|
hollow |
= excavate(d) |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |
|
homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |
|
homocladic |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
Having stems that do not differ distinctly in size, shape and/or constitution. |
|
homogamous 1 |
|
maturation |
bisexual flower |
Having the androecium and gynoecium become functionally mature concurrently. |
|
homogamous 2 |
|
reproduction |
plant, inflorescence |
Having flowers that do not differ in sexual constitution. |
|
homomorphic |
> homocladic, homophyllous, homostylous |
architecture |
|
Occurring in only one form within the taxon in point. |
|
homophyllous |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
Having leaves that do not differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
|
homosporous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Producing only one type of spore, each spore giving rise to a gametophyte that bears gametangia of both sexual types. |
|
homostylous |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant, flower |
Having styles that do not differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
|
honeycombed |
= alveolate |
relief |
|
Having generally uniform, regularly and closely disposed, transversely polygonal depressions overall, the pattern resembling the external aspect of a honeycomb. |
|
hood |
= cucullus |
STRUCTURE |
|
A hood-shaped structure or component, esp. in an inflorescence or flower. |
|
hooded |
= cucullate |
architecture |
|
Bearing, incorporating, or surmounted by a hood-shaped structure. |
|
hood-shaped |
= cucullate, cuculliform |
solid shape |
|
Convex or compressed-convex overall with a distal peak or ridge, relatively thin-walled and essentially hollow with the interior open to one side below the distal portion; resembling a hood or cowl. See also helmet-shaped (galeate, galeiform), which overlaps conceptually. |
|
hooked |
= hamate, uncinate |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
|
hook-shaped |
= unciform |
solid shape |
|
Very slenderly elongate with a more or less straight proximal portion and a recurved terminal portion, the whole resembling a hook. |
|
horizontal |
|
orientation |
|
Parallel to the horizon, perpendicular to the force of gravity. |
|
horn |
= corniculum |
STRUCTURE |
|
