apex |
|
Bearing one or more awns (aristae, bristles, setae). |
rostellate |
= small-beaked |
apex |
|
Diminutively rostrate (beaked). |
piliferous |
|
apex |
|
Having a distinct, fine, weak, hair-like portion or protrusion. |
apiculate |
|
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a short, slender, angular tip that is not notably harder or stiffer than the main body of the structure. See also mucronate, mucronulate. |
spinulose |
|
apex |
|
Finely spinose. |
furcate |
= forked; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
rostrate |
= beaked |
apex |
|
Terminating in a relatively long, tapering, more or less rigid point. See also rostellate (small-beaked). |
aristate 1 |
= awned, bristled |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more aristae (awns, bristles, setae). |
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
lamellate |
|
apex |
laminar structure |
Having two small terminal plates of tissue closely parallel to one another and perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. |
sharp |
= acute |
apex |
|
Acutely angular; regularly and more or less straightly attenuate to an angular tip, the sides intersecting at an angle of less than 90°. |
beaked |
= rostrate |
apex |
|
Terminating in a relatively long, tapering, more or less rigid point. See also small-beaked (rostellate). |
bristled |
= aristate, awned |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more bristles (aristae, awns, setae). |
praemorse |
|
apex |
|
Truncate with the distal margin irregular or ragged, as if chewed. |
small-beaked |
= rostellate |
apex |
|
Diminutively beaked (rostrate). |
rounded |
|
apex |
|
Convex overall and more or less regularly curved. |
hooked |
= hamate, uncinate |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
oblique 1 |
|
apex |
|
Asymmetric about its longitudinal axis. |
mucronate |
|
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a short, hard point that is a continuation of vascular tissue. See also apiculate, mucronulate. |
acrid 1 |
= pungent |
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a rigid, relatively short, sharp point composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
