dichasium-like |

glomerate |
= agglomerate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomes. |

architecture |
flower, perianth |
Having two or more tepals that are partially or wholly connate. |
exstipitate |
= sessile, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
staminate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional stamens but no functional pistils, thus unisexual and male. |
anastomosing |
= net-like, netted, reticulate |
architecture |
tertiary and higher-order laminar veins, excl. veinlets |
Interconnecting more or less regularly. |
non-septate |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Lacking transverse inter- or intracellular septa or partitions. |
corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
…ovulate |
= …ovuled |
architecture |
megasporophyll, ovary |
Having the number of ovules indicated by the previx; as in biovulate, multiovulate. |
sessile |
= exstipitate, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
articulate(d) |
= jointed |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these articulations (joints) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
dichlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth differentiated into a distinct calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals). |
scaly 2 |
|
architecture |
bud, bulb |
Invested by scale-like (squamiform) structures. |
glomerulate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomerules; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
prickly |
|
architecture |
|
Bearing prickles. |
wand-like |
= virgate |
architecture |
axis |
Long, slender, unbranched, and more or less straight. |
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
exstipulate |
= estipulate |
architecture |
leaf |

homomorphic |
> homocladic, homophyllous, homostylous |
architecture |
|
Occurring in only one form within the taxon in point. |
basiramous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching at or near the base. See also basicauliramous. |
spinescent |
|
architecture |
|
Becoming spinose. |
simple-lipped |
= haplocheilic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
non-stomate-bearing |
= astomatiferous |
architecture |
|
Lacking stomates in the epidermis. |
lidded |
= operculate |
architecture |
|
Having a lid (operculum). |
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
