This plant of a friend seems to only produce calyxes. Is this a genetic thing or could it also be due to some kind of stress? If it is because of genetics, do you think this could be worth saving by taking a cutting?

Wow this argument is making you really mad, the paper addresses that in the beginning, you’ll notice it’s tracking the growth of the initial structure, they are defining the type of bract it is.
They are purposefully avoiding calling the “flower” anything because of the debate between calyx and bract (what i was trying to say). In this they are being extremely specfic about structures and are defining a bract primordium and a perigonal bract.
That’s in the bit you cut out.
They give it away with the term perigonal bract, that’s the part most of the inflorescence grows on, aka the trichomes.
Edit: check out the wiki on the hemp species of plant, I know WP isn’t exactly a perfect source, but like this is what we know now that we’ve studied the biology of the plant:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabaceae
They use the same term for entire growth process dude….
The call it a flower, because a flower includes the calyx, like explained by my multiple images.
Not once does your link show any part of the flower as a bract, it’s always underneath the flowers.
I didn’t leave anything out, it’s an image. I come choose any from any part of the growth, and they all show the same part of branch being the bract. Which isn’t related to flowers.
A solitary flower should have a bract itself…? No? Because how can it exist if you’re saying the outside is the bract…? Your article literally shows the opposite of what you’ve claimed in your original image…. This is how stupid the argument is. It’s not a bract….
I love how you can’t provide anything that says a bract is part of the flower (other than the whole incorrect thing) or what the calyx is. And everything you’ve provided has said something different… pick one dude and stick with it.
I just proved you wrong with your own gotcha example and additional literature, but yeah, this is the nature of the calyx/bract argument.
The additional stuff says different than your other two sources…? Sure that proves me wrong? and what gotcha example?
Your paper shows a bract under the flower structure itself, like my image. So how does that make the outer flower coating a bract…? Please explain with your own words instead of copying pasting others.
Because it seriously looks like you’re just regurgitating information without understanding it. Every source you’ve provided has said and shown something different dude…
Again, no argument, just someone being wrong. It’s like when a flat earther tries to “explain” or argue their side. Sure you can call it what you want, but you’re still never going to be correct…
Man, I’d swear that’s the definition of an argument!
Well, this has been an excellent argument. Thank you for the time!
