receptacle (torus) |
Lacking paleae; in Asteraceae (Compositae) |
|
deliquescent 1 |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |

simple 2 |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Unicellular and unbranched. |

= amphicarpous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
|
perfoliate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having a sessile lamina (blade) that uninterruptedly encircles the bearing axis, which thus passes through it at some point within the margin. See also amplexicaulous, connate-perfoliate. |
|
subsessile |
= semistalked |
architecture |
structure |
Almost sessile; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
|
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
|
adenopetalous 1 |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having petals produced from glandular structures. |
|
scapose |
= scapigerous |
architecture |
plant |
Having the inflorescence borne upon a leafless, essentially naked axis (scape) that arises directly from a caudex or rhizome beneath, at, or slightly above the substrate surface. |
|
spathaceous 2 |
= spathe-like |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Resembling a spathe. |
|
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. |
|
syncarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having one or more compound pistils. |
|
anisophyllous |
|
architecture |
plant, axis |
Heterophyllous and bearing leaves of two or more distinct sizes or shapes on the same plants. |
|
basicauliramous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having the stem(s) branching at or near the base. See also basiramous. |
|
monochasium-like |
= monochasiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a monochasium, but not strictly such. |
|
sessile |
= exstipitate, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
trigeminous |
= tergeminate, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
amphicarpous |
= amphicarpic |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
|
perforate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the laminar (blade) area naturally devoid of any tissue. |
|
rhipidiate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more rhipidia. |
|
interrupted 2 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having one or more gaps in an otherwise uniform distribution of flowers or branch units along the main axis. |
|
flower-bearing |
= floriferous |
architecture |
plant, structure |
Bearing flowers. |
|
indusiate |
|
architecture |
sorus |
Having an indusium. |
|
apolar |
|
architecture |
pollen grain, spore |
Lacking morphologically evident polarity. |
