architecture |
plant |
Having many, more or less equal, principal stems arising at substrate level from a caudex or root crown. |
|
petaloid |
= petal-like |

structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
jointed |
= articulate(d) |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these joints (articulations) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
|
monolete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Having a single linear tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from ontogenetic coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |
|
branched 1 |
= ramiform, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
compound-lipped |
= syndetocheilic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
|
homocladic |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
Having stems that do not differ distinctly in size, shape and/or constitution. |
|
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
|
diffuse-rooted |
> fibrous-rooted |
architecture |
plant |
Having a dense system of adventitious, slender roots that arise from the base of the main stem and functionally replace an evanescent primary root. See also taprooted. |
|
cancellate |
= clathrate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
paleate |
= chaffy |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets, receptacular bracts); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
indusiate |
|
architecture |

architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that are essentially similar in appearance. |

architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having the number of petals indicated by the prefix; as in pentapetalous. |
|
butterfly-like |
= papilionaceous |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
|
haplocheilic |
= simple-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
|
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
