winged 2 |
= alate, saccate, vesiculate |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
stalked 1 |
= pedicellate |
architecture |
flower |
Having a pedicel. |
hollow |
= excavate(d) |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |

= cruciate |
architecture |
corolla, perianth |
Having four petals or tepals disposed in pairs of opposite members, the whole resembling a cross when viewed from above. |
exstipulate |
= estipulate |
architecture |
leaf |
Lacking stipules. |
helicoid-cymose |
> cincinnate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more helicoid cymes. See also scorpioid-cymose. |
chorisepalous |
= aposepalous, dialysepalous, polysepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more distinct sepals; having the sepals unfused. |
polyplicate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Inaperturate with meridional folds, thus appearing longitudinally wrinkled. |
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. |
unifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that are essentially similar in appearance. |
aposepalous |
= chorisepalous, dialysepalous, polysepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more distinct sepals; having the sepals unfused. |
palmatipinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, the first order palmate, the second pinnate. |
continuous 2 |
= solid |
architecture |
pith |
Uninterrupted by cavities and essentially homogeneous in texture at axis maturity. |
wingless 1 |
= exalate |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
monolete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Having a single linear tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from ontogenetic coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |
capsular |
|
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a capsule. |
pulvinate 1 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence axis, petiole |
Having a pulvinus. |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |

Long, slender, unbranched, and more or less straight. |
prop-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing and buttressed by prop roots. |
