Biology 2108
Plant Photo Collection
I. A clearly identifiable photo (can be borrowed the internet, or a personal photo), of each of the following divisions. Each photo should be labeled with the correct:
1. Scientific phylum name (e.g. “Pterophyta”)
2. Specific Individual Common Name of the individual species in your photo (e.g. “Resurrection Fern” or “Cinnamon Fern” not just “Fern”
3. where the photo was obtained (i.e. website address, book name….)
v Divisions should be in the following order and numbered accordingly:
1) Bryophyta (mosses)
2) Hepaticophyta (liverworts)
3) Anthocerotophyta (hornworts)
4) Lycophyta (club mosses)
5) Psilotophyta (whisk ferns)
6) Sphenophyta (horsetails)
7) Pterophyta (ferns)
8) Cycadophyta (cycads)
9) Gnetophyta (gnetophytes)
10) Ginkgophyta (Ginkgo)
II. A separate section of three types of pine trees indigenous to Georgia. Along with photos of each type of pine you should include:
1. Common name of the tree
2. Species description (e.g. height, # of pine needles per bunch, pine cone description….)
3. Where the photo was obtained
III. A separate section of three angiosperms (flowering plants) – your photo must include the plants flower. In addition to the photo,
1. Common name of the plant
2. The mechanism by which the flowers are pollinated (i.e. wind, insect, bird….)
3. Where the photo was obtained
Your collection should be neat and organized! PowerPoint or Keynote work well, but others are okay. Be sure to include all details that are asked for in each section. Your collection is worth 50 points of your lab notebook grade. Quality, completeness, and correct identifications will factor into your grade.
** Due by the end of the semester but don’t wait.
Collections are to be written in your own words. DO NOT cut and paste someone else’s species descriptions, with additional information not asked for, littered with hyperlinks, url’s,
etc. Points will be deducted if you do so.
