CHARACTER |
|
Mode or pattern of growth and differentiation. |
|
squamella 3 pl. squamellae |
= lodicule, squamule |
STRUCTURE |
|
One of two or three small, scale-like structures inserted at the base of the androecium, distal to the palea, in most grass (Poaceae) flowers; often regarded as a vestigial branch or perianth member. |
|
cap cell |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
The single cell, or one of the several cells, forming the uppermost (distal) portion of an antheridial wall. |
|
presence |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Occurrence within the context in point. |
|
course |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Linear pattern of the centerline through the length of an axis or vein. |
|
turnip-shaped |
= napiform |
solid shape |
|
Depressed-globose overall and strongly concave-tapered (acuminate) at the base; like the generalized form of a turnip. |
|
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
solid shape |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
|
…serrate |
= …-sawtoothed |
margin |
|
Having the number of orders of sawteeth indicated by the prefix, one upon another; as in biserrate. See also …crenate (…-scalloped), …dentate (…-toothed). |
|
fossula pl. fossulae |
= colpus, furrow, groove, sulcus, vallecula |
FEATURE |
|
An elongate depression that is relatively shallow and narrow. |
|
serrulate |
= small-sawtoothed |
margin |
|
Finely serrate (sawtoothed). See also crentate (scalloped), crenulate (small-scalloped), dentate (toothed), denticulate (small-toothed). |
|
subglobose |
= suborbicular, subrotund, subspheric(al), subspheroid(al) |
solid shape |
|
Broadly ellipsoid with a length:width ratio closely approaching 1:1; almost globose, slightly longer than broad. |
|
aerial |
|
location |
|
Above ground or water level. |
|
keel-shaped |
= cariniform |
solid shape |
|
Elongate, basically triangular in transverse section, tapering at one or both ends, the outer edge thus somewhat arcuate, the whole resembling the keel of a boat. |
|
ramal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stem branches. |
|
determinate |
|
development |
|
Having the terminal (central, apical, or distal) portion differentiating first and the lateral (peripheral, basal, or proximal) portions later, development thus proceeding sequentially downward or outward, growth of the whole thereby organizationally limited. |
|
motile |
|
habit |
|
Able to translocate by intrinsic means, as by flagellar propulsion. |
|
villous |
= shaggy, villose |
pubescence |
|
Bearing sparse, long, slender, soft, capillate trichomes that are not intertwined. See also villosulous. |
|
groove |
= colpus, fossula, furrow, sulcus, vallecula |
FEATURE |
|
A longitudinal depression that is relatively shallow and narrow. |
|
spinulose |
|
apex |
|
Finely spinose. |
|
plumule |
= epicotyl |
STRUCTURE |
|
A distinguishable nascent shoot developed in the embryo in some taxa, consisting of a shoot axis with unexpanded internodes and one or more leaf primordia, being that portion of the embryo above the level of cotyledon insertion; the primordial shoot, when developed by the embryo within a seed; the first bud of a spermatophyte, when developed by an embryo within the seed. In other taxa the shoot is represented in the embryo only by a quiescent apical meristem at the summit of the embryonic axis. |
|
coriaceous |
= leathery |
texture |
|
Moderately thick, tough, and very pliable. |
|
rough 1 |
= scabrous |
pubescence |
|
Of or bearing coarse, stiff, ascending, trichomes and markedly rough to the touch. |
|

|
course |
|
See flexuous. |
|
obturbinate |
|
solid shape |
|
Inversely turbinate (top-shaped). See also pyriform (pear-shaped). |
