cotyliform |
|
solid shape |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Having a short, relatively broad, cupulate tube and a well differentiated, erect limb. See also cyathiform, urceolate (urn-shaped). |
|
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). |
|
brochidodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along its length, the secondary veins incurving strongly near but short of the margin, interconnecting serially, and forming a succession of marginal loops. |
|
cladodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along its length, the secondary veins running thence toward the margin, but freely ramifying and becoming indistinct before reaching it. |
|
semicraspedodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, each secondary vein running thence toward and bifurcate near the margin, one branch terminating at the margin, the other upwardly arcuate and merging with the superadjacent secondary vein, thus forming one of a series of marginal loops. |
|
reticulodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins running thence toward the margin, branching repeatedly, becoming less distinct, and yielding a dense higher-order reticulum near the margin. |
|
eucamptodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins upwardly arcuate, gradually becoming indistinct interior to the margin, and serially interconnected by cross-branches without formation of marginal loops. |

solid shape |
