= day-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the daytime. |
|
chasmogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth open at anthesis, allowing deposit of pollen from other flowers (physiological receptivity aside). |

achlamydeous |
= naked |
architecture |
flower |
Lacking a perianth. |
|
cleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth remaining closed through anthesis, preventing deposit of pollen from other flowers, thus only self-pollination possible. |
|
thermocleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Normally chasmogamous but facultatively cleistogamous during periods of lower-than-normal temperature. |
|
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
|
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
|
symmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are actinomorphic and equal in number of members. |
|
stalked 1 |
= pedicellate |
architecture |
flower |
Having a pedicel. |
|
complete |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having all sets of basic floral structures (calyx and corolla, or else undifferentiated perianth; androecium; and gynoecium) present and functionally normal. |
|
imperfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having either stamens or pistils absent or non-functional, thus unisexual. |
|
allagostemonous |

architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens inserted alternately upon petals and the receptacle. |

architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens essentially alike in size and shape. |
|
…adelphous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct sets of stamens, the sets differing from one another in the arrangements, insertions, positions and/or morphologies of the included stamens, the number of sets indicated by the prefix, at least one set with two or more members; as in diadelphous, monadelphous, triadelphous. |
