leaf-like |
= foliaceous |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
continuous 1 |
|
architecture |

petal-like |
= petaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
complex |
|
architecture |
|
Comprising two or more basic structural entities, at least two of which are dissimilar. |
|
tunicate |
|
architecture |
structure |
Having a tunic. |
|
peltate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |

|
architecture |
plant |
Having rhizomes. |
|
deliquescent 1 |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally and repeatedly such that the initial axis loses its prominence over the length of the structure and seems to dissolve into the succesive orders of branches. See also excurrent. |
