gaping |
= personate, ringent |
architecture |
corolla |

|
trichotomous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
butterfly-like |

architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
