorter apical leaves, globose pseudobulbs, and longer sepals. O. donaldeedodii was collected in Pic Macaya National Park in the Massif de la Hotte range in south-western Haiti. The plant was part of Dod's personal collection until he donated it to the UC Botanical Garden.
|
|
The cones are globose to oval, 1–3 cm diameter, with 15-35 scales, each scale with 3-6 seeds; they are mature in 7–9 months after pollination, when they open to release the seeds. The male (pollen) cones are small, and shed their pollen in early spring. They are very susceptible to bush fires, and have declined markedly in abundance due to accidental and deliberate fires since the European colonisation of Tasmania.
|
|
The caps of Mycena interrupta range from 0.8 to 2 cm, and they are a brilliant cyan blue colour. They are globose when emergent and then become a broad convex as they mature, with the centre of the cap slightly depressed. The caps are often sticky and appear slimy looking, particularly in moist weather. The length of the stipe typically ranges from 1 to 2 cm long and 0.1 to 0.2 cm thick.
|
|
The wind-pollinated flowers are produced in dense globose inflorescences 4–5 cm diameter, and give off a pleasant scent. Like all Leucadendrons, this tree is dioecious, with separate male and female plants. The fruit is a heavy woody cone, containing numerous seeds; each seed is a small nut with a silky-haired helicopter-like parachute, enabling it to disperse by wind. After germination it pushes up two green, bare and leathery cotyledons.

Codium pomoides is a species of seaweed in the Codiaceae family. The firm dark green thallus and has a globose habit and is usually around across. It is found at the low tide up to in depth along rough to moderate water coasts. In Western Australia is found along the coast in the Goldfields-Esperance region around the Recherche Archipelago extending along the south coast as far as Victoria and the north coast of Tasmania.
|
|
At the more or less horizontal to sometimes hanging branches, the branches are four to seven in regular whorls. The young leaves are soft and awl-shaped, long, about thick at the base on young trees, and incurved, long and variably broad on older trees. The thickest, scale-like leaves on coning branches are in the upper crown. The cones are squat globose, long and diameter, and take about 18 months to mature.
|
|
The leaves are pinnately compound, 5–9 cm long, with 5–9 rounded to oval leaflets with a serrated margin, and numerous glandular hairs. The flowers are 1.8–3 cm diameter, the five petals being pink with a white base, and the numerous stamens yellow; the flowers are produced in clusters of 2–7 together, from late spring to mid summer. The fruit is a globose to oblong red hip 1–2 cm diameter.

Claytonia tuberosa, commonly known as Beringian springbeauty, is a species of flowering plant in the family Montiaceae. It is a perennial herb indigenous to Alaska, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, and the Yukon of North America, westward to East Asia–Siberia. The perennial grows from a globose tuberous root to a height of and bears several hermaphrodite white flowers on stems bearing a single pair of petiolate cauline leaves. Probably its closest relative is Claytonia virginica.
|
|
An upper pitcher of N. rigidifolia Nepenthes spectabilis is thought to be most closely related to N. lavicola. It can be distinguished from that species on the basis of its smaller floral bracts, longer fruits, and very long unbranched spur. In addition, the species differ in the shape of their lower pitchers. Those of N. lavicola are urceolate to globose, while those of N. spectabilis are ovoid in the lower part and cylindrical above.
|
|
The flowers are coloured yellow. The staminate (male) flowers are 5-7mm in length; the pistillate (female) flowers are 4–5mm in length. The shape of the fruit is ellipsoid (like an elongated acorn with a small cap/base, or a rugby ball with one end flat); but shape of the nut is globose (round). The fruit are 1.5-2cm long by 1-2cm wide, generally a bit longer than wide, with a juicy flesh.
|
|
The cones are globose, 1–2 cm long, with four scales. Each tree produces both male and female cones. It is unique in the genus in its ability to coppice, readily re-sprouting from burnt or cut stumps; this enables it to survive wildfires, and is considered a major factor in allowing its abundance relative to the other species in the genus. Its wood is highly flammable - another adaptation for its fire-prone environment.
|
|
The species in this genus have small to moderate-sized, solid fusiform shells with a low, globose spire. The siphonal canal is rather short, curved to the left, fused at the top and almost sealed below. They have six to seven well-developed varices per whorl, with deep hollows at the sutures. These varices extend from the shoulder margin to the tip of the siphonal canal and become twisted at the base of the shell.

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 39(2): 321-324. Under the microscope, it can be identified by its immersed, pyriform perithecia (pear-shaped, spore-containing structures), which have a brown exterior wall. The ascospores within the perithecia are ellipsoid in shape, with a smooth exterior and granular cytoplasm. The anamorph (asexual stage) of B. ribis is Fusicoccum ribis, and although less abundant, it is characterized by globose pycnidia containing smooth, hyaline macro- and microconidia.
|
|
The size of the subfusiform shell varies between 14 mm and 25 mm. The shell surface is chalky white, crossed by horizontal purple to black streaks on the seven rounded axial ribs, that are twisted and swollen at the base of the body whorl. There are also eight or nine spiral riblets. The low spire is globose and consists of two and a half whorls, sitting op top of four body whorls.
|
|
The small, globose-conoidal shell measures 7½ mm. It is narrowly perforate, shining, solid, smooth, except for a few stride around the white umbilicus. Its color is pink, orange, purplish or olive-brown, generally with a series of white blotches alternating with self-colored darker ones below the sutures, a girdle of white blotches around the periphery and often around the umbilicus. The intervening spaces are irregularly strigate with darker zigzag streaks or unicolored.

|
C. thyoides is monoecious, so a single tree will carry both the pollen and seeds needed for reproduction in cones. The seed cones are globose, diameter, with 6-10 scales (1-2 seeds per scale), green or purple, maturing to brown in 5–7 months after pollination. The pollen cones are yellow but turn brown as the tree matures, long and broad, releasing their yellow pollen once a year in spring.Rushforth, K. (1987). Conifers.
|
|
The flowers are white to pale cream coloured, about 5–6 cm diameter. The fruit is globose, 2–3 cm diameter, yellowish-orange to red when ripe, and has numerous black seeds embedded in the pulp; the fruit are eaten and the seeds dispersed by birds. Passiflora foetida is able to trap insects on its bracts, which exude a sticky substance that also contains digestive enzymes. This minimizes predation on young flowers and fruits.

Axons first cross midline in the spinal cord and run in the ventral border of the lateral funiculi. These axons ascend to the pons where they join the superior cerebellar peduncle to enter the cerebellum. Once in the deep white matter of the cerebellum, the axons recross the midline, give off collaterals to the globose and emboliform nuclei, and terminate in the cortex of the anterior lobe and vermis of the posterior lobe.
|
|
From Sep. to May flowering occurs in axillary or terminal clusters, long, of 6–10 flowers; each flower has white or cream perianth parts long, fragrant and insect pollinated. The fruits have a globose or ovoid shape, green to yellowish or brown, long x wide and ripen from Aug.–May. Each seed is contained in a hard woody brown endocarp with several longitudinal ribs on its inside corresponding to longitudinal intrusions in the seed surface.
|
|
The trunk is solitary and acaulescent or barely emergent, producing 1.5 m leaves, pinnately cleft, with a gentle arch. The leaves are carried on short petioles, the leaflets grow to 30 cm, elliptical, and colored emerald green, and are widely and regularly arranged along the rachis. The inflorescence is a solitary, interfoliar spike with a long, slender peduncle, carrying male and female flowers. The fruit is ellipsoidal, black when ripe, with one globose seed.

The life- history and galls of a spruce gall midge, Phytophaga piceae Felt (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). Can. Entomol. 84:272–275. As many as 100 larvae per shoot have been reported. Larvae bore immediately into the twig and form cells, the galls forming by the swelling of tissues surrounding the larval cells. Gall formation becomes noticeable within 10 days as a series of small, semi-globose swellings, which render the infected twig twice its normal diameter.

Unlike the true dragonflies, the Odonata, they had no pterostigma, and a somewhat simpler pattern of veins in the wings. Most specimens are known from wing fragments only; with only a few as complete wings, and even fewer (of the family Meganeuridae) with body impressions. These show a globose head with large dentate mandibles, strong spiny legs, a large thorax, and long and slender dragonfly-like abdomen. Like true dragonflies, they were presumably predators.

Xiphydria camelus The Xiphydriidae are a family of wood wasps with the distinct characteristic of having globose heads borne on their long, skinny "necks"; they are also unusual in the habit of boring into dead wood, rather than living trees. The family is small and ancient, with only around 140 living species in several genera, largely restricted to the Northern Hemisphere (with a few Neotropical species), and a number of fossil taxa.
|
|
Bulbs are globose-ovoid, 1.5–2 cm long and 1–3 cm wide. Leaves 2-3, linear, narrowed at the base, with pointed tips, 12–15 cm long. The inflorescence is racemose, the petals 10-15 over a 1–2 cm brush, dark purple, with a perianth 0.5-0.6 cm long and 0.2-0.3 cm wide, anthers 0.6–1 mm, yellow. Bellevalia paradoxa blooms in late April, blooming for up to 25 days.

Buddleja mendozensis is a dioecious shrub 0.2 - 2 m high with greyish bark. The young branches are subterete and tomentose, bearing leaves of very variable shape 0.5 - 8 cm long by 0.2 - 2 cm wide, membranaceous to subcoriaceous, glabrescent to tomentose above, and densely tomentose below. The yellow to orange inflorescence comprises 2 - 5 pairs of small globose heads in the axils of the terminal leaves; the corollas 3.5 - 4.5 mm long. Ploidy: 2n = 38.
|
|
The dense flower clusters are subdigitate with a hemispherical to globose shape and a diameter of around . There are one to three leaf-like involucral bracts. There are many flattened spikelets per cluster that have a length of and a width of containing 8 to 34 golden brown to red-brown flowers. After flowering a trigonous very narrow-ellipsoidally shaped red-brown to grey-brown nut forms that has a length of and a diameter.
|
|
The interposed nucleus is part of the deep cerebellar complex and is composed of the globose nucleus and the emboliform nucleus. It is located in the roof (dorsal aspect) of the fourth ventricle, lateral to the fastigial nucleus. It receives its afferent supply from the anterior lobe of the cerebellum and sends output via the superior cerebellar peduncle to the red nucleus. The interposed nucleus is located in the paravermis of the cerebellum.
|
|
Tree is moderately vigorous, standard type, produces spurs freely, precocious in cropping, highly productive, fruits do not fall prematurely, good pollinator with mid-season blossoming, resistant to scab and tolerant to powdery mildew. Fruits are medium to large, globose conical, medium stem length. Yellow under-color is covered on almost the entire skin surface with an attractive bright red over- color. There is some russeting in stem cavity which occasionally may extend out over base.

