|
architecture |
flower |
Having a monocyclic perianth. |
|
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |

architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are irregular and/or unequal in number of members. |

connate |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Intimately fused, with strong histological continuity. |
|
fasciate(d) |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Abnormally proliferated in size and/or number and more or less connate, the result often monstrous. |
|
unequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Distinctly differing in extent. See also equal, subequal. |

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 |
