duplicate 1 |
= conduplicate |
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. |

arrangement |
|
Disposed in two ranks along the axis, the ranks opposite one another. |
|
notorhizal |
= incumbent |
arrangement |
cotyledons |

arrangement |
planate structures |
Not overlapping, adjacent members laterally contiguous at their margins. |
|
whorled |
