Heidy Amanda Herman Moeis - Biologic Observation

On a field trip, I took nuts and flower bud to do my biologic observation.










A bud is an undeveloped shoot and normal occurs in the axil of leaf. It is protected by a covering of modified leaves called scales which tightly enclose the more delicate parts of the bud. When the bud develops, the scales may enlarge, but usually just drop off itself.

Chestnuts have two skins, the first one outer shiny brown husk called perricarpus, the second one thinner skin called pellide. That closely adheres to seeds itself. Chestnuts have a creamy-white colour.
