conduplicate 1 |
= duplicate |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Adaxially contiguous, folded sharply together longitudinally (one adaxially, one abaxially), and reflexed together, one enveloping the hypocotyl and radicle, the other enveloping the first. |
|
paired |

arrangement |
bundle scars |
Disposed in an open-ended triangular pattern, like the letter V. |
|
scalariform |
= ladder-like |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in vertical sequence with long axes horizontal and parallel. |
|
pseudomonadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Apparently monadal but each grain actually comprising an unseparated original tetrad in which the contiguous walls between component grains have dissolved. |
|
verticillate |
= cyclic, seriate, whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in groups of three or more, the members of each group (cycle, series, verticil, whorl) inserted regularly around the axis at the same level. |
|
…ranked |

arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in the number of distinct ranks indicated by the prefix; as in two-ranked. |
|
stellate 1 |
= radiant, radiate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |

|
incumbent 1 |
= notorhizal |
arrangement |
cotyledons |

arrangement |
cells |
Disposed like bricks in a wall; in parallel rows, the members in each row overlapping the boundaries between members of the adjacent rows. |
|
monadal |
