lamellate |
|
apex |
laminar structure |
Having two small terminal plates of tissue closely parallel to one another and perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. |
awned |
= aristate, bristled |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more awns (aristae, bristles, setae). |
acrid 1 |
= pungent |
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a rigid, relatively short, sharp point composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
obtuse 1 |
= blunt |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
emarginate |
= notched |
apex |
laminar structure |
Having a relatively small, acute, distal sinus. |
pungent 1 |
= acrid |
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a rigid, relatively short, sharp point composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
truncate 1 |
= abrupt |
apex |
|
Having a distal boundary that is generally straight or plane and approximately perpendicular to the central axis. |
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. |
cuspidate |
|
apex |
|
Tapering gradually to a rigid tip composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
cristate |
= crested |
apex |
|
Having a laterally elongate, relatively thin, irregular or notched protrusion. |
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
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. |
beaked |
= rostrate |
apex |
|
Terminating in a relatively long, tapering, more or less rigid point. See also small-beaked (rostellate). |
concave-tapered 1 |
= acuminate |
apex |
|
Gradually diminishing in width or diameter to a slender tip, the sides longitudinally concave. Corresponds with attenuate for base shape. |
spinose 1 |
|
apex |
|
Terminating in a rigid, tapering, sharp continuation of the central primary vein. See also spinulose. |
syndetocheilic |
= compound-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
flower-bearing |
= floriferous |
architecture |
plant, structure |
Bearing flowers. |
odd-pinnate |
= imparipinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
…seriate 1 |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Multicellular with the number of longitudinal columns of superposed cells indicated by the prefix; as in biseriate, multiseriate, uniseriate. |
microphyllous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing microphylls. |
pseudopetiolate |
|
architecture |
leaf |
Having a distinctly constricted, more or less stalk-like, proximal portion that is evolutionarily derived from the blade, the original petiole reduced to the point of absence or vestigiality; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae). |
apocarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having two or more simple pistils (carpels). |
actinomorphic |
= regular |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Radially symmetric; divisible into two essentially equal portions along any median longitudinal plane. |
petaloid |
= petal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
