aposepalous |

architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more distinct sepals; having the sepals unfused. |
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
haplocheilic |
= simple-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
…ciliate |
|
architecture |
|
Bearing the number of cilia indicated by the prefix. |
…morphic |
|
architecture |
|
Existing within the taxon in the number of distinct structural states indicated by the prefix, the states segregated in different sets of plants or not; as in monomorphic, polymorphic, trimorphic. |
anastomosing |
= net-like, netted, reticulate |
architecture |
tertiary and higher-order laminar veins, excl. veinlets |
Interconnecting more or less regularly. |
discoid 2 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing florets that all have actinomorphic corollas and that are all bisexual, or all functionally staminate, or all functionally pistillate; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
pitcher-bladed |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a pitcher-shaped (ascidiform) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
dichasiiform |
= dichasium-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a dichasium, but not strictly such. |
unifoliolate |
= one-leafleted, single-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
simple 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Externally unitary and comprising only one basic morphological unit; not compound in either sense of that term. |
haplomorphic |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the members of each set of basic floral structures numerous and spirally arranged, the flower hemispheric to conoidal overall. |
capsular |
|
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a capsule. |
taprooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having a taproot. See also diffuse-rooted, fibrous-rooted. |
liguliferous |
= ligulate |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
homomorphic |
> homocladic, homophyllous, homostylous |
architecture |
|
Occurring in only one form within the taxon in point. |
estipulate |
= exstipulate |
architecture |
leaf |
Lacking stipules. |
…merous |
|
architecture |
compound or compound-complex structure |
Having the number of equivalent component parts indicated by the prefix (e.g., petals in a corolla), or having different component sets of equivalent parts of that number in each set (e.g., calyx and corolla in a perianth); as in monomerous, oligomerous, polymerous, tetramerous, trimerous. |
glandless |
= eglandular |
architecture |
|
Lacking glands. |
paripinnate |
= even-pinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
heterostylous |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant, flower |
Having styles that differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
compact |
= congested, crowded |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
pitcher-leaved |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
plant |
Bearing pitcher-bladed (ascidiate) leaves; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
regular |
= actinomorphic |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Radially symmetric; divisible into two essentially equal portions along any median longitudinal plane. See also peloric. |
