achene var. akene |
> caryopsis, grain (not recommended) |
nominative |
fruit |
Small, dry, indehiscent, and usually one-seeded, with the pericarp thin to thick, sometimes osseous, and adnate to the seed; derived from a single, superior, simple or compound, unicarpellate ovary. Although in traditional use caryopsis (or grain) has been treated as a type separate from achene and applied to the fruit of a grass [Poaceae (Gramineae)], they do not differ in basic morphology. See also cypsela, diclesium. |

fruit |
Having the number of seeds indicated by the prefix; as in oligospermous, polyspermous, tetraspermous. |

pleated 1 |
= plaited, plicate |
solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
|
…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. |
|
odd-pinnate |
= imparipinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
|
pedate |
= pedatifid |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
sheathing 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Differentiated into distinct proximal and distal portions, the former terete or involute and closely enclosing the bearing axis above the point of insertion. |
|
pedatifid |
= pedate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
plicate 2 |
= plaited, pleated |
solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
|
imparipinnate |
= odd-pinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
|
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. |
|
even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
|
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. |
|
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
|
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. |
|
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. |

= 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 |

|
ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmate with three leaflets. |
