Generally, plants have three main parts they are root, leaf, and stem.
Sphermatophyta has some additional parts those are flower, fruit, and seed. Plants
that have flower have a special attraction, it’s caused by the various shapes and
colors of crown. Therefore, our group is interested to indentify flower’s section for
some plants. The purpose of this research is to describe the charateristcs of flower’s
from some plants surrounding the Mathematics and Science Faculty of Malang
State University. This research was done with obvservation some plant’s flowers.
This observation divided into two steps. The first step was took sample of several
flowers, such as Spathoglottis plicata’s flower, Sesbania grandiflora’s flower,
Zinnia elegans’ flower, and Zantedeschia aethiopica’s flower. The second step was
described the characteristics of all those flowers. Spathoglotthis plicata has two
purple petals, three purple sepals, a labellum, and column that consist of stamen
(also known as pollinia) and gynoecium.. Sesbania glandivora has five red petals,
one gynoecium, six stamen, and one green sepal. The shape of the petals are like a
sickle. Zinnia elegants has seventeen pink petals and one sepals. The shape of the
petals are oval and the shape of flower is circle. Zantedeschia aethiopica has one
white petals (flower sheath) and a white spadix. The shape of the petal is like a
shovel.
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
are two millions species of plants which have known and 60% of them can be found
although Indonesia rich in flora’s diversity, just 8000 species which have identified.
That number is estimated only 20% of all of the flora that exist in Indonesia.
Plant’s divided into two big groups. The first group is Phanerogamae.
Phanerogamae plants are flowering plant. It’s also called Anthophyta. The second
group is Cryptogamae. This plant also known as a low level plant or non-flowering
plant.
Generally, plants have three main parts they are root, leaf, and stem. For
spermatophyta has some additional parts those is flower, fruit, and seed. Plant that
has flower has a special attraction, It’s caused by the various shapes and colors of
petals. Therefore, our group is interested to indentify flower’s section from some
State University

THEORY
2. 1 Sesbania grandiflora
Zinnia elegans is the most well known of the 20 or so species in the Zinnia
genus. The wild form is a coarse, upright, bushy annual, to 30 in (76 cm) high, with
solitary daisylike flowerheads on long stems, and opposite, sandpapery, lance
shaped leaves. The ray flowers are purple, the discs yellow and black, and the entire
head is about 2 in (5 cm) across. Gardeners love zinnias and there are at least a
hundred cultivars in a diversity of flower colors and types, some with flowerheads
up to 6 in (15 cm) across. There are zinnias with white, cream, green, yellow,
apricot, orange, red, bronze, crimson, purple, and lilac flowers; zinnias with striped,
speckled and bicolored flowers; zinnias with double, semi-double and dahlia-like
"pompom" flowers; zinnias that range from dwarfs that don't exceed 6 in (15 cm)
in height to cut flower beauties that get 3 ft (0.9 m) tall. Newer varieties are resistant
to powdery mildew and other diseases. 'Old Mexico' is like the wild plant with
single, daisylike flowerheads with wide purple rays.
Zinnias grow easily and prefer well-drained, loamy soil and full sun. They
grow best in dry, warm, frost-free regions, and many kinds are drought-tolerant.
Some may be grown indoors. The uncultivated plant grows to about 30 in (76 cm)
in height. It has solitary flower heads about 2 inches (5 cm) across. The purple ray
florets surround black and yellow discs. The lanceolate leaves are opposite the
flower heads. Flowering occurs between spring to fall.
The species was first collected in 1789 at Tixtla, Guerrero, by Sessé and
Mociño. It was formally described as Zinnia violacea by Cavanilles in 1791.
Jacquin described it again in 1792 as Zinnia elegans, which was the name that Sessé
and Moçiño had used in their manuscript of Plantae Novae Hispaniae, which was
not published until 1890.[10] The genus was named by Carl von Linné after the
German botanist Johann Gottfried Zinn, who described the species now known as
Zinnia peruviana in 1757 as Rudbeckia foliis oppositis hirsutis ovato-acutis, calyce
imbricatus, radii petalis pistillatis. Linné realised that it was not a Rudbeckia.

CHAPTER V
DISCUSSION
Sesbania glandivora has five red petals, one gynoecium, six stamen, and one
green sepal. The shape of the petals are like a sickle. This flower is complex flowers
and arranged likes cluster. The biggest petal called vexilum. The two petals which
are adjacent called carina. If this flower blossoms, it will looks alike butterfly.
Zinnia elegants has seventeen pink petals and one sepals. The shape of the
petals are oval and the shape of flower is circle. The color of stamens are yellow
and the gynoecium located under the anther (head of the stamen). The pollination
of this plant is helped by insect and wind
Zantedeschia aethiopica has one white petals (flower sheath) and a white
spadix. The shape of the petal is like a shovel. This flower is monoecious, small
sized, completed with flower sheath and has axis called spadix. The flowers
arranged on the spadix where the female flowers on the bottom and the male flowers
on the top. The flower sheath and spadix generally known as the flower.
Some of our observation results maybe different with the litterature, that’s
caused by some factors. First, our group doesn’t understand enough about the
morphology of flower. Second, maybe we make some mistakes on calculating the
number of each flower’s parts.
CHAPTER VI
CONCLUSION
From our observation results above, we can conclude that each flower has a
different characteristics.
a) Spathoglotthis plicata has two purple petals, three purple sepals, a labellum,
and column that consist of stamen (also known as pollinia) and gynoecium.
b) Sesbania glandivora has five red petals, one gynoecium, six stamen, and
one green sepal. The shape of the petals are like a sickle.
c) Zinnia elegants has seventeen pink petals and one sepals. The shape of the
petals are oval and the shape of flower is circle.
d) Zantedeschia aethiopica has one white petals (flower sheath) and a white
spadix. The shape of the petal is like a shovel.
