Glossary of plant morphology flowers, a tube or cup-like hypanthium (floral tube) is formed above or around the ovary and bears the sepals, petals, and stamens. There may also be a nectary producing nectar. Nectaries may develop on or in the perianth, receptacle, androecium (stamens), or gynoecium. In some flowers nectar may be produced on nectariferous disks. Disks may arise from the receptable and are doughnut- or disk-shaped. They may also surround the stamens (extrastaminal), be at the stamen bases (staminal), or be inside the stamina (intrastaminal). Finally, the actual reproductive parts form the innermost layers of the flower. These leaf primordia become specialised
Discodermia calyx to cure cancer. Discodermia calyx Discodermia calyx are bowl-shaped sponges that are found in shallow waters in central and southern Japan. These sponges are distributed by the central Kuroshio current and are therefore localized along this current. Like many other sponges, "D. calyx" are very porous. They use the pores in their outer walls to draw in water which they then expel, retaining the nutrients dissolved in the water to nourish themselves. To keep water flowing in and out, the flagella that line their pours beat in either direction. The sponge is most known and used for a molecule that
