Botany Diagram Tool

Floral Diagram Generator from Floral Formula

Create botanical floral diagrams from floral formula notation. Parse K, C, P, A, and G whorls, show fusion rings, mother axis, bract, and export SVG, PNG, or CSV.

What is a floral diagram generator?

A floral diagram generator turns a floral formula into a schematic top-view drawing of a flower. Instead of drawing a realistic blossom, it maps sepals, petals or tepals, stamens, and carpels into botanical whorls so students can see the structure behind a formula.

Why this tool parses formulas instead of using image AI

  • Floral diagrams are notation diagrams, so part count, whorl order, grouping, fusion, mother axis, and bract placement need to stay predictable.
  • The tool reads common formula patterns such as K4 C4 A2+4 G(2), K(5) C(5) A5 G(2), and P3+3 A3+3 G(3).
  • It renders SVG directly in the browser, so the same formula always produces the same diagram and does not use image-generation credits.
  • SVG, PNG, and CSV export make the result reusable in botany worksheets, lab notes, slides, and study guides.

Supported notation

  • K for calyx or sepals, C for corolla or petals, and P for perianth or tepals.
  • A for androecium or stamens, and G for gynoecium or carpels.
  • Numbers set part counts, plus signs create grouped whorls, and parentheses mark fused parts.
  • The infinity symbol or the word many is capped into a readable schematic ring.

Floral diagram vs floral formula

A floral formula is compact text notation. A floral diagram is the visual plan that shows how the organs are arranged around the flower. Use both together when teaching flower morphology, comparing plant families, or checking whether a student can translate symbolic notation into a diagram.

How to make a floral diagram from a formula

  • Enter a formula using K, C, P, A, and G notation.
  • Choose whether to show labels, the mother axis and bract, and fusion rings.
  • Check the parsed structure list to confirm counts and fusion.
  • Download the final floral diagram as SVG or PNG, or export the parsed whorl table as CSV.
