even-pinnate |

architecture |
primary or secondary laminar veins |
Running through the entire length of the lamina (blade), or all the way to its margin. |
excurrent |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally such that the initial axis retains its prominence over the length of the structure, the succesive orders of branches relatively smaller. See also deliquescent. |

architecture |
flower |
Having a monocyclic perianth. |
cyathiate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cyathia. |
antheriferous |
= anther-bearing |
architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
syntepalous |
= gamotepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth |
Having two or more tepals that are partially or wholly connate. |
amphistomatous |
= amphistom(at)ic |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces. |
glomerulate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomerules; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
carpellate (not recommended) |
= pistillate |
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional pistils but no functional stamens, thus unisexual and female. |
paniculiform |
= panicle-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a panicle, but not strictly such. |
heteropolar |
|
architecture |
pollen grain, spore |
Having morphologically evident polarity, the proximal and distal halves dissimilar. |
fasciculate 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fascicled |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
asymmetric(al) 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Not divisible into essentially equal halves along any line or plane. |
acephalous 1 |
= headless |
architecture |
|
Not terminated or surmounted by a head-like structure, esp. when one might be expected. |
percurrent 2 |
|
architecture |
tertiary laminar veins |
Perpendicular to and interconnecting adjacent parallel secondary veins, the secondary and tertiary veins together forming a scalariform pattern. |
…headed |
= …cephalous |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Having the number of heads (capitula) indicated by the prefix; as in three-headed, few-headed, 6-headed. |
contractile |
|
architecture |
structure |
Diminishing in length, or acquiring the potential energy for a sudden decrease, due to the generation of internal tension during tissue development. |
scapigerous |
= scapose |
architecture |
plant |
Having the inflorescence borne upon a leafless, essentially naked axis (scape) that arises directly from a caudex or rhizome beneath, at, or slightly above the substrate surface. |
odd-pinnate |
= imparipinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |

= cruciate |
architecture |
corolla, perianth |

flower, gynoecium, pistil, ovary, fruit |
Deemed to have or to consist of the number of carpels indicated by the prefix; as in six-carpelled, 3-carpelled. |
simple 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Externally unitary and comprising only one basic morphological unit; not compound in either sense of that term. |
