Magnoliophyta
Ovules (and seeds) enclosed within carpels (fruits); the carpels bearing stigmas upon which the pollen lodges. Pollen produced in the anthers of stamens. Carpels and stamens usually surrounded by a perianth; the whole constituting a flower which may be uni- or bi-sexual (= angiosperms) Magnoliophyta
Flowers usually 3-merous. Leaf venation usually parallel. Embryo with 1 cotyledon Plants usually herbaceous rarely woody and then ± unbranched) Liliopsida
Ovary superior
Flowers grouped into spikelets, each flower covered by a glumaceous bract
Carpels 2 or more, arranged at different levels on a gynophore; perianth absent Centrolepidaceae
Outer floral bracts with a very short blunt tip, never even half as long as the broader basal portion and often almost obsolete. Leaves terminated by a fine hair-like hyaline point. Widespread. Damp or wet sandy soil Centrolepis strigosa
