Spring beauty grows from a starchy rhizome, where it stores all the energy it made the previous season to fuel its early spring growth. A single pair of elongated oval leaves appears halfway up the short stem. The ...

Plant morphology
Plant morphology or phytomorphology is the study of the physical form and external structure of plants. This is usually considered distinct from plant anatomy, which is the study of the internal structure of plants, especially at the microscopic level. Plant morphology is useful in the visual identification of plants.
