architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the petals, the distal whorl with members directly above the sepals. See also diplostemonous. |
|
paniculate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more panicles. |
|
netted 1 |

flower, perianth |
Having two or more tepals that are partially or wholly connate. |
|
stalked 3 |
= petiolate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a petiole. |

stalked 4 |
= petiolulate |
architecture |
leaflet |
Having a petiolule. |

foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
|
umbelliform |

synandrous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens connate. |
|
epulvinate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence axis, petiole |
Lacking a pulvinus. |
|
heteromorphic |

architecture |
axis |
Articulate(d) and with the main portions of the whole separating at the joints upon maturity or senescence. |
|
flabelliramous |

architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem to produce more than three equal derivatives. |
|
paniculiform |
