stolon


Maximum height for Saint Augustine grass?

tropical and subtropical creeping stoloniferouse perennial grass. height (length) of the stolon can vary. if used as a lawn no more than 4cm, else you face possible problems with fungi and thatching


What are some examples of above the ground runner plants?

There are many plants, although you must remember they produce runners as well as flowers and seeds to reproduce, although in most the runner is the dominant form of reproduction: Examples are: Strawberry plants Ivy (although it is a climber it will root where it touches the soil) Chlorophytum


What is the structure of fern?

Ferns mainly consist of 5 parts for its structure which are the Stems, Leaves Roots, Prothallus, and Rhizoids. Stems: the fern stems are called Rhizome and it grows horizontally under the surface of the soil. Some such as the above ground creeping stolon grows up till 20 m. Leaves: the fern leaves are called fronds. The new fern leaves are curled but as they grow bigger they slowly uncurl and form a fern plant. Roots: the underground non-photosynthetic structures that take up water and nutrients from soil. They are always fibrous and are structurally very similar to the roots of seed plants. Prothallus: A green, photosynthetic structure that is one cell thick, usually heart or kidney shaped, 3-10 mm long and 2-8 mm broad. Rhizoids: root-like structures (not true roots) that consist of single cells, water and mineral salts are absorbed over the whole structure.


What are the advanced features of plants belonging to division Gnetophyta?

Gnetophyta are gymnosperms which thrive in arid environments. Because of the desert-like climates in which they thrive, they have adapted very long, flat leaves to take in the proper amount of sunlight. The leaves and the rest of the plant are low to the ground, to prevent excessive heat. They are classified as gymnosperms, and do indeed share more molecular content in common with them than with the angiosperms. They reproduce using the "stolon" method. They plant their cones metres away and continue the trail of leaves. - IQ4U - What IQ4U has described is welwistchia, which is one of the plants in Gnetophyta. Another plant that you may know better is Ephedera, also known as Mormon Tea. Gnetophyta is often unrecognizable from angiosperms due to their angiosperm like leaves (in having reticulate veination). However, what is the most advanced is their reproductive structure, which is currently being argued over in plant systematics as to whether or not it is a flower.