Conifer Specialist Group 2000. Athrotaxis laxifolia It is an evergreen coniferous tree growing to 10–20 m tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter. The leaves are scale-like, 4–12 mm long and 2–3 mm broad, arranged spirally on the shoots. The seed cones are oblong-globose, 15–26 mm long and 14–20 mm diameter, with 14–18 spirally-arranged scales; they are mature about six months after pollination.
|
|
Prunus ursina is a deciduous shrub to a small tree, reaching 4 to 8 meters in height; it is highly branched and the branches sometimes bear spines. The twigs are velvety and the leaves are ovate to oblong. Prunus ursina produces white hermaphrodite flowers in pairs during the spring. Its 2-to-3 cm unpalatable fruit is globose and turns yellow to dark orange when ripe but may be toxic if consumed excessively.
|
|
The style is short with an enlarged base and purple to white in color. The capsule, which is a kind of dry fruit produced by many flowering plants, is globose and sometimes tuberculate. The plant was found to reproduce mainly by vegetative propagation in the field. It has been observed that Paris polyphylla seeds produce primary root about seven months after sowing and then leaves about four months later in the second year.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 6.3 mm. (Original description) This flesh-tinted orange species is easily recognized by the varicose lip, sloping off to a sharp edge; by the deeply cut posterior notch, giving the smooth aperture a hooked appearance and with an intense color in its interior; by the sharp ridges, traversed by distant spiral threads. The protoconch contains two smooth, globose whorls. The subsequent six whorls are moderately long, subangulate and with impressed suture.
|
|
The emboliform nucleus (or anterior interposed nucleus) is a deep cerebellar nucleus that lies immediately to the medial side of the nucleus dentatus, and partly covering its hilum. It is one among the four pairs of deep cerebellar nuclei, which are from lateral to medial: the dentate, interposed (which consists of the emboliform and globose), and fastigial nuclei. These nuclei can be seen using Weigert's elastic stain. Emboliform, from Ancient Greek, means "shaped like a plug or wedge".
|
|
The central spine is up to 2 inches long, while the 7 to 8 radial spines are 1.2 to 2 inches long. When the plant has reached a certain age it shows at the growing tip a cephalium (hence the common name of "Turk's Cap"), a globose structure covered with reddish-brown bristles. This structure, where the flower buds will form, reaches a height of up to and a diameter of . The flowers are carmine, about 2 inches long.

Pueraria tuberosa, commonly known as kudzu, Indian kudzu, or Nepalese kudzu, Vidarikand,Vidarikand (Pueraria tuberosa) Benefits, Uses and Side effects Sanskrit: Bhukushmandi (भूकुशमंडी)Indian Kudzu is a climber with woody tuberculated stem. It is a climbing, coiling and trailing vine with large tuberous roots. The tubers are globose or pot-like, about across and the insides are white, starchy and mildly sweet. Leaves are trifoliate and alternate, while the leaflets are egg-shaped, with round base and unequal sides.
|
|
There is a prominent, thick, sloping scar left after the operculum is shed and the valves extend beyond the rim of the fruit. Prior to flowering, this eucalypt forms ornamental globose buds. The branches of the main stem are twisting and spreading and the lignotuber is large, allowing regeneration after fire. New branches may emerge from the bole without response to fire, and these intertwine with the older trunk to produce a tangled and irregular appearance as mature trees.
|
|
Like living Metasequoia, M. occidentalis was deciduous. The foliage consists of branchlets with oppositely arranged leaves. The leaves are ovate to linear in shape, ranging from 6–25 mm in length and 1–2 mm in width, with a distinct midvein, a petiolate base, and an acute tip. The seed-bearing cones are globose to ovoid, 11–40 mm long and 6–34 mm wide, with decussately arranged triangular scales, and are borne on long, leafless stalks.
|
|
It has a 6–10 mm long pedicel, 2.5–3.5 cm long perianth tube, white, 1 cm long stamens and green, cylindrical, 4–5 mm long ovary. It has 1.8 cm long and 4 mm wide style branch, which are the same colour as the petals. After the iris has flowered, between May and July, it produces a globose (spherical), seed capsule, about 1.2–1.5 cm in diameter. The top of the capsule has a short beak.
|
|
This genus is provisionally included in the family Clavatulidae as the characters of the shell and the radula of this genus resemble more the characters of this family than those of the family Horaiclavidae. However, it differs from the other genera in this family by its weak columellar pleats and the multispiral protoconch in the Recent specie. However the extinct species type has a paucispiral, globose and almost smooth protoconch. This must then be considered an apomorphic character state.
|
|
They consist of woody imbricate (overlapping) scales that are roughly triangular in shape, and are borne terminally on short twigs with scale-like leaves. The seeds are up to 13 mm long and 7 mm wide, winged and triangular to hatchet-shaped. The pollen-bearing cones are small and globose, up to 3 mm long and 3 mm wide. They consist of acute-tipped, incurved, imbricate scales and are borne on short, alternately arranged twigs with scale-like leaves.
|
|
The flowers are white, with petals about 2 cm long. The fruit is a winged nut; with a 5mm stalk and a globose nut surmounted by a ring of the scruffy tomentose remnants of the style, which is itself connected to the calyx. The calyx has two enlarged wings sized 4.5 x 1 cm and three, sometimes less, 1.3 cm, oblong, blunt or pointed lobes. On occasion a lobe or two may grow into a smaller 2.5 cm wing.
|
|
The seeds are globose, in diameter, the wing long. The seeds fall from the tree in autumn, where they must be exposed to 45 days of temperatures below to break their coating down. Germination of A. saccharum is slow, not taking place until the following spring when the soil has warmed and all frost danger is past. It is closely related to the black maple, which is sometimes included in this species, but sometimes separated as Acer nigrum.

Buddleja globosa is a large shrub to tall, with grey fissured bark. The young branches are subquadrangular and tomentose, bearing sessile or subsessile lanceolate or elliptic leaves 5-15 cm long by 2-6 cm wide, glabrescent and bullate above and tomentose below. The deep-yellow to orange leafy-bracted inflorescences comprise one terminal and < 7 pairs of pedunculate globose heads, 1.2-2.8 cm in diameter, each with 30-50 flowers, heavily honey-scented. Ploidy: 2n = 38 (diploid).
|
|
The sepals 1.4–2.8 mm long and the corolla tube is 2.5–3.5 mm long with lobes 1–1.8 mm long. The plant flowers from July to September. The ovary has 4-5 compartments and the creamy green fruits are depressed-globose, with a flat top, are about 2.5–3 mm diameter, and are covered in short white hairs, creamy-green. It is found in dry sclerophyll forest or in scrub on sandstone or granite slopes.

Rhamnus cathartica is a deciduous, dioecious shrub or small tree growing up to tall, with grey-brown bark and often spiny branches. The leaves are elliptic to oval, long and broad; they are green, turning yellow in autumn, and are arranged somewhat variably in opposite to subopposite pairs or alternately. The flowers are yellowish-green, with four petals; they are dioecious and insect pollinated. The fruit is a globose black drupe, across, and contains two to four seeds.

The epichile is triangular and the hypochile bears a pair of curved, acute projections; the lip shares many features of the lip of Paphinia. The viscidium is narrow, approximately the same width of the long stipe, and the pollinaria are deposited on the bee's scutellum. In contrast, the group containing H. sanderi, H. wallisii, H. clarae (Schltr.), and H. lowiana (Rchb.f). has globose, nonresupinate flowers that are white to yellow, mostly unspotted, and borne on an erect inflorescence.
|
|
The leaves are opposite, elliptical or obovate, up to 16 cm long and 10 cm broad, with an entire margin and an emarginate (notched) apex. The flowers are small, pale whitish-yellow, fragrant, with a four-lobed corolla. The fruit is a globose to turbinate drupe 2–3 cm diameter, apiculate, bright yellow ripening dark purple, drying hard, dark brown, slightly rough with a single pyriform, dark russet seed, 10–12 mm long. The cotyledons are unequal.

Members of Heterometrus are generally large-sized scorpions (100–200 mm total length). Coloration is dark in most species, often uniformly brown or black, sometimes with a greenish shine, with brighter-colored telson, walking legs, and/or pedipalp pincers in some species. The scorpions are heavily built with especially powerful and globose pedipalp pionkes, broad mesosomal tergites and a proportionally slender and thin metasoma. The telson is proportionally small and the stinger is often shorter than the vesicle.

The order Tremellales was created by Carleton Rea in 1922 for species in which the basidia were "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid with vertical or diagonal septa). Rea placed within it one family, the Tremellaceae, having the same characteristics as the order. This circumscription was generally accepted until the 1980s. In 1945, however, G.W. Martin proposed a substantial extension of the order to include all the species within the (now obsolete) class Heterobasidiomycetes except for the rusts and the smuts.

This plant is a medium-sized, hermaphrodite fan palm, which grows up to in height, with a trunk diameter at breast height. The trunk has narrow leaf scars, and a narrow amount of space between each successive one, although this is usually obscured by the petiole stubs, which remain persistent, not falling off, for most of the length. The crown of the palm is globose (round), and it contains some 30 to 40 leaves. The leaves are costapalmate.
|
|
The shell is of moderate size, very solid, globose-oval, and smooth except for weak shallowly incised spiral lines. The external shell colour is black, but the aperture is white, except for a narrow black border. Once shells get over about 26mm they start to wear down and typically have knotched sides and a white wear on the right hand side of the shell. The operculum is granular, pinkish-lilac, with two spiral bands of black.
|
|
They have 4 to 8 spored asci that are cylindrical to club-shaped. Their ascospores are typically ellipsoid to globose in shape, colorless and thin-walled. They often contain β-orcinol depsidones (secondary metabolites of lichens) such as norstictic acid and stictic acids; others have fatty acids or triterpenes. In genus Aspicilia dramatic changes in growth forms are very common, and some taxa may display extreme transitions within the same population or even changes within the same thallus.

Verticillatae is a section in the subgenus Tolypangium (genus Stylidium) that is characterized by globose capsules. Recent genetic analysis, combined with an exhaustive morphological comparison, has revealed that the classification defined by Johannes Mildbraed in 1908 is not the most accurate description of how the members of different subgenera and sections are related.Laurent, N., Bremer, B., and Bremer, K. (1999). Phylogeny and generic interrelationships of the Stylidiaceae (Asterales), with a possible extreme case of floral paedomorphosis.

They chose the generic name Dillhoffia to honor the brothers Richard M. Dillhoff and Thomas A. Dillhoff for their substantial contributions and promotion of Pacific Northwest North American Paleogene floras. The specific name is a reference to Cache Creek, British Columbia, the nearest town to the McAbee site. Dillhoffia is known from infructescences only. The infructescences are pedunculate having a globose head which bore at least twelve flowers and has been preserved as fossils with several sessile fruits.

Many species of the Tremellaceae occur in the hymenium of their hosts and do not produce visible fruit bodies. When fruit bodies are produced, they are always gelatinous, and typically brightly coloured. Microscopically, all have hyphae bearing haustorial cells which produce filaments that connect to the hyphae of their host fungi. Except in the genus Filobasidiella, the basidia are "tremelloid": globose to ellipsoid with vertical or diagonal septa, producing basidiospores on long, indeterminate sterigmata or epibasidia.
|
|
The male flowers have four ovate greenish sepals often tinged red and no petals. The female flowers are also petal-less but have three styles which subdivide into white hairs which give the inflorescence a furry appearance. Its 3-lobed capsule is depressed-globose to ovoid, grows up to 5 mm across, with typically 3 ovoid, wrinkled seeds that are around 2 mm in length and brown with low bumpy ridges. Flowering time is from June to NovemberDiscover LifeSEINet .

M. heliconiaria is similar to M. semiermis, but the translucent area on the hindwing is less extensive, the ground color of the moth is more grey, and the apex of the forewing is not distinctly darker than the rest of the wing in terms of intensity. The shape of the gnathos and the presence of the lobe on the valva also distinguishes M. heliconiaria from M. semiermis, as does the globose corpus bursae with its collar like signum.

Cupressus lusitanica is an evergreen conifer tree with a conic to ovoid-conic crown, growing to 40 m tall. The foliage grows in dense sprays, dark green to somewhat yellow-green in colour. The leaves are scale-like, 2–5 mm long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots. The seed cones are globose to oblong, 10–20 mm long, with four to 10 scales, green at first, maturing brown or grey-brown about 25 months after pollination.

