= capitate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more capitula. |
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. |
thyrse-like |
= thyrsiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a thyrse, but not strictly such. |
stalkless |
= exstipitate, sessile, unstalked |
architecture |
|
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
inaperturate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking an aperture of any type. |
pericolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Pericolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
costate |
= ribbed |
architecture |
laminar structure |
Having one or more costae (ribs). |
polypetalous |
= apopetalous, choripetalous, dialypetalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having two or more distinct petals; having the petals unfused. |
lipped |
= labiate; > bilabiate, one-lipped, two-lipped, unilabiate |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members some or all of whose distal portions form one or two lip-like structures. |
flower-bearing |
= floriferous |
architecture |
plant, structure |
Bearing flowers. |
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
racemose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more racemes. |
agglomerate |
= glomerate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomes. |
contractile |
|
architecture |
structure |
Diminishing in length, or acquiring the potential energy for a sudden decrease, due to the generation of internal tension during tissue development. |
bundled 1 (not recommended) |
= fascicled, fasciculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
syncarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having one or more compound pistils. |
eradicate |
= rootless |
architecture |
plant |
Lacking a root. |
sectile |
|
architecture |
pollinium |
Having partially separated sectors, as though cut. |
papilionaceous |
= butterfly-like |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
apostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct stamens; having the stamens unfused. |
…pinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order pinnate; as in bipinnate, tripinnate. |
thyrsiform |
= thyrse-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a thyrse, but not strictly such. |
bifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that differ distinctly in appearance. |
labiate |
= lipped; > bilabiate, one-lipped, two-lipped, unilabiate |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members some or all of whose distal portions form one or two lip-like structures. |
tergeminate |
= trigeminous, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
