non-septate |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Lacking transverse inter- or intracellular septa or partitions. |
excavate(d) |
= hollow |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |
drupaceous |
|
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a drupe. |
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
amplexicaulous var. amplexicaul |
= clasping |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the bearing axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
…pistillate |
= …gynous, …pistilled |
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having the number of pistils indicated by the prefix; as in tripistillate. |
basicauliramous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having the stem(s) branching at or near the base. See also basiramous. |
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
dichotomous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing two coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
personate |
= gaping, ringent |
architecture |
corolla |
Bilabiate with the upper lip inwardly arcuate, the lower lip prominent and appressed to the upper at the level of the throat or junction of tube and limb, which is thus normally occluded but which gapes, resembling an open mouth, when the whole is compressed laterally. |
fasciculate 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fascicled |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
unijugate |
= bifoliolate, two-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one pair of leaflets. |
pedunculate |
< stalked |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
syncolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Syncolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
bracteolate |
= bractleted |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bracteoles (bractlets, prophylls). |
ramose |
= branched, ramiform, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
…winged |
= …pterous |
architecture |
|
Having the number of wings (alae) indicated by the prefix; as in 3-winged, five-winged. |
non-stomate-bearing |
= astomatiferous |
architecture |
|
Lacking stomates in the epidermis. |
excurrent |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally such that the initial axis retains its prominence over the length of the structure, the succesive orders of branches relatively smaller. See also deliquescent. |
trichotomocolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having a triradiate surficial groove (colpus). |
interrupted 2 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having one or more gaps in an otherwise uniform distribution of flowers or branch units along the main axis. |
spinose 2 |
= echinate, spiny |
architecture |
|
Bearing spines. See also spinulose. |
ribbed 1 |
= costate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more ribs (costae). |
