architecture |
tertiary laminar veins |
Perpendicular to and interconnecting adjacent parallel secondary veins, the secondary and tertiary veins together forming a scalariform pattern. |
|
excurrent |
|
architecture |

|
architecture |
|
Finely spinose. |
|
thyrsiform |

architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bractlets (bracteoles, prophylls). |
|
dichotomous |

|
hygroscopic |
|
architecture |
structure |
Increasing or decreasing in size according to the presence or absence of surrounding moisture, due to differential swelling or shrinking of component anatomical structures. |
|
sympodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each apparent order of branches comprising a series of laterally derived segments each of which functioned in turn as the distal leader, the apical meristem of each segment dominant until supplanted by that of the next. See also monopodial. |
