Isithombe: Izigaxa ezintsha ze-Viking hop etafuleni lepulangwe

Isithombe esinokulungiswa okuphezulu, sokuma kwezwe sibonisa amakhoni e-Viking hop asanda kuvunwa ahlelwe phezu kwetafula lepulangwe eliluhlaza, elinsundu ngokumnyama. Ukwakheka kugcizelela imininingwane esondelene, ethintekayo: iqoqo lamakhoni ngaphambili ngokugxila okuhlanzekile, okucijile, kuyilapho amakhoni engeziwe namaqabunga ehlehlela ekufiphaleni okuthambile, okudala umuzwa wemvelo wokujula. Ikhoni ngayinye ye-hop ibonisa ama-bract nama-bracteoles agqagqene ngokuqinile, izikali zawo zishintshashintsha kancane kumathiphu, asuka kokuluhlaza okotshani kwentwasahlobo okugqamile ukuya ku-jade ejulile eduze nesisekelo. Amacebiso amaminithi e-lupulin—uthuli olusagolide oluvaleleke ngaphakathi kwekhoni—asikisela amandla nobusha ngaphandle kokuchitheka ngokweqile obala.

I-leaf matter ihambisana nama-cones, ihlinzeka ngokungafani kombhalo nomongo we-botanical. Amaqabunga ayisundu anemiphetho ehlanekezelwe kanye ne-venation ephinyiselwe; iqabunga elivelele elingaphambili ligoqa ngokucashile kwelinye icala, libamba ukukhanya phakathi nohlaka lwalo. Ama-petioles azacile aphakathi kweqabunga nekhoni, amanye abonisa ama-trichome afiphele. Ithebula le-rustic elingaphansi linesimo sezulu futhi linezinhlamvu: okusanhlamvu okuqondile, amafindo, ukuklwebheka okungashoni, namaphethelo agugile kunikeza ingemuva elinomhlaba elikhulisa ubuqiniso bezolimo. Ukukhanya okuthambile, okuhlukanisiwe—okuvusa ukukhanya kwewindi elisibekele noma umnyango wengobo enomthunzi—kunciphisa ukukhanya okukhazimulayo kuma-waxy bracts futhi kudwebe izithunzi ezincane eziqopha ijiyomethri enezigaxa zamakhoni.

Isigqi esibonakalayo sesithombe sihambisana nokuhlukaniswa ngamabomu: amakhoni kumaqoqo amancane abonisa ukuvuna ngesandla kwakamuva, kuyilapho ezingashadile ezihlakazekile zidala i-asymmetry ethambile evimbela ukuhlelwa ukuthi kuzwakale kusiteji. Ukujula kwenkundla okungajulile—okungenzeka kuzuzwe ngesimbobo esibanzi—kuhlukanisa ikhoni yeqhawe endaweni yesithathu ephansi, ama-bracts ayo ahlukile futhi anobukhulu, kuyilapho izici zangemuva ziwela ku-bokeh ejabulisayo, okunikela esimweni esizolile, sokucabanga. Iphalethi yombala ivinjelwe futhi yemvelo: imifino eluhlaza, amathoni omnqumo athulisiwe, nama-amber afudumele avela okhunini. Ukwehluka okucashile kombala—amathiphu e-bract alula, isikali se-basal esimnyama, nokugqama kwe-petiole eluhlaza okuphaphathekile—ubusha besignali obuphezulu.

Izimfanelo ezingaphezulu zinikezwa ngokucacile: ama-bracts abonakala eveveve kodwa eqinile, amaqabunga abonisa ukuthungwa kwe-matte enobuhwaba obuncane, futhi okusanhlamvu kokhuni kufundeka njengokupholishwa kancane ngokukhula kunokuqeda. Ukungapheleli okuncane—imihuzuko emincane onqenqemeni lwe-bract, i-chip encane esiqongweni setafula, umthambo weqabunga onwebeka eduze nendawo ephezulu—unikeza ukuba ngokoqobo. Ama-cones ngokwawo ahlangene, a-conical-ovoid, anokulinganisa okufanayo kanye nokulimala okuncane komshini, okuhambisana nokuphatha ngokucophelela. Azikho izinto ezingaphandle eziphazamisa isihloko sesayensi yezitshalo; uhlaka lunikezelwe kuma-hops kanye nendaba ethintekayo yesivuno sakamuva.

Ngokwesitayela, isithombe silinganisa ukunemba kwedokhumentari nobuhle obuqhutshwa ubuciko. Ithwebula izigaxa ze-Viking hop hhayi njengokusho okuthile kodwa njengomkhiqizo wezolimo obambekayo olungele ukuhlolwa noma ukufakwa kukhathalogi. Inketho yokukhanyisa ihlonipha imininingwane ngaphandle kokuqhathanisa okuqinile; umbono umema ukutadisha eduze kwe-morphology; ukwakheka kunikeza umongo ngenkathi kugxile kukwakheka kwamacones. Umphumela uwonke uyabungaza buthule—isithombe esisondelene sokusha, ukwakheka, namandla okuphunga—okusekelwe ezintweni zemvelo kanye nomklamo obonakalayo ocabangelayo, ovinjelwe.
