architecture |
flower |
Characterized by a general lack of adnation among the different sets of basic floral structures, any significant degree of fusion limited to connation within sets, thus with ovary(ies) superior and lacking a floral tube. |
|
inflorescence 1 |

|
Mode or progressive pattern of bearing flowers; most appropriately described using adjectival terms. |
|
unilabiate |
= one-lipped; < labiate, lipped |

architecture |
|
Having the number of cells indicated by the prefix; as in bicellular, multicellular, oligocellular. |
|
panicle-like |
= paniculiform |

architecture |
plant, axis |
Having a helical pattern of relief and/or coloration along its length. |
|
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |

architecture |
axis |
Relatively very narrow and elongate, tough, and resiliently flexible. |
|
pinnate |
> pinnatifid, pinnatisect |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets inserted at different points along and to either side of the axis, from which those on each side diverge more or less in parallel; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar, feather-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "pinnately once-compound." See also imparipinnate, palmatipinnate, paripinnate, …pinnate, pinnatifid. |
|
stalked 5 |

architecture |
ovule |
Having a funiculus (funicle), by which it is attached to the ovary wall. |
|
…merous |
|
architecture |
compound or compound-complex structure |
Having the number of equivalent component parts indicated by the prefix (e.g., petals in a corolla), or having different component sets of equivalent parts of that number in each set (e.g., calyx and corolla in a perianth); as in monomerous, oligomerous, polymerous, tetramerous, trimerous. |
