University of Florida researchers say a plant called rhizoma perennial peanut is gaining popularity as a groundcover. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The root or rhizoma is horizontal, progressive, jointed, and fibrous at the joints, and nearly 2in. in diameter; it may be clearly traced on the surface, but the fibrous parts go very deep. ❋ John Wood (N/A)
In my opinion, four conditions are strictly necessary in order to establish this native orchid in our garden: (1) A strong specimen with a goodly portion of the rhizoma attached; (2) Firm or solid planting during autumn; (3) Moist situation; (4) Shade from the mid-day sun. ❋ John Wood (N/A)
Further examination of the thing, especially of the base of the stipes and the adjoining part of the rhizoma, threw me back almost into my original difficulties. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)
I find that the rhizoma is entirely covered with ramenta, which are brown, much detached at the base, and obviously represent a low form of leaf, i.e. in appearance, perhaps partly in function, but not in structure. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)
The instruments used are wooden-lipped with iron crowbars, by which the soil is displaced; this answers but very imperfectly for a pickaxe: small wooden shovels, baskets for carrying up the soil, etc., buckets of bark to draw up the water, bamboos, the base of the rhizoma forming a hook for drawing up the baskets, and the Madras lever for drawing up heavy loads. ❋ William Griffith (N/A)
This is the rachis – and down here below this, is the rhizoma; and the little seed places that come on the back of the frond, are thecæ. ❋ Unknown (1864)
If you have any in flower and don't mind sacrificing one with a bit of the rhizoma, and would put it in spirit for me, I could settle one or two points still wanting. ❋ Thomas Henry Huxley (1860)
This is the rachis -- and down here below this, is the rhizoma; and the little seed places that come on the back of the frond, are thecae. ❋ Susan Warner (1852)
Nymphaea and its rhizoma form the principal food of the natives; the seeds contain much starch and oil, and are extremely nourishing. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The natives were remarkably kind and attentive, and offered us the rind of the rose-coloured Eugenia apple, the cabbage of the Seaforthia palm, a fruit which I did not know, and the nut-like swelling of the rhizoma of either a grass or a sedge. ❋ Ludwig Leichhardt (1830)
The principal food of these inhabitants of the Kalare or Lachlan appeared to be balyan, the rhizoma, as already stated, of a monocotyledonous plant or bulrush growing amongst the reeds. ❋ Thomas Mitchell (1823)
Barney the native however soon set me right by taking up the root of a large reed or bulrush which grew in a dry lagoon hard by, and by showing me how the natives extracted from the rhizoma a quantity of gluten; and this was what they eat, obtaining it by chewing the fibre. ❋ Thomas Mitchell (1823)
UF is evaluating almost 40 rhizoma perennial peanuts, some of them suited to ornamental use, he said. ❋ Unknown (2010)
They require about half the water turfgrass does, and need little fertilizer-like most legumes, rhizoma perennial peanuts produce their own nitrogen. ❋ Unknown (2010)
To spur interest, UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences has released two rhizoma perennial peanuts for ornamental use, Arblick and Ecoturf. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Sometimes called pintoi perennial peanut, the non-rhizoma plants are suitable for South Florida but aren't as cold-tolerant as rhizoma varieties, he said. ❋ Unknown (2010)
(Osmunda regalis) _, Mr. Newman observes, that "the rhizoma [root-stock], when cut through, has a whitish centre or core, called by old Gerarde in his _Herbal_, 'the heart of Osmund the waterman.' ❋ Various (N/A)
