architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more or less isodiametric, regularly disposed lacunae. |
jointed |
= articulate(d) |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these joints (articulations) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
monolete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Having a single linear tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from ontogenetic coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |

Having two or more distinct petals; having the petals unfused. |
interrupted 2 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having one or more gaps in an otherwise uniform distribution of flowers or branch units along the main axis. |
dorsiventral |
|
architecture |
|
Having structurally distinct abaxial (dorsal) and adaxial (ventral) portions or aspects. |
…cellular |
= …celled |
architecture |
|
Having the number of cells indicated by the prefix; as in bicellular, multicellular, oligocellular. |
paleate |
= chaffy |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets, receptacular bracts); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
allagostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens inserted alternately upon petals and the receptacle. |
indusiate |
|
architecture |
sorus |
Having an indusium. |
unifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that are essentially similar in appearance. |
…petalous |
= …petaled |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having the number of petals indicated by the prefix; as in pentapetalous. |
barbellate |
|
architecture |
|
Bearing one or more barbels. |
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. |
climbing-rooted |
< aerial-rooted |
architecture |
plant, structure |
Bearing climbing roots. |
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
echinate |
= spinose, spiny |
architecture |
|
Bearing spines. |
spinose 2 |
= echinate, spiny |
architecture |
|
Bearing spines. See also spinulose. |
chorisepalous |
= aposepalous, dialysepalous, polysepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more distinct sepals; having the sepals unfused. |
pitcher-bladed |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a pitcher-shaped (ascidiform) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
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. |
simple 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Externally unitary and comprising only one basic morphological unit; not compound in either sense of that term. |
haplomorphic |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the members of each set of basic floral structures numerous and spirally arranged, the flower hemispheric to conoidal overall. |
actinocytic |
|
architecture |
stomate |
Having several subsidiary cells oriented radially to its center. |
