calyculate 1 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |

stomatiferous |
= stomate-bearing |
architecture |
|

even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |

spadicate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Generally spicate but with the flowers embedded in a thick, fleshy axis, the whole subtended and usually partially or wholly enveloped by a large bract (spathe). |
complex |
|
architecture |
|
Comprising two or more basic structural entities, at least two of which are dissimilar. |
scorpioid-cymose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more scorpioid cymes. See also cincinnate, helicoid-cymose. |
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. |
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. |
corymb-like |
= corymbiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
twisted |
= contorted |
architecture |
axis |
Having a helical pattern of relief and/or coloration along its length. |
anthelate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
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. |
continuous 3 |
|
architecture |
rachilla, rachis |

calyculate 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Subtended by a calyculus (epicalyx). |

|
architecture |
|
Having one or more orders of evident vasculature. |
ribbed 1 |
= costate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more ribs (costae). |
composite |
= compound |
architecture |
|
Unitary as a whole but comprising two or more equivalent substructural entities, these topologically distinct (e.g., leaflets in a compound leaf) or not (e.g., carpels in a compound pistil). |
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 |
|
