|
equitant |
|
arrangement |
|
Alternate, distichous, basal, and congested, each conduplicate with its lateral edges overlapping and/or overlapped by those of the immediately adjacent one(s). |
|
V-form |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Disposed in an open-ended triangular pattern, like the letter V. |
|
conjugate |
= geminate, paired |
arrangement |
|
Inserted by pairs, the members of each fused or not. |
|
clustered 1 |
|
arrangement |
|
Disposed in one or more aggregates, the members of each inserted close together, thence widely divergent from one another. |
|
superposed 1 |
|
arrangement |
|
Approximate to congested, inserted directly above and below one another. |
|
scalariform |
= ladder-like |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in vertical sequence with long axes horizontal and parallel. |
|
overlapping 2 |
= imbricate(d) |
arrangement |
planate structures |
Overlapping one another laterally and/or longitudinally. |
|
muriform |
= brickwork-like |
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. |
|
tiered |
|
arrangement |
|
In two or more rows that are arrayed one above another. |
|
monadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Shed singly, or essentially so, only loosely and irregularly, if at all, coherent, each original tetrad having separated fully. |
|
connivent |
|
arrangement |
|
Converging and distally contiguous; esp. arcuate stamens with anthers contiguous. |
|
decussate |
|
arrangement |
|
Opposite with successive pairs radially oriented at right angles to one another, thus polystichous with four equidistant ranks. |
|
wedge-shaped 1 |
= cuneate, obtriangular |
base |
laminar structure |
Attenuate with the sides more or less straight and intersecting at an acute angle. |
|
halberd-head-shaped 1 |
= hastate |
base |
laminar structure |
Having two generally triangular lobes, one to either side, oriented more or less perpendicular to the central axis. |
|
sagittate 1 |
= arrowhead-shaped |
base |
laminar structure |
Having two retrorse, generally triangular lobes, one to either side. |
|
arrowhead-shaped 1 |
= sagittate |
base |
laminar structure |
Having two retrorse, generally triangular lobes, one to either side. |
|
spurred |
= calcarate |
base |
|
Having a relatively slender protrusion resembling a spur. |
|
tailed 2 |
= caudate |
base |
|
With one or more relatively slender, retrorse basal enations or appendages. |
|
obtriangular 1 |
= cuneate, wedge-shaped |
base |
laminar structure |
Attenuate with the sides more or less straight and intersecting at an acute angle. |
|
calcarate |
= spurred |
base |
|
Having a relatively slender protrusion resembling a spur. |
|
caudate 2 |
= tailed |
base |
|
With one or more relatively slender, retrorse basal enations or appendages. |
|
cordate 1 |
= heart-shaped |
base |
laminar structure |
Having two equal, more or less rounded, retrorse lobes, one to either side, overlapping or not, the intervening sinus relatively deep. |
|
concave-tapered 2 |
= attenuate |
base |
|
Gradually diminishing in width or diameter toward the proximal end, the sides longitudinally concave. Corresponds with acuminate for apex shape. |
|
obtuse 2 |
= blunt |
base |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular proximal portion whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
|
hastate 1 |
= halberd-head-shaped |
base |
laminar structure |
Having two generally triangular lobes, one to either side, oriented more or less perpendicular to the central axis. |
