Pines sterilize the air

The smallest flower in the world

Xerophyta - drought plant

Our planet never ceases to amaze with the diversity of plant and animal species that exist on it, sometimes with amazing abilities.

Selection of the most interesting facts about plants:

1. An amazing plant called Ceratonia of the legume family, which has long been cultivated in the Mediterranean, has a curious property - the size of its fruits is always the same (0.2 g), for which they were very much appreciated by jewelers in the old days, but now this measure is called carat. The scientific name of the genus, by the way, comes from the Greek κεράτιον ( сeratiοn), κέρας ( ceras) "Horn".

2. Among straight-stemmed trees, Australian eucalyptus trees can boast of the highest height, the height of which reaches 150 meters, and sometimes more. The telegraph pole, made from the wood of this tree, is able to withstand the strongest wind, and the root system of the eucalyptus sucks water out of the soil with such force that people use these natural pumps to drain swamps.

3. The record plant is also titanium arum, the flower of which is the largest and reaches a height of 2.27 meters. For the unbearable smell exuded by the plant, titanium arum was nicknamed the "corpse flower": its "aroma" resembles the smell of rotten meat. However, for pollinators - flies and beetles - this smell and bright color are very attractive. Under natural conditions, the flower grows in the jungle about. Sumatra. Titan arum blooms every 20-40 years and blooms for only two days. Around the world, only about 150 cases of its flowering have been officially recorded. A few years ago, visitors to the British Botanical Gardens became happy witnesses of the flowering of this peculiar plant.

4. Another famous large flower is Rafflesia Arnold (Sumatra, Kalimantan, Philippines, etc.). Rafflesia Arnold blooms with single flowers, their diameter is 60-100 cm, and their weight is up to 8 kg. flower publishes bad smell, reminiscent of the smell of rotting meat, which attracts the main pollinators - flies.



5. In the Amazon basin, you can find a plant of the water lily family called Victoria. Its leaves on the surface of the water reach three meters in diameter and can withstand a weight of up to 30 kg.

6. One of the most interesting facts about plants is that the leaves on their trunks and branches are not arranged randomly, but in a certain sequence, having a certain angle of deviation relative to each other. The size of this angle varies depending on the plant itself. So, for an apricot, it is 2/5, for a pear - 3/8, for almonds - 5/13, etc. This arrangement of leaves in accordance with the size of the tree, leaves and growing environment provides them with optimal nutrition, access to light and full growth.

In India, a plant grows under the local name "trick the stomach." After eating 1-2 leaves of the Kalir-kanda plant, a person feels full for a whole week, although the leaves do not contain valuable nutrients. The property of the plant to create the illusion of satiety is used in the manufacture of tablets and infusions from the leaves, which are successfully used by overweight people.

One of unusual plants native to the savannas of the South American country of Paraguay. It is a stevia shrub whose leaves contain a substance resembling saccharin. It is over 300 times sweeter than sugar. This plant is already successfully cultivated in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Laos, Spain and light hand Academician N. I. Vavilov in Russia. There are significant plantations of culture in the Belgorod region. With an extract made from stevia, Belgorod residents sweeten confectionery for diabetics.

SUGAR GRASS. It grows in Central America, mainly in Mexico. From its leaves and flowers, a sweet oily liquid was isolated, which is 1000 times sweeter than sugar. Especially valuable is that, unlike natural sugar, this substance is completely
harmless to diabetics and not conducive to obesity.

In the African savanna grows a herbaceous plant THOUMATOCUS DANNEL. The special substance talin, which is found in its red berries, is 2000 times sweeter than sugar.

An even sweeter plant is the DIOSCOREPHILLUM CUMMINISIA LIANA, which grows in the tropical forests of Nigeria and other West African countries. Sugar, in comparison with its coral-red berries, due to the content of the substance monellin, seems devoid of taste. No wonder, because monellin is 3000 times sweeter than sugar!

