elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
peltate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Petiolate with the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and otherwise free from the blade. |
|
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. |
|
areola 2 pl. areolae |
= areole |
STRUCTURE |
foliaceous structure |
Any distinguishable laminar portion bounded on all sides by anastomosing veins and not traversed or dissected by any vasculature other than veinlets. |
|
one-leafleted |
= single-leafleted, unifoliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
|
even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
|
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
|
cancellate |
= clathrate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
clathrate |
= cancellate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
areole 2 |
= areola |
STRUCTURE |
foliaceous structure |
Any distinguishable laminar portion bounded on all sides by anastomosing veins and not traversed or dissected by any vasculature other than veinlets. |
|
tergeminate |
= trigeminous, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
paripinnate |
= even-pinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
|
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
|
ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmate with three leaflets. |
|
bigeminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
perfoliate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having a sessile lamina (blade) that uninterruptedly encircles the bearing axis, which thus passes through it at some point within the margin. See also amplexicaulous, connate-perfoliate. |
|
…ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order ternate; as in biternate, thrice-ternate. |
|
perforate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the laminar (blade) area naturally devoid of any tissue. |
|
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
|
spathaceous 2 |
= spathe-like |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Resembling a spathe. |
|
palmate |
= digitate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
|
trigeminous |
= tergeminate, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
…palmate |
= …digitate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order palmate; as in bipalmate. |
|
plaited 1 |
= pleated, plicate |
solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
