architecture |
|
Having one or more septa. |
|
one-leafleted |
= single-leafleted, unifoliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |

= pedatifid |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
hygroscopic |
|
architecture |
structure |
Increasing or decreasing in size according to the presence or absence of surrounding moisture, due to differential swelling or shrinking of component anatomical structures. |
|

= macrophyllous (not recommended) |
architecture |
plant |
Bearing megaphylls. |
|
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |

< diffuse-rooted |
architecture |
plant |
Diffuse-rooted with fibrous roots. See also taprooted. |
|
cyathiate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |

|
…ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order ternate; as in biternate, thrice-ternate. |

= pedate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
capitulescence |
|
architecture |
|
Mode or progressive pattern of bearing capitula (heads); most appropriately described using adjectival terms; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