And the champion among super-sweet plants is the KETEMF shrub, which grows in the rainforests of West Africa. The sweetest substance in the world, toumatin, was obtained from it. It is sweeter than sugar (hard to imagine) 100,000 times! This substance will be sweet even if toumatin is dissolved at a concentration of 10 g per ton of water!

Scientists believe that growing super-sweet plants could revolutionize the world's sugar industry.

In the tropical forests of West Africa, the SYNSEPALOUM DULCIFICUM shrub grows.

Its red berries, due to the content of miraculin, have an amazing property - to influence the taste sensations of a person. If you chew a few of these small berries before eating, miracles will begin to happen with taste: sour lemon will seem sweeter than orange, and sugar - bitter.

In 1784, dahlia tubers, never seen before, were brought from Mexico to Spain. The Spanish king ordered to zealously protect the secret of the existence of an overseas flower, until in 1805 the German naturalist Alexander Humboldt brought tubers from South America for 20 years of a Mexican plant “unknown” in Europe!

Pines sterilize the air

One hectare of pine forest per day is capable of releasing about 5 kg of volatile phytocides into the atmosphere, destroying numerous microorganisms from the air. So in the forests with growing young coniferous trees, regardless of the geographical latitude and proximity of settlements, in comparison with other green areas, the air is practically sterile, contains only about 200 - 300 bacteria per 1 cubic meter.

In terms of vitamin C content, walnuts are 8 times higher than black currants and 50 times higher than citrus fruits. The B vitamins contained in them contribute to the decomposition of pyruvic acid, which accumulates in the muscles and causes fatigue.

The smallest flower in the world

Do you know which plant has the most small flower in the world? At the duckweed! For a long time it was believed that this was an algae, but then flowers were found in duckweed. But it is still unknown how the number of these plants in the reservoir doubles per day - in a few days duckweed covers the entire surface of the reservoir.

Xerophyta - drought plant

The hairy xerophyta Xerophyta viscosa was named Xerophyta by Antoine Laurent de Jussier (1748-1836), which means "drought plant". This rare herbaceous perennial lives in the stony soils of Natal province in South Africa, on the peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains, has thread-like curved leaves 60 cm long, and flowers 5-6 cm in diameter appear on the plant from November to April. Often this plant is referred to by the alien name of Vellozia viscosa, but Vellozia is a completely different species. Xerophyta is able to live without water in extreme conditions. temperature conditions very long time. University of Cape Town researchers are using xerophyte genes to code for drought tolerant weeds sanguinalis Digitaria and Thaliana Arbidopsis, and will subsequently use xerophyte genes to cultivated plants to increase their resilience.

The largest root system is in plants of arid regions, deserts and semi-deserts.

Their roots reach deep into the earth to reach nearby underground water sources, or extend far out to exploit what little rain falls in the desert.

Consider a few examples of the length of the roots of desert plants.

Central Asian shrub mimosa -7 m;

Alfalfa - over 15 m;

Camel thorn - more than 20 m.

What plant holds the record for the largest root? It turns out that this is an apple tree growing on the porous soils of Nebraska in America. Its roots penetrated to a depth of 1068 m! And if you take the whole root, and even add all your own small roots to it (you get the total length of the root), then its length will be calculated not in meters, but in kilometers. For example, in a 4-month-old winter rye plant, it is 619 km. One of the Finnish botanists in 1954 calculated the total length of the roots of a hundred-year-old pine - about 50 km.

DID YOU KNOW?..

That carrots, beets, radishes are also roots, only roots that have changed their appearance because reserve nutrients are deposited in them. What caused the roots to grow so wide? Otherwise, these roots are called root crops. By the way, root crops are the heaviest roots. In November 1978, the Nedelya newspaper reported, for example, on a giant fodder beet grown by a Tajik farmer. She weighs over 20 kg!

TRUNK

The largest plants are trees of the genus Eucalyptus found in Australia. They can reach 130 m in height with a trunk thickness of 10 m (compare: the height of a 10-storey building is 30 m).

