radiate 1 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing one or more peripheral series of florets that are pistillate (either fertile or sterile) or neuter and that have zygomorphic corollas, and one or more central series of bisexual or functionally staminate florets that have actinomorphic corollas; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |

Petiolate with the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and otherwise free from the blade. |
capitulescence |
|
architecture |
|
Mode or progressive pattern of bearing capitula (heads); most appropriately described using adjectival terms; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
contractile |
