Plant reproductive morphology is asexual, producing only spores. Similarly, flowers produced by the sporophyte may be described as "unisexual" or "bisexual", meaning that they give rise to either one sex of gametophyte or both sexes of gametophyte. The flower is the characteristic structure concerned with sexual reproduction in flowering plants (angiosperms). Flowers vary enormously in their construction (morphology). A "complete" flower, like that of "Ranunculus glaberrimus" shown in the figure, has a calyx of outer sepals and a corolla of inner petals. The sepals and petals together form the perianth. Next inwards there are numerous stamens, which produce pollen grains, each containing a
Conradina grandiflora to 1.5 centimeters in length. Each flower has a hairy, maroon-tinged calyx of pointed sepals. The flower corolla is about 2 centimeters long, with a funnel-shaped throat and a hairy, lipped mouth. It is lavender in color with darker lavender spots. This species has the largest flowers of the genus "Conradina". The plant flowers year-round. This plant grows on dunes and other landforms with deep, sandy soils, often near the coast. The habitat is generally Florida scrub, and the plant is common in remaining remnants of scrub habitat. It is well-adapted to a regime of frequent fires. It does not
