bracteate |
= bracted |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bracts. |
compact |
= congested, crowded |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
carpellate (not recommended) |
= pistillate |
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional pistils but no functional stamens, thus unisexual and female. |
wiry |
|
architecture |
axis |
Relatively very narrow and elongate, tough, and resiliently flexible. |
two-lipped |
= bilabiate; < labiate, lipped |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members whose distal portions form two unequal, opposing, lip-like structures, one adaxial, one abaxial. See also gaping (personate, ringent). |
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
involucrate 1 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Subtended by an involucre. |
heteroblastic |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
plant |
Having juvenile and mature leaves that differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
stephanocolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more than three surficial grooves (colpi) oriented meridionally. |
pseudopetiolate |
|
architecture |
leaf |
Having a distinctly constricted, more or less stalk-like, proximal portion that is evolutionarily derived from the blade, the original petiole reduced to the point of absence or vestigiality; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae). |
palmatipinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, the first order palmate, the second pinnate. |
bracted |
= bracteate |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bracts. |
unstalked |
= exstipitate, sessile, stalkless |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
actinocytic |
|
architecture |
stomate |
Having several subsidiary cells oriented radially to its center. |
…carpelled |
= …carpellate |
architecture |
flower, gynoecium, pistil, ovary, fruit |
Deemed to have or to consist of the number of carpels indicated by the prefix; as in six-carpelled, 3-carpelled. |
dichasium-like |
= dichasiiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a dichasium, but not strictly such. |
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. |
knee-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having knee roots. |
ranunculaceous |
= anomocytic |
architecture |
stomate |
Lacking subsidiary cells. |
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
cincinnate |
< helicoid-cymose |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cincinni. |
spathe-like |
= spathaceous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Resembling a spathe. |
involucrate 2 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Having an involucre. |
continuous 1 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the flowers or branch units distributed evenly along the axis, with no significant interruption. |
heterocephalous |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Having heads that differ distinctly in size, shape, and/or constitution. |
