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. |
|
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 |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having the petals essentially alike in size and shape. |
|
cleistogamous |

reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth remaining closed through anthesis, preventing deposit of pollen from other flowers, thus only self-pollination possible. |
|
chasmogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth open at anthesis, allowing deposit of pollen from other flowers (physiological receptivity aside). |
