architecture |
|
Lacking stomates in the epidermis. |
|
bulbil |
= bulblet |
STRUCTURE |
|
A small bulb-like structure produced from a sterile or fertile plant structure other than a bulb, usually within a leaf axil, leaf sinus, or inflorescence, serving as a vegetative propagule. |
|
oblanciform |
= oblanceoloid |
solid shape |
|
Inversely lanciform (lancehead-shaped, lanceoloid). |
|
cirrhous |
|
apex |
|
Having a narrow spiral tip that is a continuation of the central primary vein. |
|
course |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Linear pattern of the centerline through the length of an axis or vein. |
|
praemorse |
|
apex |
|
Truncate with the distal margin irregular or ragged, as if chewed. |
|
disc floret |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A floret that has an actinomorphic corolla, is bisexual, functionally staminate, or functionally pistillate, and is borne in a radiate, discoid, disciform, or radiant capitulum (head) interior (distal) to any peripheral series of differing florets that may be present; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
replicate |
|
vernation |
|
Each with the distal portion of its blade recurved, paralleling and contiguous with the proximal portion. |
|
erose 1 |
|
margin |
|
Having rough, very irregular depressions throughout. |
|
scutiform |
= buckler-shaped, scutate |
solid shape |
|
Relatively thin with opposite broad oblong faces, planate to shallowly concave-convex, sometimes thickened about the periphery such that each face has a marginal rim; like an oblong shield. See also scutellate (platter-shaped, scutelliform), which is not clearly distinct in its application. |
|
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
plane shape |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
|
subapical |
= subterminal |
insertion |
|
Lateral and just below the apex. |
|
lid |
= operculum |
STRUCTURE |
|
A distal, cover-like portion of a structure whose main body is otherwise closed, transversely discontinuous with the main body around most of the circumference, or becoming partially or wholly separate by transverse dehiscence; as of a pitcher (ascidium), pollen grain, pyxis, or spore case (sporangium). |
|
infructescence 1 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A mature (fruiting) inflorescence (static sense). |
|
tholiform |
= dome-shaped |
solid shape |
|
Convex overall, broadest at the base, and transversely more or less circular to elliptical throughout. |
|
lidded |
= operculate |
architecture |
|
Having a lid (operculum). |
|
acrocaulous |
|
position |
|
At or very near the stem tip. |
|
architecture |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Composite structural configuration as to type, orientation, symmetry, insertion, position, fusion, presence, number, relative size, shape, texture, differentiation, and/or derivation of components and features. Overlaps conceptually with habit. |
|
lumen pl. lumina |
|
FEATURE |
|
A space enclosed by the wall(s) or membrane(s) of a structure. |
