Look At How I Grow!
Lychee trees are angiosperms that are dicotleyons if you
remember from classification section. Angiosperms are flowering
plants that can produce a fruit that is enclosed with a
pericarp. The pericarp can be considered the “fruits wall”. They
produce two types of flowers: a male flower and female flower.
The female flower has special reproductive structures that are
important in reproducing such as the stigma, style, ovary,
and ovules. In the male flower they have
the stamen and anther. The stamen is where the pollination
occurs before they can reproduce and on tops of the stamen is
the anther. Pollen is produced at the anther and is then carried
to the female flower part called the pistil. At the end of the
pistil the stigma is located there and the pollen is left there.
Then the pollen is travels down the style which leads to the
ovary. The result is a pollinated flower.