Parapopanoceras is a ceratitid ammonite with a small, smooth, very involute and moderately globose shell that lived during the middle Triassic. Parapopanoceras normally has 6 to 7 whorls in its phragmocone, seldom as much as nine, with a body chamber 1-1.5 whorls in length. The suture is ceratitic with phylloid (leaf-like) saddles and subdivided lobes. The siphuncle begins at a central or subcentral position and in most species becomes ventral at the end of the second whorl.
|
|
The apex is more or less eroded in all the four specimens :it consists of not more than 1¼ embryonic whorls, which are globose, smooth, and with the point a little obliquely pressed down. The spire consists of 8½ whorls, rather short except the last, of regular increase, angulated above the middle. The shoulder between the suture and the keel is straight-lined. From the keel the whorls are slightly contracted to the inferior suture, and the profile-line here is scarcely convex.
|
|
It is a deciduous large shrub or small tree growing to 7–10 m tall. The leaves are variable in shape, obovate, elliptic-ovate or broadly ovate, 10–24 cm long and 5–14 cm broad, glossy dark green above, paler and slightly downy below, and with a bluntly acute apex. The flowers are creamy white, 6-7.6 cm wide, with the 9-12 tepals all about the same size; they are fragrant, nodding or pendent, and have a rounded, globose profile.
|
|
Pancratium maximum is a perennial glabrous herb up to 20 cm tall arising from a bulb. The bulb is globose, 4–6 cm in diameter, narrowed above into a cylindrical neck, covered with several layers of dark reddish brown papery tunics. Leaves 2–7 cm long, variable in width, linear-elliptic to narrowly elliptic or ovate and abruptly narrowed into a petiole below, 10–30 cm long x 2.3–18 cm across. The flower is white with yellow anthers and black angular seeds.
|
|
The leaf blade has a lanceolate to falcate shape and are in length and wide. It flowers between July and October producing axillary unbranched inflorescences but can appear to be arranged in clusters toward the end of the branch. The ovoid to obovoid shaped green to yellow mature buds are in length and wide and have creamy shaped flowers. The fruit that form after flowering have a truncate- globose to hemispherical shape with a length of and a width of .
|
|
Female flowers lack petals and are solitary with 2–3 mm long sepals, roughly globose ovary and large sessile stigma. Fruit capsules are glabrous or sparsely pubescent with a viscid coating similar to that of the leaves and range from 6–8 mm long with a 2 mm wide persistent stigma. Fruit capsule contains up to 3 smooth, oblong seeds which usually germinate within 5–7 days of planting. Pinkwoods are dioecious, with separate sexes, some shrubs being female and others being male.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 20 mm and 35 mm. The shell has a high conical spire and a globose body whorl. The protoconch is cyrtoconoid (almost with the shape of a cone, but having convex sides) with about 3 whorls. The teleoconch contains 7–8 convex whorls, with a sculpture of fine, regular spiral cords, broader than the interspaces, and with flexuous axial folds, which are rather swollen beneath the suture and make it undulated and channelled.
|
|
They are evergreen trees or large shrubs, growing to 5–40 m tall. The leaves are scale-like, 2–6 mm long, arranged in opposite decussate pairs, and persist for three to five years. On young plants up to two years old, the leaves are needle-like and 5–15 mm long. The cones are 8–40 mm long, globose or ovoid with four to 14 scales arranged in opposite decussate pairs; they are mature in 18–24 months from pollination.

Transfer of specific and infraspecific taxa from Mahonia to Berberis. Bot. Zhurn. 82(9):96-99. As early as 1880, Gray stated that "[a]ll our species belong to the section Mahonia, Nutt., which has evergreen unequally pinnate leaves, sessile spinulosely dentate leaflets, and dark blue globose berries." In a 1908 publication on fruits of California, Edward J. Wickson, refers to other Californian barberries as belonging to the Mahonia genus and briefly describes M. aquifolium, M. nervosa, and M. pinnata.
|
|
The cones are berry-like, globose to bilobed, in diameter, dark blue with a pale blue-white waxy bloom, and contain two seeds (rarely one or three); they usually have a curved stem and are mature in about 18 months. The male cones are long, and shed their pollen in early spring. It is dioecious, producing cones of only one sex on each plant. It is closely related to Juniperus virginiana, and often hybridizes with it where their ranges meet in southern Canada.
|
|
Of the approximately 140 species, nearly all are shrubs less than tall, but a few qualify as trees, the largest reaching . Both evergreen and deciduous species occur, in tropical and temperate regions resp. The leaves are lanceolate in most species, and arranged in opposite pairs on the stems (alternate in one species, B. alternifolia); they range from long. The flowers of the Asiatic species are mostly produced in terminal panicles long; the American species more commonly as cymes forming small, globose heads.
|
|
The female cones (seed), which mature in autumn about 18 months after pollination, are globose, large, in diameter, and hold about 100–150 seeds. The cones disintegrate at maturity to release the approximately long nut-like seeds, which are then dispersed by animals, notably the azure jay, Cyanocorax caeruleus. The inner bark and resin from the trunk of the tree is reddish, which can be a good defining character because it differs from A. araucana, which has brown bark inner and white resin.

Ascus of R. patagonica containing reticulate ascospores Ruhlandiella species are characterized by their exothecial ascocarp, highly ornamented ascospores, and paraphyses covered with gelatinous sheathes that greatly exceed asci in length. The color of ascocarp varies ranging from white to brownish lilac, but typically becomes black with age or when exposed. Asci of Ruhlandiella do not contain opercula and range from 180 to 430 µm in length. The ascospores are hyaline, globose, and range from 15 to 39 µm in diameter.

Berberis empetrifolia, sometimes called heath barberry, is a low, somewhat spiny shrub belonging to the barberries in the family Berberidaceae. The local names in Chile are zarcilla, monte negro and uva de la cordillera. It has small narrow entire leaves, and small yolk-colored flowers and later globose blue-black berries. The species originates south of 30ºS in Argentina and Chili, where it grows on sunny, often gravelly soils, and is sometimes planted as an ornamental elsewhere in temperate climates.
|
|
The seed cones are globose to oblong, 15–33 mm long, with 6 or 8 (rarely 4 or 10) scales, green at first, maturing gray or gray-brown about 20–24 months after pollination. The cones remain closed for many years, only opening after the bearing branch is killed (in a wildfire or otherwise), allowing the seeds to colonize the bare ground exposed by the fire. The male cones are 3–5 mm long, and release pollen in February–March.

When choosing a new shell, this hermit crab prefers a globose shell, especially Turbo and Nerita. In Hawaii, the shells of Trochus intextus and Turbo sandwicensis are often used, while in South Africa, an empty Lunella coronata shell is favoured. This is an aggressive hermit crab species which is prepared to fight for empty shells or other resources. The size and brightness of the white patch on the left chela seems to be a status symbol and helps its bearer in agonistic interactions.
|
|
The leaves (needles) are lanceolate, flat, dark green, long and broad, arranged in two flat rows either side of the branch. The seed cones are highly modified, each cone containing a single seed partly surrounded by a modified scale which develops into a soft, bright red berry-like structure called an aril, open at the end. The seeds are eaten by thrushes, waxwings and other birds, which disperse the hard seeds undamaged in their droppings. The male cones are globose, 3 mm diameter.

A drawing of a shell of Indrella ampulla The shell of this species is like that of Vitrina, imperforate, with few whorls and with a very large aperture. The shell consists mainly of proteins with only small amounts of calcium carbonate. The shell is obliquely ovate and globose in shape and very thin. Half the thickness consists of epidermis, marked throughout with plicate line of growth, crossed by faint impressed spiral lines, and on the last whorl by shallow irregular furrows.
|
|
The leaves are 15–40 cm long, pinnate, with 7–15 leaflets 2.5–10 cm long and 1.5–4.5 cm broad, with a coarsely and irregularly toothed margin. The flowers are green to yellow-green with four or five sepals and petals, produced in cymes 8–15 cm long in mid to late spring. The fruit is an ovoid to globose red to black drupe 6–7 mm diameter.This page incorporates text translated from the Japanese Wikipedia page ニガキRushforth, K. (1999).

Vitis chunganensis is a species of climbing vine in the grape family native to China (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces). In Chinese it is called dong nan pu tao, or Southeast grape. Habitats include forests and shrublands, hillsides and valleys, especially those where streams are present, between 500 and 1400 meters above sea-level. Flowers appear from April to June, producing very dark, purple, globose berries, about 1 cm in diameter, from June through to August.

Rhizopus oryzae was discovered by Frits Went and Hendrik Coenraad Prinsen Geerligs in 1895. The genus Rhizopus (family Mucoraceae) was erected in 1821 by the German mycologist, Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg to accommodate Mucor stolonifer and Rhizopus nigricans as distinct from the genus Mucor. The genus Rhizopus is characterized by having stolons, rhizoids, sporangiophores sprouting from the points of which rhizoids were attached, globose sporangia with columellae, striated sporangiospores. In the mid 1960s, researchers divided the genus based on temperature tolerance.

It has a globose bulb with a tunic typically brittle and coppery-brown. In common with other Brunsvigia species, plants will not flower if repeatedly disturbed by replanting. The flowers are especially fragrant at night, during which period they are pollinated by sphingid and noctuid moths. In common with other members of the family, this species forms large spherical fruiting heads which detach from the plant at maturity and efficiently disperse seeds while being bowled along by the wind (see tumbleweed).
|
|
Leaves are elliptic-oblong to elliptic-lanceolate in shape. Apex is acute to acuminate with blunt tip, base is acute to attenuate, coriaceous, glabrous; midrib of the leaf is canaliculate above, stout beneath; secondary nerves usually 5-9 pairs, where lower pairs closer than above ones; tertiary nerves are strongly reticulate on both surfaces. Fruits of the plant are usually as berries, and are globose, up to 7 cm in diameter, usually rusty brown in color and fruit bear about 8 seeds.
|
|
Individual flowers have six red to pink tepals, joined at the base to form a tube. In most species, the flowers are more-or-less upright, although in Scadoxus cyrtanthiflorus the open flowers droop and in Scadoxus nutans the top of the scape bends over so that the flowers face downwards. The filaments of the stamens arise from the base of the tepals and may be flattened. The fruit takes the form of a globose berry, orange to red when ripe.
|
|
The aperture is quite oblique, rounded-ovate, angular above, broadly rounded below, with a thin iridescent layer of nacre within. The outer, basal and columellar margins are rather thin, curved, the latter joined to the upper margin by a thin white parietal callous. The narrow umbilicus is not bounded by an angle.Tryon (1889), Manual of Conchology XI, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia This dull whitish little shell may be known by its finely striate surface, narrow umbilicus, short spire and globose-turbinate form.

Leaves of teak in Nilambur, Kerala Teak defoliator in Kerala Fragrant white flowers are borne on long by wide panicles from June to August. The corolla tube is 2.5–3 mm long with 2 mm wide obtuse lobes. Tectona grandis sets fruit from September to December; fruits are globose and 1.2-1.8 cm in diameter. Flowers are weakly protandrous in that the anthers precede the stigma in maturity and pollen is shed within a few hours of the flower opening.
|
|
These lobes are broadest near the base with the two basal pairs of lobes cut right to the midrib as separate leaflets, rounded at the apex, with finely serrated margins. The autumn colour is dull rusty brown. The flowers are 20 mm in diameter, with five white petals and 20 yellowish-white stamens; they are produced in corymbs 6–11 cm in diameter in late spring. The fruit is a globose pome 12–15 mm in diameter, bright red, maturing in mid-autumn.

