Tiger nuts which are incorrectly called "nuts" or "
nutlets," thus the origin of their common name, are small about the size of a peanut growing at the rhizome of the plant [13].
Scutella classified as aborted remained immature, were about one-fourth the size of mature scutella, and contained no
nutlets. Other scutella quickly turned from green to yellow and more slowly turned brown in color (Table 3) and only yellow or brown scutella were observed dehiscing.
The presence of Carex
nutlets and Menyanthes trifoliata seeds points to fen peat formation in a shallow coastal area of the lake.
The experiment was begun in late August 1983 by planting
nutlets collected from 50 maternal parents at site 1 in July.
The Betuloideae share features such as laminar secondary bracts and one to three flowers in the pistillate cyme, tepals in the staminate flower, tracheids in wood, pollen with arci and
nutlets with wings.
Micromorphology, anatomy and mixocarpy of
nutlets of selected Micromeria species (Lamiaceae).
Anticipate that the pecan casebearer caterpillar may be wreaking havoc on developing
nutlets in early May, and ask your local extension office for organic spray programs.
FRUIT: 1" strobile with winged
nutlets; NOT ORNAMENTAL.
Cumulative flower production over the 3-wk experimental pollination period, and total number of ripe fruits (the unit formed by the persistent calyx plus the enclosed ripe
nutlets) eventually produced, were determined for each marked inflorescence using methods based on marking individual flowers, as described in Herrera (1991).
Upon maturity, the ovary is a smooth, dry, four-lobed, schizocarpic fruit that fragments into four, single-seeded mericarps (
nutlets).
