Phenomorphology of flowering plants deals with starts growing, how long
it grows and what happens the study of temporal changes in the
morphology of to it when it stops growing. Is it being dispersed like
plants and plant organs during their whole life diaspores, does it die
eventually like leaves, or does span. It is in fact the study of the
visible life history it remain alive as part of the plant body during
the of each of the vegetative and generative organs of whole lifespan of
the plant or during part of it, and the plant. Consequently it combines
the use of finally what is its life duration. Generally only the
phenology, which deals with the seasonality of phe- life history of
leaves, stems, flowers and fruits was nophases (Linnaeus 1751), and of
morphology, followed. The following phenophases are de- since the
morphological changes of the plant as a scribed: vegetative growth,
flower bud formation, whole and of its individual organs within and be-
fruiting, dispersal of diaspores, and leaf shedding. tween the
phenophases are described. It is hoped that such a study of plant growth
and Man's interest in plant life goes back to prehis- development will
lead to a better understanding of toric times.
