apex |
laminar structure |
Having a relatively small, acute, distal sinus. |
|
praemorse |
|
apex |
|
Truncate with the distal margin irregular or ragged, as if chewed. |
|
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
|
spinose 1 |
|
apex |
|
Terminating in a rigid, tapering, sharp continuation of the central primary vein. See also spinulose. |
|
lamellate |
|
apex |
laminar structure |
Having two small terminal plates of tissue closely parallel to one another and perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. |
|
…dentate 1 |
= …-toothed |
apex |
|
Generally truncate but with the number of antrorse, attenuate, distal lobes indicated by the prefix; as in tridentate. |
|
notched |
= emarginate |
apex |
laminar structure |
Having a relatively small, acute, distal sinus. |
|
beaked |
= rostrate |
apex |

apex |
laminar structure |
Terminating in a relatively long, flexible, narrowly acuminate tip composed of laminar tissue. |

pungent 1 |
= acrid |
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a rigid, relatively short, sharp point composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
|
concave-tapered 1 |
= acuminate |
apex |
|
Gradually diminishing in width or diameter to a slender tip, the sides longitudinally concave. Corresponds with attenuate for base shape. |

obtuse 1 |
= blunt |
apex |

Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
|
acuminate |
= concave-tapered |
apex |
|
Gradually diminishing in width or diameter to a slender tip, the sides longitudinally concave. Corresponds with attenuate for base shape. |

apex |
|
Bearing one or more bristles (aristae, awns, setae). |
|
rounded |
|
apex |
|
Convex overall and more or less regularly curved. |

apex |
|
Having a distal boundary that is generally straight or plane and approximately perpendicular to the central axis. |
|
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
|
hooked |
= hamate, uncinate |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
