ramiform |
= branched, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
syndetocheilic |
= compound-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
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). |
cancellate |
= clathrate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
diplostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the sepals, the distal whorl with members directly above the petals. See also obdiplostemonous. |
tetradynamous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Diadelphous with four stamens in one set and two in the other. See also didynamous. |
stephanocolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Stephanocolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |
imparipinnate |
= odd-pinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
one-sided 1 |
= unilateral |
architecture |
|
Having only one side, as compared with presumably equivalent, bilaterally symmetric structures. |
single-leafleted |
= one-leafleted, unifoliolate |
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. |
glomerulate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomerules; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
anthelate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
chaffy 2 |
= paleate |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
foliate |
= leaf-bearing |
architecture |
plant, stem |
Bearing leaves. |
ramose |
= branched, ramiform, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
caryophyllaceous |
= diacytic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having two subsidiary cells that together surround it, their common wall oriented perpendicular to its long axis. |
paracytic |
= rubiaceous |
architecture |
stomate |
Having one or more subsidiary cells to either side, all oriented parallel to its long axis. |
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
scorpioid-cymose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more scorpioid cymes. See also cincinnate, helicoid-cymose. |
stephanoporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more than three pores disposed equatorially. |
homocladic |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
Having stems that do not differ distinctly in size, shape and/or constitution. |
imperfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having either stamens or pistils absent or non-functional, thus unisexual. |
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
umbel-like |
= umbelliform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling an umbel, but not strictly such. |
