|
perigynous |
|
insertion |
perianth, calyx, corolla, androecium |
Having its proximal portion adnate to part of the length of the gynoecium, or fused in a separate floral cup that extends part of the length of the gynoecium, the free distal portion thus arising at a level between the base and apex of the gynoecium. See also epigynous, hypogynous. |
|
rhytidomal |
|
insertion |
|
Within, upon, or otherwise directly associated with the bark. |
|
unilateral 3 |
= one-sided |
insertion |
|
Upon or arising from one side only of the bearing structure. |
|
peripheral |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the outer surfaces or regions of a three-dimensional structure. Although use of this term in two-dimensional contexts is technically correct, traditionally the term marginal is preferred in such cases. |
|
infrafoliar |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the stem directly below a leaf insertion. |
|
supramedial |
|
insertion |
|
Just above the middle of the structure in point. |
|
dorsal (not recommended) |
= abaxial |
insertion |
|
On or pertaining to the side or portion of a lateral structure that faces (or would face) away from the bearing axis when (or if) the axis of the lateral structure is (or were) oriented in the same general direction as the bearing axis. |
|
ventral (not recommended) |
= adaxial |
insertion |
|
On or pertaining to the side or portion of a lateral structure that faces (or would face) toward the bearing axis when (or if) the axis of the lateral structure is (or were) oriented in the same general direction as the bearing axis. |
|
marginal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the margins. |
|
lateral |
|
insertion |
|
To, toward, at, or upon a side, not apical or basal. |
|
staminal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stamens. |
|
proximal |
> basal |
insertion |
|
Upon or associated with the portion of a structure closest to its developmental origin. |
|
circumcaulous |
|
insertion |
|
Upon and surrounding the stem. |
|
inframedial |
|
insertion |
|
Slightly below the middle of the structure in point. |
|
ramal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stem branches. |
|
surficial |
= superficial |
insertion |
|
Directly upon the surface of the structure in point. |
|
infrapetiolar |
|
insertion |
bud |
Axillary and surrounded by the petiole base at maturity. |
|
staminodial |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the staminodes. |
|
pseudoaxillary |
|
insertion |
|
Only apparently axillary; originally extraaxillary but displaced to the axil by differential growth during development. |
|
septal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the septum or septa. |
|
subapical |
= subterminal |
insertion |
|
Lateral and just below the apex. |
|
acrocaulous |
|
insertion |
|
At or very near the stem tip. |
|
epibracteal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the bracts, or partially adnate thereto and apparently arising therefrom. |
|
discal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the floral disc. |
|
antipetalous |
|
insertion |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a petal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the petals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
