architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the pedicels oriented such that the main bodies of all the flowers lie to one side of the bearing axis. |
|
spikeleted |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the penultimate subdivisional order consisting of spikelets. |
|
symmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are actinomorphic and equal in number of members. |
|
asymmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are irregular and/or unequal in number of members. |
|
chasmogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth open at anthesis, allowing deposit of pollen from other flowers (physiological receptivity aside). |
|
cleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth remaining closed through anthesis, preventing deposit of pollen from other flowers, thus only self-pollination possible. |
|
isopetalous |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having the petals essentially alike in size and shape. |
|
carinal |
|
aestivation |
|
Having the petals of the keel (carina) enclosing the others. |
|
palaceous |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and adnate to it from there to the margin, thus peltate but with the distal portion of the petiole adnate to the blade, the whole shovel- or spade-like. |

architecture |
stem |
Having the petioles oriented such that the main bodies of all the leaves lie to one side of the bearing stem. |

reproduction |
plant, strobilus, flower |
Having the pollen normally transported between strobili or flowers by air currents. |

squarrose |
|
orientation |
lateral structure |
Having the proximal portion appressed and the distal portion deflexed, the latter more or less perpendicular to the surface of the bearing structure. |

Having the sepals essentially alike in size and shape. |