135: 41-69. It is a large evergreen tree growing straight and tall to a height of 30–50 m, with smooth, scaly bark. The leaves are 5–12 cm long and 2–5 cm broad, tough and leathery in texture, with no midrib; they are arranged in opposite pairs (rarely whorls of three) on the stem. The seed cones are globose, 8–13 cm diameter, and mature in 18–20 months after pollination; they disintegrate at maturity to release the seeds.
|
|
The macroconidia also possess a rat-like tail at the edges of the conidia. The ascoma of the fungus is a globose, appendaged gymnothecium that is pale buff in colour and 500–1250 μm in diameter. The peridial hyphae are hyaline, pale buff, septate, and are branched with thinly but have densely verrucose walls. Microconidia are drop shaped, clavate, (1.7–3.5 x 3.3–8.3 μm), unicellular, smooth-walled or can be slightly roughened and are created laterally on the hyphae.
|
|
It is a compact, bushy, evergreen shrub with glossy green leaves and solitary white flowers in spring, followed in autumn by showy globose berries up to in diameter, in shades from deep plum purple through pink to pure white. It is dioecious, meaning that both male and female plants must be grown together in order to produce fruit. It prefers moist, shaded conditions. Its fruits are edible when ripe; they are sweet and juicy but somewhat tasteless, hence useful as survival food.

Coryphantha (from Greek, "flowering on the top"), or beehive cactus, is a genus of small to middle-sized, globose or columnar cacti. The genus is native to arid parts of Central America, Mexico, through Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas and north into southwestern, central, and southeastern Montana. With its two subgenera, 57 species and 20 subspecies, it is one of the largest genera of cactus.Dicht, Reto F. and Lüthy, Adrian D. (2005) Coryphantha: Cacti of Mexico and Southern USA.

The pillwort, along with all other aquatic ferns in the order Salviniales, exhibits heterospory and forms hard, seed-like sporocarps, as do the other members of the order. The sporocarps are distinctly different from the closely related genus Marsilea because they are globose in Pilularia, while they are flattened in Marsilea. The ferns in the genus Pilularia also have lost their leaf blades, with only the grass-like stipe remaining. However, this plant retains the circinate vernation characteristic of most ferns.
|
|
It is an evergreen shrub or small tree growing to 5 m tall. The leaves are borne in decussate whorls of three, scale-like, 2–5 mm long and 1–1.5 mm broad; leaves on seedlings are longer and needle-like, not scale-like. The seed cones are globose, 1–2 cm diameter, with six scales in two whorls of three; they mature in about 18 months from pollination. The pollen cones are cylindrical, 3–6 mm long and 1.2–2 mm broad.

Shell of Bellamya chinensis Species of the genus Cipangopaludina can be identified by their relatively large globose shells and concentrically marked opercula. The shell is conical and thin but solid, with a sharp apex and relatively higher spire and distant body whorl. This species has a small and round umbilicus and the spire is produced at an angle of 65–80°. Cipangopaludina chinensis exhibits light coloration as a juvenile and olive green, greenish brown, brown or reddish brown pigmentation as an adult.

Hesperocyparis goveniana is an evergreen tree with a conic to ovoid-conic crown, very variable in size, with mature trees of under on some sites, to tall in ideal conditions. The foliage grows in dense sprays, dark green to somewhat yellow-green in color. The leaves are scale-like, long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots. The seed cones are globose to oblong, long, with 6 to 10 scales, green at first, maturing brown or gray-brown about 20–24 months after pollination.
|

The efferent pathways include the cerebellorubral, dentatothalamic, and fastigioreticular tracts. All of them emerge from cerebellar nuclei; the cerebellorubral fibers from the globose and emboliform nuclei, the dentatothalamic fibers from the dentate nucleus, and the fastigioreticular fibers from the fastigial nucleus. They emerge together from the various nuclei to ascend in the roof of the fourth ventricle and proceed anteriorly to the midbrain tegmental area medial to the lateral lemniscus. The cerebellorubral fibers cross over at this point to enter the contralateral red nucleus.
|
|
The fruit is a globose woody capsule, it is covered in fine white hairs, and varies in colour from orange to brown as it matures. The mature capsule splits in half to expose rows of 8-20 red or orange sticky seeds. Conspicuous dark valves can be seen on the inner face of the mature, open, capsule. The bark is grey to light brown in colour, and varies from a smooth and somewhat scaly in appearance lower down, to a rougher and papery appearance higher up.

Buddleja hieronymi is a dioecious shrub 1 - 1.5 m high with greyish rimose bark. The old naked branches often persist, while the youngest branches are tomentulose, bearing small oblong subsessile leaves 0.5 - 3 cm long by 0.4 - 1 cm wide, membranaceous or subcoriaceous, tomentulose to glabrescent above, and tomentose below. The yellowish-white inflorescence comprises one globose head 0.5 - 0.7 cm in diameter formed by 6 - 9 flowers, with occasionally a pair of smaller heads below. The tubular corolla is 2.5 - 3 mm long.
|
|
Pink flowers appear between January and September in the species' native range. These are followed by globose to cylindrical fruit with a persistent calyx. In 1770, plant material was collected at Cape Grafton, Endeavour River and Point Lookout () (not to be confused with Point Lookout, also named by Cook), by botanists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander during Lieutenant James Cook's first voyage of discovery. However, the species was not formally described until 1834 by Austrian botanist Stephan Endlicher who gave it the name Fenzlia obtusa.

Individuals typically occur in clumps and are multi-stemmed with varying stem densities . It is dioecious, with the male and female cones on separate plants; the seed cone is highly modified, berry-like, with a single scale developing into a soft, juicy red aril 1 cm diameter, containing a single dark brown seed 5–6 mm long and occur singly on few leaf axils. The pollen cones are globose, 4 mm diameter, produced on the undersides of the shoots in early spring.Rushforth, K. (1987). Conifers.

|
Globigerina has a globose, trochospirally enrolled test composed of spherical to ovate but not radially elongate chambers that enlarge rapidly as added, commonly with only three to five in the final whorl. The test (or shell) wall is calcareous, perforate, with cylindrical pores. During life the surface has numerous long slender spines that are broken on dead or fossil shells, the short blunt remnants resulting in a hispid surface. The aperture a high umbilical arch that may be bordered by an imperforate rim or narrow lip.

Nepenthes aristolochioides is noted for exhibiting relatively little dimorphism between its lower and upper pitchers. Rosette and lower pitchers are only briefly produced on small rosettes before the plant begins to climb, or on offshoots from the climbing stem. They arise from the ends of the tendrils, forming a 3–5 mm wide curve. They are broadly infundibular in the lower two-thirds and globose above, forming a dome above the pitcher opening. They reach 7 cm in height and 3 cm in width.

Rosa glauca is a deciduous arching shrub of sparsely bristled and thorny cinnamon-coloured arching canes 1.5–3 m tall. The most distinctive feature is its leaves, which are glaucous blue-green to coppery or purplish, and covered with a waxy bloom; they are 5–10 cm long and have 5–9 leaflets. The fragile, clear pink flowers are 2.5–4 cm in diameter, and are produced in clusters of two to five. The fruit is a dark red globose hip 10–15 mm in diameter.
|
|
The rachis of the inflorescence is 25–49 cm long and has 51-90 rachillae (branches) which are 8–32 cm long. Both sexes of the flowers are coloured purple, although according to Nigel Kembrey, a British horticulturist specialised in Butia, some forms may have yellow flowers. The staminate (male) flowers are 6–7mm in length and have a prominent pedicel (stalk). The pistillate (female) flowers are more or less globose (round), 5–6mm in length, and with sepals and petals about equal in size.
|
|
The cones are globose, 4–8 mm diameter, with 6–10 scales arranged in opposite pairs, maturing in autumn about 7–8 months after pollination. The Latin specific epithet pisifera, “pea-bearing”, refers to the small round green cones. A related cypress found on Taiwan, Chamaecyparis formosensis (Formosan cypress), differs in longer ovoid cones 6–10 mm long with 10–16 scales. The extinct Eocene species Chamaecyparis eureka, known from fossils found on Axel Heiberg Island in Canada, is noted to be very similar to C. pisifera.

Dissecting the mushroom at this stage reveals a characteristic yellowish layer of skin under the veil, which helps identification. As the fungus grows, the red colour appears through the broken veil and the warts become less prominent; they do not change in size, but are reduced relative to the expanding skin area. The cap changes from globose to hemispherical, and finally to plate-like and flat in mature specimens. Fully grown, the bright red cap is usually around in diameter, although larger specimens have been found.

The flower heads are of two types; One, in short terminal branches, produces only pollen. The other, in clusters in the axils of the leaves, produces seed. Unlike many other members of the family Asteraceae, whose seeds are airborne with a plume of silky hairs resembling miniature parachutes, cocklebur seeds are produced in a hard, spiny, globose or oval double-chambered, single-seeded bur long. It is covered with stiff, hooked spines, which stick to fur and clothing and can be quite difficult to detach.

Clerodendrum infortunatum is a flowering shrub or small tree, and is so named because of its rather ugly leaf. The stem is erect, high, with no branches and produce circular leaves with diameter. Leaves are simple, opposite; both surfaces sparsely villous- pubescent, elliptic, broadly elliptic, ovate or elongate ovate, wide, long, dentate, inflorescence in terminal, peduncled, few-flowered cyme; flowers white with purplish pink or dull-purple throat, pubescent. Fruit berry, globose, turned bluish-black or black when ripe, enclosed in the red accrescent fruiting-calyx.

It is most easily distinguished from the closely related European larch by the shoots being downy (hairless in European larch). The leaves are needle-like, light green, 2–5 cm long, and turn bright yellow before they fall in the autumn, leaving the pale yellow-buff shoots bare until the next spring. The male and female cones are borne separately on the same tree; pollination is in early spring. The male cones are solitary, yellow, globose to oblong, 4–8 mm diameter, and produce wingless pollen.

Stems are quite red in colour. The small cream or white flowers appear in summer and are followed by black, globose, two- lobed berries 5–8 mm wide, which appear in autumn.Beadle, N.C.W., Evans, O.D., Carolin, R.C., Flora of the Sydney Region, A.H. & A.W. Reed, 1976, Floyd, A.G., Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia, Inkata Press, 1989, There are separate male and female plants. Originally described by French botanist Jean Louis Marie Poiret, it gained its current name in 1969 by A.C. Smith.

Trochodendron rosayi fruits are born on pedicels sprouting from a thick central stalk. The fruits have a globose to turbinate outline, with a narrow base that flares out towards the apex. The tops of the fruits are rounded with approximately ten locular slits joining at the fruit apex to from a polygonal opening when the mature fruits dehisced. The locular slits form just above the straight to slightly outwardly curved persistant styles which sprout from the fruit 1/3 of the way below the apex.
|
|
The leaves are large, thick, blade oblongs that are 10–27 cm long, attached to short petioles about 1 cm long. Its male flowers have 5 petals and 1 cm long stamens united into 5 bundles, while its hermaphroditic flowers have ovaries with 9–10 loculi. Its fruits are globose, about 4–5 cm in diameter, with red pericarp. In Vietnam, the plant's young leaves are used for food, such as being cooked in soup, or eaten fresh in a dish called banh xeo.

Phacops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae, that lived in Europe, northwestern Africa, North and South America and China from the Late Ordovician until the very end of the Devonian, with a broader time range described from the Late Ordovician.Phacops at Fossilworks.org It was a rounded animal, with a globose head and large eyes, and probably fed on detritus. Phacops is often found rolled up ("volvation"), a biological defense mechanism that is widespread among smaller trilobites but further perfected in this genus.

They are large trees, reaching tall and (exceptionally ) trunk diameter. The needle-like leaves, long, are borne spirally on the shoots, twisted at the base so as to appear in two flat rows on either side of the shoot. The cones are globose, diameter, with 10-25 scales, each scale with 1-2 seeds; they are mature in 7–9 months after pollination, when they disintegrate to release the seeds. The male (pollen) cones are produced in pendulous racemes, and shed their pollen in early spring.

