asymmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are irregular and/or unequal in number of members. |
|
pedicellate |
< stalked |
architecture |
flower |
Having a pedicel. |
|
vespertine |
= evening-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the evening. |
|
chasmogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth open at anthesis, allowing deposit of pollen from other flowers (physiological receptivity aside). |
|
cleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth remaining closed through anthesis, preventing deposit of pollen from other flowers, thus only self-pollination possible. |
|
dichlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth differentiated into a distinct calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals). |
|
evening-blooming |
= vespertine |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the evening. |
|
calyculate 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Subtended by a calyculus (epicalyx). |
|
homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |
|
complete |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having all sets of basic floral structures (calyx and corolla, or else undifferentiated perianth; androecium; and gynoecium) present and functionally normal. |
|
diurnal |
= day-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the daytime. |
|
ligulate 2 |
|
architecture |
floret |
Bisexual with a zygomorphic corolla; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
anther-bearing |
= antheriferous |
architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
|
antheriferous |
= anther-bearing |
architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
|
fasciate(d) |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Abnormally proliferated in size and/or number and more or less connate, the result often monstrous. |
|
coherent |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Joined superficially, with no significant histological continuity. |
|
equal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Essentially uniform in extent. See also subequal, unequal. |
|
connate |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Intimately fused, with strong histological continuity. |
|
discrete |
= distinct |
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Not fused or joined with one another in any degree. |
|
unequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Distinctly differing in extent. See also equal, subequal. |
|
subequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Nearly uniform in extent. See also equal, unequal. |
|
distinct |
= discrete |
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Not fused or joined with one another in any degree. |
|
antipetalous |
|
insertion |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a petal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the petals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
|
antipetalous |
|
position |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a petal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the petals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
|
antisepalous |
|
insertion |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a sepal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the sepals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
