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

regular |
= actinomorphic |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Radially symmetric; divisible into two essentially equal portions along any median longitudinal plane. See also peloric. |

|
architecture |
axis |
Relatively very narrow and elongate, tough, and resiliently flexible. |
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
sheathed |

pterocaulous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having alate (winged) stems. |
gaping |
= personate, ringent |
architecture |
corolla |
Bilabiate with the upper lip inwardly arcuate, the lower lip prominent and appressed to the upper at the level of the throat or junction of tube and limb, which is thus normally occluded but which gapes, resembling an open mouth, when the whole is compressed laterally. |

architecture |
|
Bearing, incorporating, or surmounted by a hood-shaped structure. |
exalate 1 |
= wingless |
architecture |
|