Iboga is native to tropical forests, preferring moist soil in partial shade. It bears dark green, narrow leaves and clusters of white tubular flowers on an erect and branching stem, with yellow-orange fruits resembling an olive. Normally growing to a height of 2 m, T. iboga may eventually grow into a small tree up to 10 m tall, given the right conditions. The flowers are yellowish-white or pink and followed by a fruit, orange at maturity, that may be either globose or fusiform.
|
|
The small flowers (called florets) are clustered together in a special structure containing a few hundred blooms. Unlike most rodent-pollinated proteas, in P. recondita this inflorescence, or more specifically a pseudanthia (also called a 'flower head'), is apical, budding from the tops of the stems as opposed to from their sides. The flower head is furthermore sessile, which means it has no stalk (a 'peduncle'), but arises directly from the leafy branch. The head is globose in shape, in length, and about in diameter.

Camellia chinmeii is an endemic species of small evergreen tree. It is of the genus Camellia (Chinese: 茶花; pinyin: cháhuā, literally: "tea flower") of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. C. chinmeii has sessile flowers, six to ten perules, four or five white, early deciduous petals, yellow radiating stamens that are separate to nearly-separate to the base, style 6–7 mm in length and fused 1/2 to 2/3 from the base, densely tomentose ovary. The globose fruit is with beaked or unbeaked capsule.

Grevillea eryngioides, commonly called the curly grevillea, is a shrub of the genus Grevillea native to an in the eastern Wheatbelt and western Goldfields- Esperance regions of Western Australia. The suckering glaucous shrub typically grows to a height of and has non-glaucous branchlets. It has simple dissected leaves with a blade that is in length and wide. It blooms from September to January and produces a terminal inflorescence with yellow or purple flowers, followed by a globose glaucous viscid fruit that is long.
|
|
The phialides sit on top of almond-shaped structures known as metulae that are about 10-20 µm in length and also slightly pigmented. Together, these metulae and phialides structures radiate outward from a spheroid structure known as the vesicle, layering around its entire surface area. The vesicle can grow to a diameter of 80 µm, with a completely fertile spheroid surface area. Collectively, this large globose complex made up of the vesicle at the centre with metulae and phialides radiating outward is called the conidial head.

They are black, with a globose to subglobose shape. The lateral and terminal hairs of the ascomata are 500-1500 μm long, 4-6 μm wide with an olive-brown colour and may contain tips with are rolled in a flat coil towards the center. The pale brown ascospores are ellipsoidal (or football-shaped) and contain one germ pore that is roughly 13-16 x 8-10.5 μm. Mating behaviour of the fungus is unknown because single- spore cultures lose the ability to produce ascomata.

As yet, no well-established clinical or geographic distinction is seen between these two genetic groups. In its asexual form, the fungus grows as a colonial microfungus strongly similar in macromorphology to B. dermatitidis. A microscopic examination shows a marked distinction: H. capsulatum produces two types of conidia, globose macroconidia, 8–15 µm, with distinctive tuberculate or finger-like cell wall ornamentation, and ovoid microconidia, 2–4 µm, which appear smooth or finely roughened. Whether either of these conidial types is the principal infectious particle is unclear.

Viewed in deposit, as with a spore print, the spores are a dark purple-brown color. Viewed microscopically, spores are roughly ellipsoid in shape, with dimensions of (5-) 6–7.5 (-8) by (3-) 4-4.5 (-5) by (3-) 3.5–4 µm. The spore-bearing cells, the basidia, are four-spored. The pleurocystidia are (11‒) 15‒20(‒32) × (3‒) 4‒6 (‒10.5) µm, hyaline, polymorphous with many forms - ventricose-capitate or broadly globose, subclavate, subfusoid to sublageniform, sometimes subcylindric or ventricose, usually a short neck but sometimes with two or three necks, occasionally irregularly branching. The cheilocystidia (cystidia located on the gill edge) are (11‒) 14‒22 (‒40) × (3‒) (4‒) 5‒7 (19) µm, and are shaped like the pleurocystidia. The pileocystidia (cystidia located on the cap surface) are hyaline, (8‒) 10‒30 (‒40) × (4‒) 5‒7 (‒10) µm and have very irregular forms - globose, subglobose, capitate or ventricose. The caulocystidia (cystidia located on the gill stipe) are (11‒) 14‒22 (‒40) × (3‒) (4‒) 5‒7 (19) µm, and are shaped like the pleurocystidia. The pileocystidia are hyaline, (13‒) 15‒38 (‒46) × 4‒8 (‒9.5) µm, polymorphous, subglageniform, clavate or fusoid.

They published their 2003 type description of the species in the Canadian Journal of Botany volume number 81. and named the species eureka to reflect the type locality placement in the Eureka Sound group, Axel Heiberg Island. Chamaecyparis eureka has been placed in the genus Chamaecyparis, based on the morphology of the seed cones, which differ significantly in the important characters from cone of related genera Cupressus and Fokienia. The general structure is that of a woody cone borne on the tip of a leafy branch; the cones are elongated to globose in overall shape.

As in other deep-sea anglerfish families, sexual dimorphism is extreme: the largest females may exceed lengths of 60 cm (two feet) and are globose in shape, whereas males do not exceed 4 cm (1.5 inches) as adults and are comparatively fusiform. Their flesh is gelatinous, but thickens in the larger females, which also possess a covering of "bucklers" — round, bony plates each with a median spine — that are absent in males. Both are a reddish brown to black in life. In females, the mouth is large and oblique.

140px B. araucana is a dioecious shrub, 1-3 m tall, with grey fissured bark. The young branches are terete and tomentose, bearing sessile coriaceous leaves linear to lanceolate tomentose on both sides, 3-9 cm long by 0.8-1.8 cm wide. The light orange inflorescence comprises one terminal globose head and 1-5 pairs of pedunculate heads in the axils of the progressively larger leaves; the heads are 1-2 cm in diameter and contain 25-45 flowers, the corolla is tomentulose, 4-5 mm long, with warty hairs inside. Ploidy: 2n = 38.
|

The leaves are persistent in nature, forming a shag around the trunk; in cultivation they are typically burned or cut off. The inflorescences extend out beyond the crown, reaching in length. The flowers themselves are small, appearing in February and March, while the fruits are in length, brown and with a generally ovoid to globose shape. This species is the most widespread endemic palm of Mexico’s northern peninsula; it is locally common in arroyos and canyon bottoms, and has been observed growing in rock crevices at higher elevations.

Escobaria, pincushion cactus or foxtail cactus"Escobaria Britton & Rose foxtail cactus" PLANTS database, Natural Resources Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture is a genus of low-growing cacti that range from the southernmost parts of central and western Canada through northern Mexico, with one species in Cuba. The genus comprises about 23 species. The term "pincushion cactus" may also refer to the related Mammillaria. The stems of Escobaria range from globose to cylindrical, and lack nectar-secreting glands; while ribs are absent, tubercles are present, tending to become corky and deciduous as they age.

Flowering and seed production begins at ten years of age, however large quantities of seeds are not produced until the tree is 20. As with most maples, Norway maple is normally dioecious (separate male and female trees), occasionally monoecious, and trees may change gender from year to year. The fruits of Norway maple are paired samaras with widely diverging wings, distinguishing them from those of sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus which are at 90 degrees to each other. Norway maple seeds are flattened, while those of sugar maple are globose.

The piñon pine (Pinus edulis) is a small to medium size tree, reaching tall and with a trunk diameter of up to , rarely more. The bark is irregularly furrowed and scaly. The leaves ('needles') are in pairs, moderately stout, long, and green, with stomata on both inner and outer surfaces but distinctly more on the inner surface forming a whitish band. The cones are globose, long and broad when closed, green at first, ripening yellow-buff when 18–20 months old, with only a small number of thick scales, with typically 5–10 fertile scales.

They are one of the ancient lineages of flowering plants, usually growing as part of an understorey in rainforests or humid Eucalypt forests. They have glossy leaves, oblong–elliptic shaped, from long. The branches bear the globose to urn-shaped fruits of a green external colour, measuring diameter and yellowing when ripe with pale coloured edible jelly flesh inside, interspersed by many non-edible seeds (similar appearance to guava contents). Germination from fresh seed commences after around three weeks and completes after five weeks, with a high level of germination.

Museum specimen The pretty thick shell is ovate-globose and ventricose. The pointed spire is formed of six whorls, the upper of which are slightly convex, but little developed, having three or four transverse striae, very apparent, and spotted with brown blotches. The body whorl is very much inflated, completely surrounded by from fifteen to twenty equal ribs, depressed, but slightly rounded. These ribs are separated from each other by a shallow furrow, which becomes wider between the first two or three upper ribs, by the disappearance of the intermediate ribs.

Charles Clarke notes that the upper pitchers of N. eustachya, which have a pronounced globose base, may resemble those of N. clipeata from Borneo and N. klossii from New Guinea. Nevertheless, it would be difficult to confuse these species as they have little else in common and are geographically isolated from each other. In 2001, Clarke performed a cladistic analysis of the Nepenthes species of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia using 70 morphological characteristics of each taxon. The following is a portion of the resultant cladogram, showing "Clade 5".

Hülle cells from a single cleistothecium. Scale bar is 10 µm Eduard Eidam first described Hülle cells in 1883 where he termed Hülle cells as a “Blasenhülle” or bubble envelope (Eidam 1883). In different species, Hülle cell like structures are known such as in Candida albicans which produce at the very end of the hyphae globose blisters named chlamydospores (Navarathna et al., 2016). Eidam suggested that Hülle cells originate from the tip of “secondary hyphae” which in turn emerge from “primary hyphae” and develop as a consequence of a swelling process.

The height of the shell attains 6 mm. The solid, umbilicate shell has a globose-conical shape. It is lusterless or slightly shining, purplish, unicolored, or with large radiating white patches above, or around the periphery, or spiral darker lines, or spiral articulated lines. Surface either with (1st) a few (2-4) strong lirae above, their interspaces smooth, the base with about 8 concentric lirulae, or (2d) more numerous narrow irregular lirulae above, those of the base still smaller, or (3d) the spiral sculpture obsolete, surface smooth or nearly so above and beneath.

L. vinaceobrunnea is distinguished from L. amethystina and L. amethysteo-occidentalis macroscopically by color, with the former species having a deep purple color only in very young specimens, which soon fades to a violaceous- or reddish-brown color, and eventually to dull orange-brown or buff color with age. Its spore features are intermediate between L. amethystina and L. amethysteo-occidentalis, having a subglobose to broadly ellipsoid shape like L. amethysteo-occidentalis (rather than the strongly globose shape of L. amethystina spores) and long spines characteristic of L. amethystina.Mueller, 1984. p 115.

The African and Madagascan species all have bisexual flowers (possessing both male and female parts), whereas many of the American species have flowers that are unisexual (either male or female). The apetalous flowers are in small panicles. The fruits are globose or oblong berries, 3–5 cm in length, hard and fleshy and at the junction of the peduncle part with the fruit covered by a cup-shaped, occasionally flat, cupule, giving them an appearance similar to an acorn. The fruit is dark green, gradually darkening with maturity.

Cupressus atlantica, the Moroccan cypress, is a rare coniferous tree endemic to the valley of the Oued n'Fiss river in the High Atlas Mountains south of Marrakech in western Morocco. The majority are old, with very little regeneration due to overgrazing by goats, and they are critically endangered. This species is distinct from the allied Cupressus sempervirens (Mediterranean cypress) in its much bluer foliage with a white resin spot on each leaf, the smaller shoots often being flattened in a single plane. It also has smaller, globose cones, only 1.5-2.5 cm long.
|
|
The male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. Fruits are up to 25 mm in diameter, depressed–globose or pumpkin-shaped, with a dense covering of velvety hairs, and the strongly accrescent calyx persisting. The clear, jelly-like pulp holds from 3 to 8 shiny brown, slender, 10 mm long seeds, each with a single prominent dark spot. Some authors describe it as being poisonous, which is puzzling as generally ripe fruits from this genus are quite tasty and edible, though green fruits are rich in tannins.