In size, mammoth trees - sequoias - are slightly inferior to eucalyptus trees. The maximum height of these giants of the American continent is judged by measurements made in the last century on a fallen trunk. unique tree in the Sequoia National Park (USA). This tree, called the “father of the forests”, had a height of 120 m from the base to the top. Now botanists consider the maximum height of evergreen sequoia specimens to be 110 m 33 cm. It was with such accuracy that a specimen was measured in Humboldt Sequoia Park in California. He was discovered in 1964 and given his own name "Howard Libby".

WITH ground plants successfully argues for the size of brown algae. Some authors estimate its maximum length at 300 m, others more modestly at only 70 m. It is possible that such algae, wriggling in the water depths, were mistaken by seafarers of the past for a giant sea serpent, often mentioned in sea legends. The largest trunk in the world was at the European chestnut. This tree grows on Mount Etna in Sicily and was measured in 1845 to be 64 m in girth (about 20.4 m in diameter).

SHEET

In Southeast Asia, on the island of Sri Lanka, palm trees from the genus Corypha grow. The blades of the fan-shaped leaves of Corypha reach 8 m in length and 6 m in width. One such sheet can cover half of the volleyball court. They make beautiful and durable umbrellas, painted fans. Corypha is also famous for its inflorescences - they are the largest in the world - 14 m long and 12 m wide.

The Brazilian palm Raffia Tedigera has even larger leaves. On a petiole 4-5 m long, a giant “feather” sways over 20 m long and almost 12 m wide. If you put such a leaf vertically on the ground, it will rise above the 6-story House. A strong fiber is extracted from the stem of raffia, which is used to make brushes and hats.

DID YOU KNOW?..

That the spines of a cactus are its leaves? Victoria Amazonskaya, a relative of our white water lily (water lily), became famous for her large leaves. It is precisely because of the unusual

leaves and grow it aquatic plant in many botanical gardens different countries. The Victoria leaf will withstand not only a small child, but also a schoolboy. He will feel on it just like in a real boat. And some leaves do not go under water with a load of about 50 kg. Moreover, the Victoria sheet does not sink, even when its entire surface is covered with an even layer of sand up to 80 kg. That's how much a grown man weighs! round leaves Victorias are usually no more than 2 m in diameter, but still - giants!

The flowers of Victoria are also famous. When its buds open, it is announced on the local radio. It is in the evening that its snow-white flower opens. It is very large, it can be up to 40 cm and smells good. By morning, its petals turn pink and close. A closed flower falls into the water. By the next evening, it reopens. Now its petals are already painted in lilac-pink tones. During the second night, it gradually darkens, and by morning it closes again and goes under water again. Now forever! Few manage to see such a short living flower of Victoria!

The amazing Velvichia, growing in the deserts of Africa, has only two leaves in its entire life. Its leaves reach a length of 2-3 m. A giant specimen with leaves 6 m 20 cm long and 1 m 80 cm wide is described! Velvichia is famous and interesting for its stem, similar to a stump. The stem can reach 1 m, and according to other sources - 4 m in diameter. This stem gradually grows in thickness over tens and even hundreds of years.

FLOWER

Another giant is Amorphophallus titanic, growing in tropical rainforests. He reached an extraordinary height - 2 m 42 cm! Because of the disgusting smell, the workers caring for him worked in gas masks and changed clothes after work.

And now about the smallest flowers. In central Europe, there is a naked hernia. This plant has a height of only 5-15 cm, and the flower is only 1 mm! But the smallest flowers of duckweed and rootless wolfia (an aquatic plant) are less than 0.5 mm. Despite their microscopic size, duckweed and Wolffia cover areas of water bodies with a solid green carpet.

FRUIT

The Seychelles palm has a large fruit. Even in ancient times, the inhabitants of the western coast of India found unusual nuts brought by the wind (waves), as if sharply drawn in two. They were called Maldives nuts and even for a long time it was believed that these are the fruits of underwater palms that grow on the bottom of the sea. And in 1743, the Seychelles were discovered, and on them - palm trees that give these mysterious nuts. Their size is amazing: diameter 45 cm, weight up to 25 kg.
