deciduous 1 |
|
duration |
structure |
Separating and falling away from the bearing axis, organ or plant prior to senescence of the latter, usually by developing an anatomically distinct, transverse, basal zone of cells (abcission layer), where separation occurs. See also seasonally deciduous. |
petal-like |
= petaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
radicant |
= rooting |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
petaloid |
= petal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
tunicate |
|
architecture |
structure |
Having a tunic. |
caducous |
|
duration |
structure |
Deciduous upon or immediately after emergence, with little or no evident senescence beforehand. |
fleeting |
= fugacious |
duration |
structure |
Wilting or withering very shortly after emergence, soon becoming inconspicuous and falling away or disintegrating. |
ligulate 1 |
= liguliferous |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
semistalked |
= subsessile |
architecture |
structure |
Almost stalkless; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
sheathed |
= vaginate |
architecture |
structure |
Closely enclosed over some or all of its length by a terete or involute structure. |
leaf-like |
= foliaceous |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
perennate |
|
duration |
structure |
Persisting in a functional state through the entire growing season. |
sepal-like |
= sepaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
marcescent |
|
duration |
structure |
Persistent in a distinctly withered condition. |
subsessile |
= semistalked |
architecture |
structure |
Almost sessile; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
liguliferous |
= ligulate |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
precocious |
= early-maturing |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing early in the growing season, or early relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
exstipitate |
= sessile, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
unstalked |
= exstipitate, sessile, stalkless |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
contractile |
|
architecture |
structure |
Diminishing in length, or acquiring the potential energy for a sudden decrease, due to the generation of internal tension during tissue development. |
stalked 6 |
= stipitate |
architecture |
structure |
Having a stipe. |
neotenous |
|
maturation |
structure |
Retaining at maturity attributes that are usually restricted to the juvenile stage. |
rooting |
= radicant |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
cruciferous |
= anisocytic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having three subsidiary cells, one distinctly smaller than the others. |
