|
endophytic |
|
habit |
|
Growing within some portion of another, unrelated, living plant. |
|
stigmatic |
|
habit |
trichome |
Borne on the surface of the stigma and serving to hold pollen deposited there, variously shaped, often glandular, sometimes contractile. |
|
hemiepiphytic |
|
habit |
plant |
Partially epiphytic; rooted in the ground but with stems growing upon and supported mainly by other plants. |
|
motile |
|
habit |
|
Able to translocate by intrinsic means, as by flagellar propulsion. |
|
clustered 2 |
= gregarious |
habit |
plants |
Growing in loose aggretations. See also cespitose. |
|

= procumbent, supine, trailing |
habit |
axis |
Lying directly upon the substrate over its entire length. |
|
stinging |
= urent |
habit |
trichome |
Setaceous or capillate and ejecting an irritating fluid when the apex is dislocated by external pressure, the ejection accomplished by release of existing internal fluid pressure or by contraction of the whole trichome. |
|
suprafoliar |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the stems, each directly above (distal to) and very near a point of leaf insertion. |
|
infrabracteal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the axis directly below a bract insertion. |
|
perigynous |
|
insertion |
perianth, calyx, corolla, androecium |
Having its proximal portion adnate to part of the length of the gynoecium, or fused in a separate floral cup that extends part of the length of the gynoecium, the free distal portion thus arising at a level between the base and apex of the gynoecium. See also epigynous, hypogynous. |
|
rhytidomal |
|
insertion |
|
Within, upon, or otherwise directly associated with the bark. |
|

= one-sided |
insertion |
|
Upon or arising from one side only of the bearing structure. |
|
supramedial |
|
insertion |
|
Just above the middle of the structure in point. |
|
peripheral |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the outer surfaces or regions of a three-dimensional structure. Although use of this term in two-dimensional contexts is technically correct, traditionally the term marginal is preferred in such cases. |
|
infrafoliar |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the stem directly below a leaf insertion. |
|
staminal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stamens. |
