|
…gonal |
= …angular |
plane shape |
|
Having more or less straight sides of the number indicated by the prefix; as in pentagonal, trigonal. See also deltate, …gonous (…angled). |
|
gongylodate |
= gongyloid, knob-shaped, knot-shaped, nodiform |
solid shape |
|
Approximately globose, the surface convoluted or not, like a knob or knot; usually applied only to structures or components that are relatively small. |
|
gongyloid |
= gongylodate, knob-shaped, knot-shaped, nodiform |

|
Approximately globose, the surface convoluted or not, like a knob or knot; usually applied only to structures or components that are relatively small. |
|
…gonous |
= …angled |
solid shape |
|
Elongate with the number of longitudinal angles indicated by the prefix, the intervening sides transversely straight to concave; as in hexagonous, trigonous. See also deltoid, …gonal (…angular), obdeltoid, triquetrous. |
|
grain (not recommended) |
= caryopsis; < achene |
nominative |
fruit |
The achene of a grass [Poaceae (Gramineae)] Although in traditional use grain (or caryopsis) has been treated as a type separate from achene, they do not differ in basic morphology. |
|
granular |
= granulate, granulose |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
|
granulate |
= granular, granulose |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
|
granuliferous |
= powdery, pulverulent |
coating |
|
Covered with a more or less even deposit of fine, dry particles. See also lentiginous (dusty, lentiginose), which is not clearly distinct in its application. |
|
granulose |
= granular, granulate |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |

coating |
|
Of a grease- or oil-like film. |
|
greasy 2 |
= oily, oleaginous, unctuous |
texture |
|
Liquid or deformably solid, cohesive, and slippery to the touch. |
|
gregarious |

habit |
plants |
Growing in loose aggregations. See also cespitose. |
|

|
SUBSTANCE |
|
A highly viscous and sticky exudate that becomes more or less elastic and/or deformably solid upon drying. Overlaps conceptually with latex. |
