  1. 1. Specialized pores along the margins and leaf apex and in the aerial part of plants which release water (guttation).
  2. 2. A minute opening in the ovule of a seed plant through which the pollen tube usually enters.
  3. 3. Cell Spongy layer. The soft chlorophyll-containing tissue of a leaf between the upper and lower layers of epidermis: involved in photosynthesis.
  4. 4. A follicle is a dry unilocular fruit formed from one carpel, containing two or more seeds.

  6. 6. The wall of a ripened ovary; fruit wall. The part of a fruit enclosing the seeds that develops from the wall of the ovary.
  7. 8. Part of the pistil which holds the ovule and is located above or below or at the point of connection with the base of the petals and sepals.
  8. 10. A leaf or division of the calyx. one of the green parts that form the calyx of a flower floral leaf - A modified leaf that is part of a flower calyx.
  9. 14. The stalk of a stamen. Stalk, stem - a slender or elongated structure that supports a plant or fungus or a plant part or plant organ.

  12. 19. The ovule-bearing or seed-bearing female organ of a flower, consisting when complete of ovary, style, and stigma.
  13. 20. A compound inflorescence in which the short pedicels with single flowers of the simple raceme are replaced by racemes.
  14. 22. One of the often brightly colored parts of a flower immediately surrounding the reproductive organs; a division of the corolla.
  15. 23. Fruit of plants of the gourd family, having a fleshy, many-seeded interior and a hard or firm rind, as the gourd, melon, and cucumber.
  16. 25. An inflorescence in which a number of flower stalks or pedicels, nearly equal in length, spread from a common center.