Bole of an aged Platanus, in Trsteno, near Dubrovnik, Croatia Ripe plane tree fruit The flowers are reduced and are borne in balls (globose heads); 3–7 hairy sepals may be fused at the base, and the petals are 3–7 and are spatulate. Male and female flowers are separate, but borne on the same plant (monoecious). The number of heads in one cluster (inflorescence) is indicative of the species (see table below). The male flower has 3–8 stamens; the female has a superior ovary with 3–7 carpels.

The Central region of Taiwan is characterized by basins, and is a plains region mostly surrounded by mountain ranges, such as the Hsueshan Range in the North. The isolated region consists of forests of endemic flora species such as; Castanopsis eyrie, C. kawakami, Quercus dentate, Q. serrata var. brevipetiolata, Lindera aggregate, Podocarpus nakaii, Ormosiaformosana, Wuercus (Cyclobalanopsis) globose, Castanopsis fargesii, Lithocarpus nantoensis. The Hengchun region of Taiwan is a subtropical evergreen forested area, with broad-leaved forests, as well as a few semi-tropical rain forests in the low-lands.

They are shrubs to trees, typically 3-6 (to 27) m in height. Branches are greyish-white to brownish grey. Leaves: 120–200 mm; with petiole and rachis adaxially flat, abaxially rounded; leaflets generally in number of 3 or 5, sub-opposite or opposites; petioles 3–5 mm; thin elliptic to oblong- lanceolate, 60-100 × 25–40 mm, coriaceous, both surfaces glabrous and glossy. The female flowers are sessile, globose, 2–3 mm in diameter, axillary in the apical part of the branches, in spikes; rachis thin, finely grooved, with scattered flowers.
|
|
The leaves are slender and dark green, with a translucent light-yellow midrib. New leaves are initially erect, but they later droop, and eventually the old dead leaves persist hanging around the stem, beneath the dense rosette. The leaf margins are lined with very tiny yellow-green spines, but these are usually not near the leaf base. This species has variable 9–18 cm, globose fruit-head that becomes greenish-brown to purple when ripe. Each fruit-head holds an extremely variable number (50-150) of drupes, which also vary in size, colour and shape.

Like other members of the Mimosoideae subfamily, Parkia pendula exhibits pollen aggregation, specifically polyads. It further differentiates itself from other members of Mimosoideae by having globose polyads rather than flattened polyads from pollen grain layering. Parkia pendula polyads are about 100 mm in diameter and composed of 32 pollen grains, with an outer exine that is grooved. The stigma for each fertile flower only contains a cavity for one polyad, but since the number of pollen grains matches the number of ovules, one polyad can fertilize all the ovules of a flower.

|
The colour of the colonies then darkens as time goes on, changing from white to brown to black - the color of maturity. The black color is largely due to the dark-coloured spores that form as the fungi matures. Ascomata of the fungi is a submerged globose cleistothecia color dark brown and is usually 60-200 μm in diameter The ascomata of the fungi is encased with a brown, semi-transparent, pseudoparenchymatous, double membraned textura epidermoidea - thin and tightly packed peridium. The peridium is also smooth walled and not bristly.

Various bizarre forms are included here, all radical departures from the streamlined body plan typical of most fishes. These forms range from nearly square or triangular (boxfishes), globose (pufferfishes) to laterally compressed (filefishes and triggerfishes). They range in size from Rudarius excelsus (a filefish), measuring just in length, to the ocean sunfish, the largest of all bony fishes at up to in length and weighing over 2 tonnes. Most members of this order – except for the family Balistidae – are ostraciiform swimmers, meaning the body is rigid and incapable of lateral flexure.

Calostoma cinnabarinum, showing the gelatinous layer and amphibian egg-like appearance The appearance of the fruit bodies has been compared to amphibian eggs or "small red tomato[es] surrounded by jelly". They consist of a bright red, globose head atop a net-like stipe, covered in a thick gelatinous layer. These fruit bodies are initially hypogeous, but emerge from the ground as the stipe continues to expand. The head is up to in diameter and typically nearly round, although in some populations, it is visibly oval and may be slightly smaller or larger.

It is a globose cactus, spherical or a little flat, with a diameter up to 8 cm, dark green in colour, or sometimes brown. It has 8 to 10 ribs with tubercle-shaped areoles, covered in groups of 6 to 8 pale grey, curved spines, giving to the species its common name of spider-cactus. Like many cacti, it does not divide but may form offsets after some years. The funnel-shaped flowers reach a diameter of 6 cm, growing near the apex of the plant and are red, pink or orange.

Twigs range in color from "reddish brown to gray"; young twigs are hairy, and get smoother with age. Bark is similar that of the flowering dogwood, ranging in color from "reddish brown to almost black" and forming "blocky plates on larger trunks". Viburnum rufidulum blooms in April to May with creamy white flowers that are bisexual, or perfect and similar to those of other Viburnum species, but with clusters as large as six inches wide. The fruits are purple or dark blue, glaucous, globose or ellipsoid drupes that mature in mid to late summer.

In 1995 Seifert, Samson and Chapela isolated Escovopsis aspergilloides from nests of the Trachymyrmex ruthae - an ant species originally from Trinidad. E. aspergilloides differs from other species in Escovopsis weberi by its "globose vesicles and narrow, ellipsoidal conidia." American entomologist and myrmecologist Neal A. Weber began publishing his research on ants in 1934 continued to investigate the relationship between ants and fungus gardens for 35 years. Little had been published in the twentieth century about the species Escovopsis and ant gardens prior to his 1966 article "Fungus-growing ants" in the journal Science.

The sporangia (the fern's spore-bearing structures) are borne on the underside of the leaf beneath the false indusium, a trait found in all members of Adiantum and not in any species outside it. The sori are round, and are found on veins ending in the false indusium, below the veins' ends. The spores are tetrahedral to globose, yellow in color, and measure 41 to 58 micrometers (μm) in diameter (averaging 51.4 μm), on average larger than other species in the A. pedatum complex. Spores appear in the summer and fall.

The length of the shell attains 7 mm; its width 2 mm.. (Original description) The shell has a shortly fusiform shape and is light brown. It contains 6 ½ whorls. The nucleus consists of 1½ rather large, globose, glassy shining whorls. The four whorls following are strongly keeled around the middle, concave above, with two or three fine spiral lirae, and also concave below the carina, margined at the upper and lower boundaries by a fine thread-like lira arcuately or flexuously elevately striated above the carina, and obliquely but in an opposite direction, beneath it.

On the microscopic level the cells appear globose to ovate and are capsulated. Occasionally the cells have been seen to create chains of four to five cells. When grown, it does not require vitamins, but its growth is weakened by the presence of ammonium sulfate. It is able to assimilate alpha-methyl-D- glucoside, Ca-2-keto-gluconate, cellobiose, D-arabinose, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, D-xylose, galactose, glucose, K-5-keto-gluconate- K-gluconate, lactose, L-arabinose, L-rhamnose, maltose, melezitose, i-inositol, raffinose, salicin and trehalose.

Black seadevils are characterised by a gelatinous, mostly scaleless, globose body, a large head, and generous complement of menacingly large, sharp, glassy, fang-like teeth lining the jaws of a cavernous, oblique mouth. These teeth are depressible and present only in females. Some species have a scattering of epidermal spinules on the body, and the scales (when present) are conical, hollow, and translucent. Like other anglerfishes, black seadevils possess an illicium and esca; the former being a modified dorsal spine--the "fishing rod"--and the latter being the bulbous, bioluminescent "fishing lure".

Bailan melon The Bailan melon is a locally famous melon grown near Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu province in the People's Republic of China. It is a variety of honeydew melon, globose to subglobose and typically has white skin with sweet, white or pale green, flesh. In photographs, the melons appear light yellow, orange or white, with a light green or apricot yellow flesh, which makes it similar in appearance to other types in the cultivar group of the muskmelon. It is also heavy due to the density of the fruit's inner flesh.

Sagittal cross-section of human cerebellum, showing the dentate nucleus, as well as the pons and inferior olivary nucleus The deep nuclei of the cerebellum are clusters of gray matter lying within the white matter at the core of the cerebellum. They are, with the minor exception of the nearby vestibular nuclei, the sole sources of output from the cerebellum. These nuclei receive collateral projections from mossy fibers and climbing fibers as well as inhibitory input from the Purkinje cells of the cerebellar cortex. The four nuclei (dentate, globose, emboliform, and fastigial) each communicate with different parts of the brain and cerebellar cortex.

The embryo sac (megagametophyte) varies by genera, but is mainly tetrasporic (e.g. Fritillaria). Embryo sacs in which three of the four megaspores fuse to form a triploid nucleus, are referred to as Fritillaria- type, a characteristic shared by all the core Liliales. ; Fruit : A capsule that is usually loculicidal (splitting along the locules) as in the Lilioideae, but occasionally septicidal (splitting between them, along the separating septa) in the Calachortoideae and wind dispersed, although the Medeoleae form berries (baccate). The seeds may be flat, oblong, angular, discoid, ellipsoid or globose (spherical), or compressed with a well developed epidermis.

Neuroscience, 167(4), 965–968. It is the largest and most lateral, or farthest from the midline, of the four pairs of deep cerebellar nuclei, the others being the globose and emboliform nuclei, which together are referred to as the interposed nucleus, and the fastigial nucleus. The dentate nucleus is responsible for the planning, initiation and control of voluntary movements. The dorsal region of the dentate nucleus contains output channels involved in motor function, which is the movement of skeletal muscle, while the ventral region contains output channels involved in nonmotor function, such as conscious thought and visuospatial function.

For Patouillard, the Tremellaceae was limited to genera and species in which the basidia were "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid with vertical or diagonal septa), whether or not the fruit bodies were gelatinous. Patouillard's revised Tremellaceae included the genera Clavariopsis (= Holtermannia), Ditangium, Exidia, Guepinia, Heterochaete, Hyaloria, Protomerulius, Sebacina, Sirobasidium, Tremella, and Tremellodon (= Pseudohydnum). The next major revision was in 1984, when Bandoni used transmission electron microscopy to investigate the ultrastructure of the septal pore apparatus in species of the Tremellaceae. This revealed that Tremella and its allies were distinct from Exidia and its allies, despite both groups having tremelloid basidia.

Phaeocollybia attenuata can readily be differentiated in the field by the long wirelike pseudorhiza extending below the substrate, and microscopically by the much more heavily ornamented limoniform-globose spores and absence of pleurocystidia. Other morphologically similar species include Hypholoma udum and H. elongatum, but unlike M. corneipes, both of these agarics have smooth spores, yellow chrysocystidia, and lack metuloids. The lookalike Galerina sideroides is found in Washington, Michigan, and Sweden, where it fruits in groups on rotten conifer logs. It has distinct microscopic characteristics, such as a wider range of basidial widths (20–40 µm), and a lack of pleurocystidia.

Hyaloperonospora differs from Perofascia in that its sporangiophores are tree-like, its haustoria are lobate to globose, and the walls of its oospores are relatively thinner. The life history does not differ from that of Peronospora, the genus that Hyaloperonospora species used to be classified under. It begins as sporangia, which are small spore-like structure, and when it lands next to a leaf stoma, it germinates a germ-tube. The germ tube enters the leaf cell creating a haustorium, which allows the mould the uptake nutrients from the leaf. The mould will continue to grow, with hyphae extending into the leaf’s intercellular space.

