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. |
dialysepalous |

Lacking glands. |
corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
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. |
pseudopetiolate |
|
architecture |
leaf |
Having a distinctly constricted, more or less stalk-like, proximal portion that is evolutionarily derived from the blade, the original petiole reduced to the point of absence or vestigiality; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae). |
actinomorphic |
= regular |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Radially symmetric; divisible into two essentially equal portions along any median longitudinal plane. |

receptacle (torus) |
Lacking paleae (pales, palets); in Asteraceae (Compositae) |
liguliferous |
= ligulate |
architecture |
structure |
