Angiosperm Adaptations
All of our observations have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (the fruit of the plant). The fruit not only protects the seeds, but also aids in their dispersal over a wide geographical range.
An interesting example of seed dispersal can be seen in burdocks, which have burrs (dried fruit with hooks) that attach to furry animals and clothing. The seeds essentially hitchhike rides to different locations.
Kashmir balsam is one of 1,136 known species belonging to the genus Impatiens, commonly referred to as "touch-me-not". Impatiens are most closely related to Hydrocera, which together make up the family Balsaminaceae.
