architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |

|
perfoliate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having a sessile lamina (blade) that uninterruptedly encircles the bearing axis, which thus passes through it at some point within the margin. See also amplexicaulous, connate-perfoliate. |
|

architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bractlets (bracteoles, prophylls). |

cymose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more simple or compound cymes. See also cincinnate, cymulose, dichasiate, helicoid-cymose, monochasiate, rhipidiate, scorpioid-cymose. |

|
pseudopetiolate |
|
architecture |
leaf |
Having a distinctly constricted, more or less stalk-like, proximal portion that is evolutionarily derived from the blade, the original petiole reduced to the point of absence or vestigiality; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae). |
|

|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, the first order palmate, the second pinnate. |
|
unstalked |

architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
basicauliramous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having the stem(s) branching at or near the base. See also basiramous. |
|
clathrate |
= cancellate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |

|
perforate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the laminar (blade) area naturally devoid of any tissue. |
|
chaffy 2 |
= paleate |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
