|
unbranched 1 |
= eramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Not branching at any point. |
|
bifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that differ distinctly in appearance. |
|
polytomous |
= flabelliramous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing more than three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
tuberous 1 |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing tubers. |
|
strobiloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Characterized by a general lack of adnation among the different sets of basic floral structures, any significant degree of fusion limited to connation within sets, thus with ovary(ies) superior and lacking a floral tube. |
|
spiciform |
= spike-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a spike, but not strictly such. |
|
isopolar |
|
architecture |
pollen grain, spore |
Having evident polarity, the proximal and distal halves similar. |
|
syncolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Syncolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
|
rooting |
= radicant |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
|
stilt-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing and partly supported by stilt roots. |
|
trichotomocolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having a triradiate surficial groove (colpus). |
|
secund 2 |
|
architecture |
stem |
Having the petioles oriented such that the main bodies of all the leaves lie to one side of the bearing stem. |
|
valleculate |
= colpate, fossulate, furrowed, grooved, sulcate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more relatively narrow and shallow longitudinal depressions; esp. fruits of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). |
|
tillering |
|
architecture |
plant, stem |
Producing tillers; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae) and other monocotyledons (Liliidae). |
|
amphistom(at)ic |
= amphistomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces. |
|
bractleted |
= bracteolate |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bractlets (bracteoles, prophylls). |
|
…ovuled |
= …ovulate |
architecture |
megasporophyll, ovary |
Having the number of ovules indicated by the previx; as in ten-ovuled. |
|
unbranched 2 |
|
architecture |
laminar veinlet |
Not branching within the areole. |
|
ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmate with three leaflets. |
|
tuberous 2 |
|
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a tuber in shape and texture, but not ontogenetically such; esp. roots. |
|
foliaceous |
= leaf-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
septate 1 |
> trabeculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more septa. |
|
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. |
|
pedate |
= pedatifid |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
hygroscopic |
|
architecture |
structure |
Increasing or decreasing in size according to the presence or absence of surrounding moisture, due to differential swelling or shrinking of component anatomical structures. |
