Brassicaceae
Brassicaceae, formerly known as Crucifereae, is named for its Cross-like (Cruciferous) flower. Unique in the plant world for having 4 petals, Rapaseed does not follow Fibonacci’s sequence.
The fruit of Rapaseed is refined to make Canola oil. With 30-40% high sugar content it makes an excellent source of food for pollinators. Rapaseed is self-fertile, and has shown in testing that pollination with its own pollen results in seeds 19% heavier than pollination from another Rapaseed. Brassicas are unique for containing more agricultural crops than any other family, consisting of Cabbage, Radish, Mustard, Horseradish, Turnips, Kohlrabi, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, & Cauliflower. Rapaseed lends itself to teaching the formidable “Triangle of U” concept. One petal is removable for detailed study of the stepal and stamen. A ripe pod, magified 3x life-size is depicted in cross section, removable from base. 11 x 9½ x 14”
The Canola Blossom (Brassica napus ssp. oleifera) Model (005-1000531) is an enlarged, highly detailed botanical model that illustrates the floral structure of the canola plant. Key components such as petals, sepals, stamens, pistil, and ovary are clearly represented, making it an excellent teaching tool for understanding plant reproduction and the anatomy of oilseed crops.
Ideal for biology classrooms, agricultural studies, and botany labs, this model helps students visualize pollination, fertilization, and seed formation processes. Its enlarged size allows for close examination of structures that are difficult to observe in real specimens, making it a valuable resource for both basic and advanced plant science education.
Durable and built for repeated use, the Canola Blossom Model is perfect for schools, universities, and agricultural training programs focused on crop biology and plant reproduction.
