strobiloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Characterized by a general lack of adnation among the different sets of basic floral structures, any significant degree of fusion limited to connation within sets, thus with ovary(ies) superior and lacking a floral tube. |
aerial-rooted |
> climbing-rooted |
architecture |
plant, structure |
Bearing aerial roots. |
two-lipped |
= bilabiate; < labiate, lipped |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members whose distal portions form two unequal, opposing, lip-like structures, one adaxial, one abaxial. See also gaping (personate, ringent). |
scaly 2 |
|
architecture |
bud, bulb |
Invested by scale-like (squamiform) structures. |
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
stilt-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing and partly supported by stilt roots. |
…flowered |
= …floral |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the number of flowers indicated by the prefix; as in few-flowered, single-flowered, three-flowered. |
pitcher-leaved |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
plant |
Bearing pitcher-bladed (ascidiate) leaves; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
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. |
petiolate |
< stalked |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a petiole. |
spicate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more spikes. |
ascidiate 1 |
= pitcher-bladed |
architecture |
leaf |
Having an ascidiform (pitcher-shaped) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
anastomosing |
= net-like, netted, reticulate |
architecture |
tertiary and higher-order laminar veins, excl. veinlets |
Interconnecting more or less regularly. |
clathrate |
= cancellate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
unstalked |
= exstipitate, sessile, stalkless |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
digitate |
= palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
percurrent 1 |
|
architecture |
primary or secondary laminar veins |
Running through the entire length of the lamina (blade), or all the way to its margin. |
decompound |
|
architecture |
|
Comprising two or more orders of equivalent substructural entities; multiply compound. |
headless 1 |
= acephalous |
architecture |
|
Not terminated or surmounted by a head-like structure, esp. when one might be expected. |
lax |
= loose |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed distant from one another. |
…stamened |
= …androus |
architecture |
flower, floret, androecium |
Having the number of stamens indicated by the prefix; as in twelve-stamened. |
ramiform |
= branched, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
geminicolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having four or more surficial grooves (colpi) disposed in pairs. |
even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
colpate |
= fossulate, furrowed, grooved, sulcate, valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (colpi). |
