|
petiolulate |
< stalked |
architecture |
leaflet |
Having a petiolule. |
|
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
|
wingless 1 |
= exalate |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
|
ramose |
= branched, ramiform, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
excurrent |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally such that the initial axis retains its prominence over the length of the structure, the succesive orders of branches relatively smaller. See also deliquescent. |
|
aseptate |
|
architecture |
|
Lacking internal walls or partitions (septae). |
|
veined |
|
architecture |
|
Having one or more orders of evident vasculature. |
|
ribbed 1 |
= costate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more ribs (costae). |
|
…digitate |
= …palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order digitate; as in tridigitate. |
|
trabeculate |
< septate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more trabeculae. |
|
…palmate |
= …digitate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order palmate; as in bipalmate. |
|
inflorescence 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Mode or progressive pattern of bearing flowers; most appropriately described using adjectival terms. |
|
sulcate |
= colpate, fossulate, furrowed, grooved, valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (sulci). |
|
single-leafleted |
= one-leafleted, unifoliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
|
cotyloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having general adnation among the different sets of floral structures, thus having the ovary inferior and/or having a floral tube. |
|
laminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
fasciculate 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fascicled |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
|
wingless 2 |
= exalate |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
|
hypostom(at)ic |
= hypostomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on only the abaxial surface. |
|
twisted |
= contorted |
architecture |
axis |
Having a helical pattern of relief and/or coloration along its length. |
|
ramous |
= branched, ramiform, ramose |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
cyme-like |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the number of flowers indicated by the prefix; as in bifloral, multifloral, oligofloral, unifloral. |
|
microphyllous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing microphylls. |
