|
palmate |
= digitate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
|
vesiculate |
= alate, saccate, winged |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having lateral lobes or enations resembling sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |

astomatiferous |
= non-stomate-bearing |
architecture |
|
Lacking stomates in the epidermis. |
|
grooved |
= colpate, fossulate, furrowed, sulcate, valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more relatively narrow and shallow longitudinal depressions (grooves). |
|
synstemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more stamens, some or all of them connate. |
|
pinnate |
> pinnatifid, pinnatisect |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets inserted at different points along and to either side of the axis, from which those on each side diverge more or less in parallel; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar, feather-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "pinnately once-compound." See also imparipinnate, palmatipinnate, paripinnate, …pinnate, pinnatifid. |
|
spikeleted |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the penultimate subdivisional order consisting of spikelets. |
|
glandular 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Having one or more glands. |
|
homostylous |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant, flower |
Having styles that do not differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
|
isopolar |

Having two or more petals that are partially or wholly connate. |
|
laminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
single-leafleted |
= one-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. |
|
amentate |
= catkinate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more aments. |
|
monochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a monocyclic perianth. |

Not divisible into essentially equal halves along any line or plane. |
|
…grooved |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …furrowed, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of grooves indicated by the prefix; as in three-grooved, 5-grooved. |
|
syntepalous |
= gamotepalous |

= congested, crowded |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
