perfoliate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having a sessile lamina (blade) that uninterruptedly encircles the bearing axis, which thus passes through it at some point within the margin. See also amplexicaulous, connate-perfoliate. |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |

architecture |
corolla, perianth |
Having four petals or tepals disposed in pairs of opposite members, the whole resembling a cross when viewed from above. |

umbellate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more umbels. |

architecture |
|
Having one or more orders of evident vasculature. |
…merous |

Not terminated or surmounted by a head-like structure, esp. when one might be expected. |
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |

papilionaceous |
= butterfly-like |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |

= pitcher-leaved |
architecture |
plant |
Bearing ascidiate (pitcher-bladed) leaves; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