Trompettia cardenasiana is a spiny shrub bearing very small leaves, by , a yellow trumpet-shaped campanulate flower, measuring about long and globose fruit. The growth habit is somewhat reminiscent of certain Lycium species. It is endemic to Bolivia, growing in dry, Andean valleys at altitudes of and and has been collected near the town of Cotagaita in Potosí Department. The species was originally described in Iochroma but subsequent research revealed that, far from being a species of Iochroma, it did not even belong in tribe Physaleae (to which Iochroma belongs), constituting instead a monotypic genus in tribe Datureae most closely related to the genera Datura and Brugmansia.

About 90% of all known lichens have a green alga as a symbiont. “Clorococcoid” means a green alga (Chlorophyta) that has single cells that are globose, which is common in lichens. This was once classified in the order Chlorococcales, which one may find stated in older literature, but new DNA data shows many independent lines of evolution exist among this formerly large taxonomic group. Chlorococcales is now a relatively small order and may no longer include any lichen photobionts. The term “Trebouxioid” refers to members of the Trebouxia algae or other algae that resemble them: a clorococcoid green algae photobiont in the genus Trebouxia.

The seed cones mature in 7–8 months to 2.5–4.5 cm long, ovoid to globose, with spirally arranged scales; each scale bears 3–5 seeds. They are often proliferous (with a vegetative shoot growing on beyond the tip of the cone) on cultivated trees; this is rare in wild trees, and may be a cultivar selected for easy vegetative propagation for use in forestry plantations. As the tree grows its trunk tends to sucker around the base, particularly following damage to the stem or roots, and it then may grow in a multi-trunked form. Brown bark of mature trees peels off in strips to reveal reddish-brown inner bark.

The succeeding whorls form the protoconch, globose, large, smooth. The subsequent whorls are turreted, angulated at the upper part at a short distance from the suture, beneath the angulation, which is rounded, sloping inward, so that they are much narrower at the lower part than at the angle, obliquely costate, and striated by the incremental lines. The ribs are very thick (12 on the penultimate whorl), subacute at their edge, and almost adjacent to one another at their bases, thinner and at times sublamellar at the upper extremities, and very obliquely flexuous from the angle downwards. On the last whorl they gradually become obsolete below the middle.

The fungus' imperfectly globose ascomata range from 180-300 μm in diameter containing a short broad neck and express strong pigmentation in the upper region. Their two-celled ascospores are arranged uniseriately with one cell conspicuously bulging featuring dark brown patches. The authors did not observe an asexual or anamorphic state, however the sexual colonies grow very slowly on cherry decoction agar, reaching 50 mm after 30 days at 21 °C with no growth found when placed in the same medium at 30 °C. Z. ebriosa also exhibit cylindrical asci and contain ostioles atypical of the Zopfiella however, within the species, variation has been found when discussing ostiole presence.

Cupressus funebris is a medium-sized coniferous tree growing to 20–35 m tall, with a trunk up to 2 m diameter. The foliage grows in dense, usually moderately decumbent and pendulous sprays of bright green, very slender, slightly flattened shoots. The leaves are scale-like, 1–2 mm long, up to 5 mm long on strong lead shoots; young trees up to about 5–10 years old have juvenile foliage with soft needle-like leaves 3–8 mm long. The seed cones are globose, 8–15 mm long, with 6-10 scales (usually 8), green, maturing dark brown about 24 months after pollination.

The genus Coniothyrium and Thielavia may have been assigned to Pseudothielavia terricola due to similar defining characteristics that highly resmbles the fungi. Coniothyrium in the broad sense. is defined to be unicellular, smooth thin cell wall, pale-brown conidium, and a pycnidia structure with globose cavity. Thielavia, on the other hand, is defined to have a non-ostiolate, glabose, setose ascomata, a brown thin cell wall, ellipsoidal to clavate asci, and unicellular, brown, single-germ pored ascospores As will be demonstrated in the subsequent Growth and morphology section, defining characteristics of Coniothyrium coincides partially with Pseudothielavia terricola while defining characteristics of Thielavia fits Pseudothielavia terricola almost perfectly.

A variety of different gastropod shells are used by C. erythropus, the most frequent being Littorina striata, Mitra, Nassarius incrassatus and Stramonita haemastoma, which collectively account for 85% of all the individuals studied in the Azores; in the Mediterranean, shells of Cerithium, Alvania montagui and Pisania maculosa are most used by C. erythropus. Like other hermit crabs, C. erythropus feeds on "organic debris, decayed and fresh macro-algae with associated fauna and epiphytic algal flora, small invertebrates, and macroscopic pieces of dead and live animal tissues". It has been shown that C. erythropus individuals select substrates where they can cover large distances, and that globose shells allow them greater mobility than elongate ones.

Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, the elephant foot yam, a species cultivated in the tropical Indo-Pacific for their edible corms These small to massive plants grow from a subterranean tuber. Amorphophallus tubers vary greatly from species to species, from the quite uniformly globose tuber of A. konjac to the elongated tubers of A. longituberosus and A. macrorhizus to the bizarre clustered rootstock of A. coaetaneus. From the top of this tuber a single leaf, which can be several metres across in larger species, is produced atop a trunk-like petiole followed, on maturity, by a single inflorescence. This leaf consists of a vertical leaf stalk and a horizontal blade, which may consist of a number of small leaflets.

Depending on environmental conditions, N. mantalingajanensis may grow as a compact rosette or produce an upright stem 30–60 cm tall. Internodes are circular in cross section and up to 1 cm in diameter. The species does not appear to produce a climbing stem. A particularly globose lower pitcher of this species Leaves are petiolate to sub-petiolate and coriaceous in texture. The lamina (leaf blade) is broadly lanceolate in shape and can reach 20 cm in length by 6 cm in width. The apex of the lamina is typically acute or obtuse, but may be sub-peltate, with the point of tendril attachment being up to 4 mm from the apex.

Ornithogalum species are perennial bulbous geophytes with basal leaves. Sensu lato, the genus has the characteristics of the tribe Ornithogaleae as a whole, since the tribe is monotypic in that sense. Sensu stricto, the genus is characterised by long linear to oblong-lanceolate (lance-shaped) leaves, sometimes with a white longitudinal band on the adaxial (upper) side, an inflorescence that is corymbose or pseudocorymbose, tepals that are white with a longitudinal green band only visible on the abaxial (lower) side, a capsule that is obovate or oblong, and truncate with six noticeable ribs in section and seeds that are globose with a prominently reticulate (net-like pattern) testa. The bulbs are ovoid with free or concrescent scales.

The fruit is a globose pink to red compound berry 2–3 cm in diameter, though these berries tend to grow larger towards the end of the season and some berry clusters that do not fall from the tree exceed 4 cm. It is edible, with a sweet and creamy flavour, and is a delicious addition to the tree's ornamental value. The fruit is sometimes used for making wine. It is resistant to the dogwood anthracnose disease, caused by the fungus Discula destructiva, unlike C. florida, which is very susceptible and commonly killed by it; for this reason, C. kousa is being widely planted as an ornamental tree in areas affected by the disease.

Besides geographical difference, L. amethysteo-occidentalis differs from L. amethystina in several ways: ecologically, the former occurs only in association with conifers, while the latter occurs mainly with hardwoods of the order Fagales. The sporocarp of L. amethysteo-occidentalis is on average larger than that of L. amethystina, and has a deeper purple coloration, that fades to vinaceous rather than brownish shades. The spores are also quite distinct between the two, in that the spores of L. amethysteo-occidentalis are not as strongly globose as those of L. amethystina, being generally of a subglobose or even broadly ellipsoid shape, and additionally having much shorter spines than the spores of L. amethystina.Mueller, 1984.

Deep dissection of brain-stem showing decussation The decussation of superior cerebellar peduncle is the crossing of fibers of the superior cerebellar peduncle across the midline, and is located at the level of the inferior colliculi. It comprises the cerebellothalamic tract, which arises from the dentate nucleus (therefore also known as dentatothalamic tract), as well as the cerebellorubral tract, which arises from the globose and emboliform nuclei and project to the contralateral red nucleus to eventually become the rubrospinal tract. It is also known as horseshoe-shaped commissure of Wernekinck. It is important as an anatomical landmark, as lesions above it cause contralateral cerebellar signs, while lesions below it cause ipsilateral cerebellar signs.

Resting on or near the basal lamina of the olfactory epithelium, basal cells are stem cells capable of division and differentiation into either supporting or olfactory cells. While some of these basal cells divide rapidly, a significant proportion remain relatively quiescent and replenish olfactory epithelial cells as needed. This leads to the olfactory epithelium being replaced every 6–8 weeks. Basal cells can be divided on the basis of their cellular and histological features into two populations: the horizontal basal cells, which are slowly dividing reserve cells that express p63; and globose basal cells, which are a heterogeneous population of cells consisting of reserve cells, amplifying progenitor cells, and immediate precursor cells.

Ascospores found within the ascoma, are oblate (shaped like an M&M; candy) and yellow-yellowish brown in color when observed in transmitted light microscopy. Typically, the lateral sides of these ascospores are smooth with a bumpy, pitted equatorial edge. Ascospores of this fungus are similar in appearance (morphology) to those of A. terreus by Apnis (Cano & Guarro, Randhawa & Sandhu) A. clathratus and A. hispanicus by Cano & Guarro. Ascospores of A. terreus and A. hispanicus are small, pitted and diamond-shaped (rhomboid), whereas A. clathratus has circular (oblate) ascospores with reduced pitting. Ascomata are spherical (globose) to oval (subglobose), pale yellowish brown to dark reddish brown in color, and range from 280-800 µm in diameter.

Juniperus standleyi is an evergreen coniferous shrub or small to medium-sized tree growing to 5–15 m (rarely 20 m) tall. The leaves are of two forms, juvenile needle-like leaves 5–7 mm long on seedlings and occasionally (regrowth after browsing damage) on adult plants, and adult scale-leaves 1–1.5 mm long on older plants; they are arranged in decussate opposite pairs or whorls of three. The cones are globose, berry-like, 6–9 mm diameter, blue- black with a thin pale waxy coating, and contain three to six seeds; they are mature in about 18 months. The male cones are 1.5–2 mm long, and shed their pollen in spring.

Colonies are white with a spider web-like texture and sparse growth; they have a garlic-like aroma and can measure up to 7.5 cm in diameter after 5 days at 20 °C on malt extract agar. Sporangiophores in this species measure 300-500 μm long: they are 12.5-20 μm wide at the base, being reduced to 3.5-5 μm at the tip. They can be single or come in clusters; primary branches are present mostly in the upper part of the sporangiophore and they may give rise to secondary and tertiary branches of 12-90 μm long. Sporangia are brown, round (globose), with a diameter of 37-75 μm and they can contain 4-20 spores.

The species epithet 'candidus' was first used by Link in 1809, and later in 1824, he added two varieties, A. candidus var. tenuissima and A. candidus var. densior. In 1877, Wilhelm described a species with biseriate sterigmata, globose vesicles, and short conidiophores as A. albus, which shared similarities between the A. albus described by Haller in 1742 and A. candidus described by Link in 1809. One reason for the confusion of identifying different species of fungus was that, two different fungus looked very similar to each other, but one was uniseriate (meaning there is one row of cells on the spore-bearing surface) and the other was biseriate (meaning there are two rows of cells on the spore-bearing surface).

Braya pilosa Braya pilosa is a long-lived perennial flowering plant of the mustard family known by the common name hairy braya. It has one to many stems 4–12 cm long, erect to ascending to almost prostrate and moderately to densely hairy, and can be distinguished from other Braya species by its large flowers and globose fruits with very long styles. The plant arises from a tuft of basal leaves, with white flowers arranged in dense clusters. Its range is limited to the unglaciated portions of Cape Bathurst and Baillie Islands on the shore of the Beaufort Sea in the Northwest Territories, and it is listed at G2 - imperiled by NatureServe and endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).

