Narcissus (plant) corona. Floral tubes can range from long and narrow in sections "Apodanthi" and "Jonquilla" to rudimentary ("N. cavanillesii"). Surrounding the floral tube and corona and reflexed (bent back) from the rest of the perianth are the six spreading tepals or floral leaves, in two whorls which may be distally ascending, reflexed (folded back), or lanceolate. Like many monocotyledons, the perianth is homochlamydeous, that is undifferentiated into separate calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals), but rather has six tepals. The three outer tepal segments may be considered sepals, and the three inner segments petals. The transition point between the floral tube and
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
