grass, any of many low, green, nonwoody plants belonging to the grass family (Poaceae), the sedge family (Cyperaceae), and the rush family (Juncaceae). There are many grasslike members of other flowering plant families, but only the approximately 10,000 species in the family Poaceae are true grasses. They are economically the most important of all flowering plants because of their nutritious grains and soil-forming function, and they have the most-widespread distribution and the largest number of individuals. Grasses provide forage for grazing animals, shelter for wildlife, construction materials, furniture, utensils, and food for humans. Some species are grown as garden ornamentals, cultivated as turf for lawns and recreational areas, or used as cover plants for erosion control. Most grasses have round stems that are hollow between the joints, bladelike leaves, and extensively branching fibrous root systems. Dioscoreales, the yam order of flowering plants, belonging to the monocotyledons (characterized by a single seed leaf) and containing three families, about 22 genera, and more than 1,000 species. Under the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) botanical classification system, the order contained five families: Dioscoreaceae, Burmanniaceae, Taccaceae, Thismiaceae, and Tricopodaceae. Under the revised APG II system, Taccaceae and Thismiaceae are included in Dioscoreaceae, Tricopodaceae is included in Burmanniaceae, and Nartheciaceae is added to the order. For more information on the APG II system, see angiosperm. Species in this order are twiners or herbs of the forest floor and are sometimes achlorophyllous and saprophytic. The leaves often have a nonsheathing base, a distinctive petiole, and reticulate-veined lamina, or they are small and scalelike with sheathing bases. The flowers are actinomorphic, bisexual or unisexual (dioecious), and with a conspicuous or reduced perianth. The fruits are often dry capsules or berries and in some taxa contain numerous tiny seeds. Many members of Dioscoreales are found in tropical and subtropical habitats. Dioscoreaceae, or the yam family, contains eight or nine genera and some 750 species, many of which produce tuberous roots rich in starch; these tubers are staple foods in many tropical nations. The yampee, or cush-cush (Dioscorea trifida), originated in South America and the West Indies. D. alata, the white yam of India and the Malay Peninsula, is widely cultivated for its enlarged roots. Elephant’s-foot (D. [or Testudinaria] elephantipes), grown in Africa, is used as a famine food. Roots of all these plants contain poisonous alkaloids that are destroyed by boiling. In addition, several steroid compounds were originally obtained from Mexican species of Dioscorea to manufacture contraceptives and medicines. Members of the genus Tacca, or bat flower, are understory herbs found in tropical wet forests, primarily in Southeast Asia, and are sometimes grown as ornamentals. Their umbel-like inflorescences have conspicuous, often dark maroon or black, filiform bracts subtending the flowers. Tacca was placed in its own family, Taccaceae, under APG but is included in Dioscoreaceae under APG II. Similarly, the small genus Trichopus, formerly in its own family Tricopodaceae, is now included in Dioscoreaceae. Burmanniaceae includes 95 species in nine genera and has traditionally been associated with the orchids because of their similar fruits, which contain numerous microscopic seeds. Its placement in Dioscoreales is based primarily on molecular evidence. These small inconspicuous plants lack chlorophyll and are easily overlooked in the understory of the wet tropical forests where they occur. Nartheciaceae, with four or five genera and 41 species, is included in Dioscoreales based on molecular evidence and the common possession of steroidal saponins. The main genus in the family, Narthecium, was formerly included in the family Liliaceae.
Here is a tip for this situation, as someone who has been in this exact situation, please just ignore it, and don’t let their negativity affect you. Because the insults are meaningless and the person behind them is probably a troll. Stay safe and happy! - Your pal, Alastor
Thank you so much! The hate from this person does not make me feel bad about myself. The only reason I posted what they were saying because it was honestly just a hilarious situation! Thanks again for the support and if I ever get *real* hate I will do as you say! ❤️❤️❤️
@@sweetsillysunflower4150No problem, just wanted to tell you because hate can really get to a person. Like in the case of DrachenLord, a German streamer, and a man whose life got ruined when trolls found his location. DrachenLord was very easy to get upset with simple insults. They not only bullied him online but they when to his house and terrorized him. The German government had to get involved and DrachenLord is currently on the run from trolls. So remember to stay safe! - Your pal, Alastor.
