sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
compound-lipped |
= syndetocheilic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
stipitate |
< stalked |
architecture |
structure |
Having a stipe. |
apolar |
|
architecture |
pollen grain, spore |
Lacking morphologically evident polarity. |
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. |
unijugate |
= bifoliolate, two-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one pair of leaflets. |
naked 4 |
= epaleate |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Lacking paleae; in Asteraceae (Compositae) |
paracytic |
= rubiaceous |
architecture |
stomate |
Having one or more subsidiary cells to either side, all oriented parallel to its long axis. |
diacytic |
= caryophyllaceous |
architecture |
stomate |
Having two subsidiary cells that together surround it, their common wall oriented perpendicular to its long axis. |
ligulate 1 |
= liguliferous |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
foliose 2 |
|
architecture |
thallus |
Having leaf-like lobes; in Hepaticae. |
anisostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having stamens unequal in size and/or shape. |
articulate(d) |
= jointed |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these articulations (joints) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |
trabeculate |
< septate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more trabeculae. |
compact |
= congested, crowded |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
ringent |
= gaping, personate |
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. |
one-sided 1 |
= unilateral |
architecture |
|
Having only one side, as compared with presumably equivalent, bilaterally symmetric structures. |
secund 2 |
|
architecture |
stem |
Having the petioles oriented such that the main bodies of all the leaves lie to one side of the bearing stem. |
…porate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having the number of pores indicated by the prefix; as in monoporate, polyporate, triporate. |
pedatifid |
= pedate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
…sepalous |
= …sepaled |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having the number of sepals indicated by the prefix; as in tetrasepalous. |
reticulate 1 |
= anastomosing, net-like, netted |
architecture |
tertiary and higher-order laminar veins, excl veinlets |
Interconnecting more or less regularly. |
syncarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having one or more compound pistils. |
