|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more spikes. |
|
haplocheilic |
= simple-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
|

|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Diadelphous with four stamens in one set and two in the other. See also didynamous. |
