architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more than three pores disposed equatorially. |

architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
|
perfect |

architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
|
solid |

architecture |
|
Occurring in two or more distinctly different forms within the taxon in point, at either the same or different times, in either the same or different plants. |
|
paleate |
