hamate |
= hooked, uncinate |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
cristate |

apex |
|
Having a laterally elongate, relatively thin, irregular or notched protrusion. |

apex |
laminar structure |
Having a relatively small, acute, distal sinus. |
apiculate |

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. |
retuse |
|
apex |
|
Round overall with an obtuse terminal sinus. |
hooked |
= hamate, uncinate |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
cirrhous |
|
apex |
|
Having a narrow spiral tip that is a continuation of the central primary vein. |
obtuse 1 |
= blunt |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
aristate 1 |
= awned, bristled |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more aristae (awns, bristles, setae). |
…dentate 1 |
= …-toothed |
apex |
|
Generally truncate but with the number of antrorse, attenuate, distal lobes indicated by the prefix; as in tridentate. |
…-toothed 1 |
= …dentate |
apex |
|
Generally truncate but with the number of antrorse, attenuate, distal lobes indicated by the prefix; as in three-toothed. |
concave-tapered 1 |
= acuminate |
apex |
|
Gradually diminishing in width or diameter to a slender tip, the sides longitudinally concave. Corresponds with attenuate for base shape. |
bristled |
= aristate, awned |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more bristles (aristae, awns, setae). |
rostellate |
= small-beaked |
apex |
|
Diminutively rostrate (beaked). |
horned |
= corniculate |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more horns (cornicula). |
tailed 1 |
= caudate |
apex |
laminar structure |
Terminating in a relatively long, flexible, narrowly acuminate tip composed of laminar tissue. |
aristate 2 |
|
apex |
pappus scale |
Terminating in one or more awn- or bristle-like appendages. |
acuminate |
= concave-tapered |
apex |
|
Gradually diminishing in width or diameter to a slender tip, the sides longitudinally concave. Corresponds with attenuate for base shape. |
uncinate |
= hamate, hooked |
apex |
|
Having a recurved terminal portion that resembles a hook. |
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
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°. |
rostrate |
= beaked |
apex |
|
Terminating in a relatively long, tapering, more or less rigid point. See also rostellate (small-beaked). |
spinose 1 |
|
apex |
|
Terminating in a rigid, tapering, sharp continuation of the central primary vein. See also spinulose. |
awned |
= aristate, bristled |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more awns (aristae, bristles, setae). |
furcate |
= forked; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
