colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (colpi), each containing a pore. |
dialypetalous |
= apopetalous, choripetalous, polypetalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having two or more distinct petals; having the petals unfused. |
pitcher-bladed |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a pitcher-shaped (ascidiform) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
baccate |
= berry-like |
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a berry. |
unifoliolate |
= one-leafleted, single-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
simple 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Externally unitary and comprising only one basic morphological unit; not compound in either sense of that term. |
spinulose |
|
apex |
|
Finely spinose. |
pungent 1 |
= acrid |
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a rigid, relatively short, sharp point composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
acute |
= sharp |
apex |
|
Sharply angular; regularly and more or less straightly attenuate to an angular tip, the sides intersecting at an angle of less than 90°. |
obtuse 1 |
= blunt |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
abrupt |
= truncate |
apex |
|
Having a distal boundary that is generally straight or plane and approximately perpendicular to the central axis. |
conic(al) |
= cone-shaped |
apex |
|
Transversely round, essentially triangular in median longitudinal section, and broadest proximally. See also obconic(al). |
rounded |
|
apex |
|
Convex overall and more or less regularly curved. |
crested |
= cristate |
apex |
|
Having a laterally elongate, relatively thin, irregular or notched protrusion. |
apiculate |
|
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a short, slender, angular tip that is not notably harder or stiffer than the main body of the structure. See also mucronate, mucronulate. |
barbed 1 |
|
apex |
|
Terminated by a small, relatively stiff, acutely reflexed, hook-like structure. |
truncate 1 |
= abrupt |
apex |
|
Having a distal boundary that is generally straight or plane and approximately perpendicular to the central axis. |
hooked |
= hamate, uncinate |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
mucronate |
|
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a short, hard point that is a continuation of vascular tissue. See also apiculate, mucronulate. |
aristate 1 |
= awned, bristled |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more aristae (awns, bristles, setae). |
sharp |
= acute |
apex |
|
Acutely angular; regularly and more or less straightly attenuate to an angular tip, the sides intersecting at an angle of less than 90°. |
mucronulate |
|
apex |
|
Finely mucronate. See also apiculate. |
piliferous |
|
apex |
|
Having a distinct, fine, weak, hair-like portion or protrusion. |