The species differ in size and general appearance and in the character of the fronds, which are evergreen, persisting for 1-2 years, pinnate or pinnatifid (rarely simple entire), and from 10-80 cm or more long. The sori or groups of spore- cases (sporangia) are borne on the back of the frond; they are globose and naked, not covered with a membrane (indusium). Polypodies have some use in herbalism, but are today most important in horticulture where several species, hybrids, and their cultivars like Polypodium 'Green Wave' are commonly used as ornamental plants for shady locations. Polypodium have a bitter-sweet taste and are among the rather few ferns that are used in cooking; in this case as a spice e.g.

White matter forms the bulk of the deep parts of the brain and the superficial parts of the spinal cord. Aggregates of grey matter such as the basal ganglia (caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus, nucleus accumbens) and brainstem nuclei (red nucleus, cranial nerve nuclei) are spread within the cerebral white matter. The cerebellum is structured in a similar manner as the cerebrum, with a superficial mantle of cerebellar cortex, deep cerebellar white matter (called the "arbor vitae") and aggregates of grey matter surrounded by deep cerebellar white matter (dentate nucleus, globose nucleus, emboliform nucleus, and fastigial nucleus). The fluid-filled cerebral ventricles (lateral ventricles, third ventricle, cerebral aqueduct, fourth ventricle) are also located deep within the cerebral white matter.

Hesperocyparis macrocarpa is a medium-sized coniferous evergreen tree, which often becomes irregular and flat-topped as a result of the strong winds that are typical of its native area. It grows to heights of up to 40 meters (133 feet) in perfect growing conditions, and its trunk diameter can reach 2.5 meters (over 8 feet). The foliage grows in dense sprays which are bright green in color and release a deep lemony aroma when crushed. The leaves are scale-like, 2–5 mm long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots; seedlings up to a year old have needle-like leaves 4–8 mm long. The seed cones are globose to oblong, 20–40 mm long, with 6–14 scales, green at first, maturing brown about 20–24 months after pollination.

Androgynous inflorescences usually with female flowers at proximal nodes and male flower at distal nodes. Flowers unisexual, apetalous, disc absent. Male flowers very small, shortly pedicellate, globose in bud; calyx parted into 4 small valvate sepals; stamens 4–8(–16) on a slightly raised receptacle, filaments free or basally connate; anthers with divaricate or pendulous thecae, unilocular, more or less elongated and later becoming vermiform; pollen grains oblate-spheroidal, with 3–5 pseudopores, tectate, psilate; pistillode absent. Female flowers generally sessile or subsessile, pedicellate in a few species; calyx of 3– (4–5) small sepals imbricate, connate at base; ovary of [1–2]3 carpels, surface often muricate, pubescent or papillose; ovules solitary in each cell, anatropes; styles reddish, free or basally connate, several times divided into filiform segment, rarely bifid or entire; staminodes absent.

The cones are globose to ovoid, 4–7 cm long and 3–5 cm broad when closed, green at first, ripening yellow-brown when 16–18 months old, with only a small number of thin scales, typically 6-18 fertile scales. The cones open to 5–7 cm broad when mature, holding the seeds on the scales after opening. The seeds are 12–15 mm long, with a thick shell, a pink endosperm, and a vestigial 2 mm wing; they are dispersed by the Mexican jay, which plucks the seeds out of the open cones. The jay, which uses the seeds as a major food resource, stores many of the seeds for later use, and some of these stored seeds are not used and are able to grow into new trees.

Juniperus semiglobosa is an evergreen coniferous shrub or small to medium-sized tree growing to (rarely ) tall, with a trunk up to (rarely to ) diameter with flaky bark. The leaves are of two forms, juvenile needle-like leaves 3–7 mm long on seedlings and occasionally (regrowth after browsing damage) on adult plants, and adult scale-leaves 1–2 mm long on older plants; they are arranged in decussate opposite pairs or whorls of three. The cones are flattened globose (from which the name semiglobosa) to bi-lobed or triangular, berry-like, 4–6 mm long and 4–8 mm across, blue-black, and contain two or three seeds; they are mature in about 18 months. The pollen cones are 3–5 mm long, and shed their pollen in spring.

According to Allan Cunningham it appeared from a sod of earth containing a Cephalotus, collected by Phillip Parker King from same location, and flowered to provide the source of the illustration by Franz Bauer. The description was "Whole plant, in general aspect, very much resembling the M. parviflora represented in our last plate, but more than twice the size. The flowers too are extremely similar, and the chief difference is to be found in the lip, which is here larger in proportion to the rest of the flower, and it is singularly wedge-shaped, truncated, and obtuse, even retuse at the extremity :–the disk being moreover furnished with two oblong, warty callosities, and the margin of the lower half and apex, with several globose, tuberculated processes".Cunningham, Allan; Bauer, Franz; et al.

Baudriller (1880) described Ulmus montana serpentina as "a curious variety which, top-grafted, forms by the entanglement of its vigorous branches a superb parasol", and Henry (1913) as "a small tree with curved and twisted pendulous branches, a dense pyramidal or globose crown, and leaves and branchlets similar to those of U. × hollandica 'Major' ".Hilliers' Manual of Trees & Shrubs. (1977). David & Charles, Newton Abbot, UK. An U. serpentina was described in the journal Nature in 1918: "The branches are curiously contorted and reflexed, while all the shoots from one to three years old are pendulous rods,which, with the beautiful foliage, form an exterior covering reaching to the ground". Krüssman, who listed a 'Serpentina' under U. glabra, described it (1984) as a weeping elm with "twisted corkscrew-like branches" and leaves "like those of U. 'Camperdownii'".

Trifolium hybridum, alsike or Swedish clover, is a perennial which was introduced early in the 19th century and has now become naturalized in Britain. The flowers are white or rosy, and resemble those of Trifolium repens. Trifolium medium, meadow or zigzag clover, a perennial with straggling flexuous stems and rose-purple flowers, has potential for interbreeding with T. pratense to produce perennial crop plants. Other species are: Trifolium arvense, hare's-foot trefoil; found in fields and dry pastures, a soft hairy plant with minute white or pale pink flowers and feathery sepals; Trifolium fragiferum, strawberry clover, with globose, rose-purple heads and swollen calyxes; Trifolium campestre, hop trefoil, on dry pastures and roadsides, the heads of pale yellow flowers suggesting miniature hops; and the somewhat similar Trifolium dubium, common in pastures and roadsides, with smaller heads and small yellow flowers turning dark brown.

It is a cycad with a globose stem, at least partly underground, up to 2 m high and with a diameter of 25-30 cm. The leaves, pinnate, 90–150 cm long, are arranged in a crown at the apex of the stem and are supported by a 2.5–5 cm long petiole, without thorns; each leaf is composed of 40-50 pairs of lanceolate leaflets, with entire margins, on average xx-xx cm, greyish-green in color. It is a dioecious species with male specimens that have up to 8-10 ellipsoid cones, 12–20 cm long and 6–8 cm broad, pedunculated, and female specimens with solitary cylindrical, pendulous cones, 23–35 cm long and with a diameter of 18–20 cm, yellowish-brown in color when ripe. The seeds are coarsely ovoid, covered by a reddish-colored sarcotesta.

Canna 'Florence Vaughan' is a medium Crozy Group canna cultivar; green foliage, oval shaped, branching habit; oval stems, coloured green; flowers are open, yellow with red spots, staminodes are medium size, edges regular, fully self-cleaning; fertile both ways, not self-pollinating or true to type, capsules globose; rhizomes are thick, up to 3 cm in diameter, coloured white; tillering is average. Introduced by A. Crozy, Lyon, France in 1892. In the 1990s there was confusion over this heritage cultivar and an Italian Group cultivar with pale yellow background and orange blobs (correctly called C. 'Roma') was widely called by this name. Several other similar Italian Group cultivars were also given this name as a synonym, but examination of the evidence from early adverts and catalogues shows there is no grounds for confusing these cultivars with C. 'Florence Vaughan'.

Flowering Yoshino cherry trees on Pilgrim Hill Pilgrim Hill lies to the southwest of Conservatory Water, just inside the park entrance at 5th Avenue and on the north side of 72nd Street. Its slopes are popular among locals for sledding in the winter when Central Park receives 6 inches of snow, for groves of pale flowering Yoshino cherry trees as they burst into bloom in the spring, and for picnics and lounging in warmer months. The slopes are dotted by Prunus serrulata and other specimen trees, notably a globose European Hornbeam and nine species of oak, all set in rolling lawn. They are surveyed by artist John Quincy Adams Ward's bronze statue of The Pilgrim, a tall stylized representation of one of the Pilgrims, British immigrants to the New World led by William Bradford who left from Plymouth, England, in the cargo ship Mayflower in September 1620.

Hawaiian Vaccinium (blueberries) is a monophyletic group (a clade including all extant species and their common ancestor) comprising three species endemic to the archipelago of Hawaii: Vaccinium reticulatum, Vaccinium dentatum and Vaccinium calycinum, commonly known in Hawaii as ʻōhelo. While Vaccinium as a larger group is characterized by an inferior ovary and brightly-colored berries that are indehiscent, the Hawaiian group has traditionally been distinguished as having uniquely well-developed calyx lobes and longer calyx tube depth, more cylindrical corolla shape (as compared to urceolate-globose), reduced or absent staminal awns (as opposed to well-developed), longer pedicel length, and — compared with temperate relatives — much longer leaf persistence. They are terrestrial or epiphytic shrubs, typically 1 - 6 feet in height, occasionally up to 10 feet, ranging widely throughout the Hawaiian islands over relatively high elevation (500 - 3,700 m). The three species thrive in many plant communities, except for Vaccinium reticulatum, which tends to thrive around lava flows, yet is not limited to them.

A large number of terms are used to describe seed shapes, many of which are largely self-explanatory such as Bean-shaped (reniform) – resembling a kidney, with lobed ends on either side of the hilum, Square or Oblong – angular with all sides more or less equal or longer than wide, Triangular – three sided, broadest below middle, Elliptic or Ovate or Obovate – rounded at both ends, or egg shaped (ovate or obovate, broader at one end), being rounded but either symmetrical about the middle or broader below the middle or broader above the middle. Other less obvious terms include discoid (resembling a disc or plate, having both thickness and parallel faces and with a rounded margin), ellipsoid, globose (spherical), or subglobose (Inflated, but less than spherical), lenticular, oblong, ovoid, reniform and sectoroid. Striate seeds are striped with parallel, longitudinal lines or ridges. The commonest colours are brown and black, other colours are infrequent.

The flowers are produced in racemose clusters of two to five together at nodes on short spurs in spring at the same time as the new leaves appear; they are white to pink, with five petals in the wild type tree. The fruit of the prunus serrulate/Japanese Sakura, the Sakuranbo, has differences to the prunus avium/wild cherry, in that sakuranbo are smaller in size and are bitter in taste to the wild cherry; the sakuranbo is a globose black fruit- drupe 8–10mm in diameter. Owing to their bitter taste, the sakuranbo should not be eaten raw, or whole; the seed inside should be removed and the fruit- itself processed as preserves. Because of its evolution, the fruit of the prunus serrulate/Japanese Sakura, the Sakuranbo, developed merely as a small, ovoid cherry-like fruit, but it is not more developed as a small amount of fleshy mass around the seed within; as the prunus serrulate/Japanese Sakura was bred for its flowers, the tree does not go beyond going through the initial motions of developing fruits but they will not ripen and will be incomplete, not producing more flesh surrounding the seed.
