Is Yangmei a male or a female?
Myrica rubra is divided into male and female, and Myrica rubra is divided into male and female.
Myrica rubra has both male and female flowers on the same plant, and the male and female flowers are just on the same flower. After pollination, the male buds wither, and the flowering period of Myrica rubra is quite short, only one or two days. If you don't pay attention, you won't see it at all
The female flower of Myrica rubra is very small and difficult to see; The male flowers are bigger, and the whole tree is red, which is easy to see.
How does Yangmeishu divide men and women?
Myrica rubra is a dioecious plant, and the male and female forms of Myrica rubra seedlings are the same, so it is impossible to identify male and female plants at their seedling stage and during their growth. Only when they are ready to bloom can they be identified from their flower shapes.
Male inflorescences solitary or clustered in leaf axils, cylindrical, 65,438+0-3 cm long, usually spicate, sparsely branched at the base, and the basal bracts are sterile. Pregnant bracts are nearly round, entire, hairless on the back, only covered with glands, about 65,438+0 mm long, and each bract bears 65,438+0 male flowers. Male flowers have 2-4 ovate bracts and 4-6 stamens; Anthers elliptic, dark red, glabrous.
Female inflorescences are often solitary in leaf axils, shorter and thinner than male inflorescences, and 5- 15 mm long. Bracts are similar to male flowers, closely arranged in an imbricate arrangement, and each bract axil has 1 female flower. Female flowers usually have 4 ovate bracteoles; The ovary is ovoid, tiny and hairless, with a very short style at the top and two bright red slender stigmas. The inside of the stigmas are papillae on the surface of the stigmas. Only the upper part of each female inflorescence 1 (sparse 2) female flowers can develop and bear fruit.
