amphicarpic |
= amphicarpous |
architecture |

taprooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having a taproot. See also diffuse-rooted, fibrous-rooted. |
leaf-like |
= foliaceous |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
…adelphous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct sets of stamens, the sets differing from one another in the arrangements, insertions, positions and/or morphologies of the included stamens, the number of sets indicated by the prefix, at least one set with two or more members; as in diadelphous, monadelphous, triadelphous. |
exstipulate |
= estipulate |
architecture |
leaf |
Lacking stipules. |
haplocheilic |
= simple-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
acaulous |
= stemless |
architecture |
plant |
Lacking any evident, elongate, aboveground stem, other than reproductive axes, at maturity, the leaves and/or reproductive axes arising essentially at substrate level from a very short axis with highly congested nodes. |
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. |
pappose |
|
architecture |
flower, fruit |
Bearing a pappus; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
umbel-like |
= umbelliform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling an umbel, but not strictly such. |
lipped |
= labiate; > bilabiate, one-lipped, two-lipped, unilabiate |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members some or all of whose distal portions form one or two lip-like structures. |
palaceous |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and adnate to it from there to the margin, thus peltate but with the distal portion of the petiole adnate to the blade, the whole shovel- or spade-like. |
amphicarpous |
= amphicarpic |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
brachiate |
|
architecture |
axis |
Having alternate, divaricate branches. |
stoloniferous |
= runnering, sarmentose |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
fenestrate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more or less isodiametric, regularly disposed lacunae. |
adenopetalous 1 |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having petals produced from glandular structures. |
haplomorphic |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the members of each set of basic floral structures numerous and spirally arranged, the flower hemispheric to conoidal overall. |
deliquescent 1 |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally and repeatedly such that the initial axis loses its prominence over the length of the structure and seems to dissolve into the succesive orders of branches. See also excurrent. |
one-leafleted |
= single-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. |
bulbose |
= bulbous |
architecture |
plant |
Growing from and/or bearing bulbs. |
umbellate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more umbels. |
glandless |
= eglandular |
architecture |
|
Lacking glands. |
furrowed |
= colpate, fossulate, grooved, sulcate, valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (furrows). |
semistalked |
= subsessile |
architecture |
structure |
Almost stalkless; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
