exalate 2 |
= wingless |
architecture |
pollen grain |

wingless 1 |
= exalate |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
diaphragmed |
|
architecture |
pith |
Uninterrupted by cavities but heterogeneous in texture at axis maturity, with sectors of spongy tissue separated by relatively thin transverse plates of denser tissue that occur at the nodes or are otherwise regularly spaced along the axis. |

architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
excavate(d) |
= hollow |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |
