axis |
Long, slender, unbranched, and more or less straight. |
|
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.

architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |

|
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). |
|
peltate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Petiolate with the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and otherwise free from the blade. |
|

|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing microphylls. |

costate |
= ribbed |
architecture |
laminar structure |
Having one or more costae (ribs). |

didynamous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Diadelphous with two stamens in each set. See also tetradynamous. |
|
contractile |
|
architecture |
structure |
Diminishing in length, or acquiring the potential energy for a sudden decrease, due to the generation of internal tension during tissue development. |
|
wingless 1 |
= exalate |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
|
exindusiate |
|
