architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |

Palmate with three leaflets. |
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. |
pedatifid |
= pedate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
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. |
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, 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. |
trigeminous |
= tergeminate, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
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. |
pleated 1 |
= plaited, plicate |
solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
trijugate |
= tergeminate, trigeminous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
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. |
…foliolate |
= …leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in bifoliolate, pentafoliolate, trifoliolate. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
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. |
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. |
plicate 2 |
= plaited, pleated |
solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
bigeminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
capsule |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, longitudinally or poricidally dehiscent, and derived from a compound ovary with one or more locules; containing one or more seeds. See also pyxis. |
loment |
< schizocarp |
nominative |
fruit |
A schizocarp with superposed locules; derived from a single, superior, simple ovary; disarticulating at transverse constrictions between the locules; in Fabaceae (Leguminosae). See also legume. |
schizocarp |
> loment |
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, dehiscent and with two or more locules; derived from a single, superior or inferior, compound ovary; with or without accessory tissue; splitting between locules to yield separate, individually indehiscent, usually one-seeded segments (cocci or mericarps). |
pepo |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Like a berry but derived from a single, inferior, compound ovary, with accessory floral-tube tissue adnate to the pericarp, having a relatively thin, hard or leathery rind and a thicker, fleshy inner wall that surrounds a mass of seeds; esp. in Cucurbitaceae. |
