anther, ovary, fruit |
Having the number of locules indicated by the prefix; as in one-loculed, five-loculed. |
polytomous |
= flabelliramous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing more than three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |

= umbel-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling an umbel, but not strictly such. |
pedate |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
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). |
…tepaled |

architecture |
flower, perianth |
Having the number of tepals indicated by the prefix; as in six-tepaled. |
sympodial |
|
architecture |
axes |

architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bracts. |
palmate |
