architecture |
stomate |
Lacking subsidiary cells. |

architecture |
plant |
Lacking any evident, elongate, aboveground stem, other than reproductive axes, at maturity, the leaves and/or reproductive axes arising essentially at substrate level from a very short axis with highly congested nodes. |
|
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
|
cymiform |
= cyme-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a cyme, but not strictly such. |
|
spathe-like |
= spathaceous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Resembling a spathe. |
|
involucrate 2 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |

|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Stephanocolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
|
amphicarpic |

architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having two or more petals that are partially or wholly connate. |
|
…adelphous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct sets of stamens, the sets differing from one another in the arrangements, insertions, positions and/or morphologies of the included stamens, the number of sets indicated by the prefix, at least one set with two or more members; as in diadelphous, monadelphous, triadelphous. |
|
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |

inflorescence |
Comprising one or more catkins. |
|
heterocladic |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
