Learn the Structure of Grass Plants (Poaceae) | Morphology of Flowering Plants

Even though grasses (family Poaceae) are flowering plants, the flowers are not the most conspicuous part of the plant. But have you ever seen a grass flower up close? Grasses have spikelets arranged in inflorescences, their leaves are divided into two parts, their stems are called culms, they often have ligules and some of them even auricles! This terminology might be intimidating but after watching this video and seeing real life examples, you will be able to recognize all these grass parts yourself and maybe even be able to identify grasses yourself!

Estou estudando botânica nesse período da faculdade e encontrar esse canal foi uma das melhores coisas que aconteceu! Gosto muito do fato de todos os vídeos possuírem exemplares reais, indo além das ilustrações dos livros didáticos. A botânica é um universo a parte...🌻🌿

super interesting! always wondered about grasses, thanks for the video explanation :)

[@IvyHiebert]

This was so helpful for a course I'm taking! Seeing diagrams and photos of the same structures side-by-side made things very clear. Thank you! :)

Very Well Done! Thank you.

Thank you! ❤️ Maybe one day we will get there. :)

Just stumbled upon your channel and I really like your videos and style. Naming precisely and explaining the structures in detail might be boring to a lot of people - but I love it. I'm a houseplantenthusiast and currently starting to work myself into botany - your videos are a great addition to that. So, thank you - and keep up the good work! :)

[@natureclearly]

Thank you, Patrick! This is very gratifying to hear. Did the houseplants bring you to botany or did it work the other way around? More botany videos are to come, I hope you will find them helpful! 😊

[@patricklangenstroer9510]

I started with houseplants and from there my curiosity steamrolled 😂 Now I'm consuming all kinds of stuff connected to the topic. Botany, photosythesis, soils and its microbiom, permaculture and so on... I'm a very curious person 😅🙈

Thank you so much for the video ! The finals are getting closer and family Poaceae has been so hard to grasp for me. It feels like there is so much terminology and morfology to go through, but you nicely combined it in one video and explained everything nicely. I am not a big fan of this family (maybe because I am alergic :D), but I must say before I started studying I had no idea grasses also have flowers ! Once again I greatly appreciate the real life examples.

[@natureclearly]

Grasses can be quite intimidating exactly for the reasons you mentioned. I'm happy the video helped you understand them a bit better and hopefully you will become a bigger fan of them, but maybe just from a distance since you're allergic :/ But their flowers are pretty amazing, don't you think? :)

[@arthurhamishdent8389]

@@natureclearly The flowers are pretty amazing, at first i didnt want to believe they are actually considered flowers. Now with a bit of a stepback and actually understanding them I must say they are pretty amazing. Especially since they look like no other cllasic family.

Thank you for the video. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, there are not many such good educational videos in Russian, my native language. I would like to mention one small drawback, though. Even botanists sometimes don't know that the thickest part of a grass plant is not the node, but rather the pulvinus. The pulvinus is part of the leaf base, and inside it there is a soft stem, which is still separate from the leaf. The node, on the other hand is the thinnest part of the grass sprout which is beneath the pulvinus.
