|
radicant |
= rooting |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
|
petal-like |
= petaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
early-maturing |
= precocious |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing early in the growing season, or early relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
accrescent |
|
duration |
structure |
Increasing further in size after the bearing structure has become functionally mature; esp. a calyx after anthesis. |
|
serotinous |
= late-maturing |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing late in the growing season, or late relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
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. |
|
petaloid |
= petal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
precocious |
= early-maturing |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing early in the growing season, or early relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
marcescent |
|
duration |
structure |
Persistent in a distinctly withered condition. |
|
liguliferous |
= ligulate |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
|
sessile |
= exstipitate, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
perennate |
|
duration |
structure |
Persisting in a functional state through the entire growing season. |
|
unstalked |
= exstipitate, sessile, stalkless |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
neotenous |
|
maturation |
structure |
Retaining at maturity attributes that are usually restricted to the juvenile stage. |
|
semistalked |
= subsessile |
architecture |
structure |
Almost stalkless; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
|
subsessile |
= semistalked |
architecture |
structure |
Almost sessile; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
|
exstipitate |
= sessile, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
sheathed |
= vaginate |
architecture |
structure |
Closely enclosed over some or all of its length by a terete or involute structure. |
|
late-maturing |
= serotinous |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing late in the growing season, or late relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
sepal-like |
= sepaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
|
vaginate |
= sheathed |
architecture |
structure |
Closely enclosed over some or all of its length by a terete or involute structure. |
|
stalked 6 |
= stipitate |
architecture |
structure |
Having a stipe. |
|
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. |
|
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
|
caryophyllaceous |
= diacytic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having two subsidiary cells that together surround it, their common wall oriented perpendicular to its long axis. |
