foliose 2 |
|
architecture |
thallus |
Having leaf-like lobes; in Hepaticae. |
viviparous |
|
reproduction |
|
Producing sexually or asexually generated offspring that begin growth and development while borne upon the parent plant. |
gibbous |
|
solid shape |
|
Bulging unilaterally near the base. |
prickle |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Any unvascularized spine-like enation originating in the epidermis, cortex, or mesophyll of any shoot part. See also spine, thorn. |
arrangement |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Disposition of equivalent structures with respect to one another (positions/insertions and/or orientations, regarded collectively) within some explicit or implicit standard context. Overlaps conceptually with habit, insertion, orientation, position, and shape. |
apotropous |
|
orientation |
ovule |
Anatropous but the whole recurved such that the raphe (adnate portion of the funiculus) faces the ovary wall (placenta) and the ovule is parallel to it, the micropyle facing the free basal portion of the funiculus. |
seedling |
|
PLANT |
|
A plant in the first stages of its growth following emergence from the seed. |
isodiametric |
|
architecture |
|
Of approximately constant breadth in all median planes. |
cotyloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having general adnation among the different sets of floral structures, thus having the ovary inferior and/or having a floral tube. |
stilt-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing and partly supported by stilt roots. |
staminal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stamens. |
cyme |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Determinate and constituting a compound dichasium or monochasium, the flowers maturing from the center outward (i.e., the distal or inner flowers maturing first); often more or less flat-topped. See also cymule, dichasium, helicoid cyme, monochasium, rhipidium, scorpioid cyme. |
strobiloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Characterized by a general lack of adnation among the different sets of basic floral structures, any significant degree of fusion limited to connation within sets, thus with ovary(ies) superior and lacking a floral tube. |
capsule |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, longitudinally or poricidally dehiscent, and derived from a compound ovary with one or more locules; containing one or more seeds. See also pyxis. |
synangium pl. synangia |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A compound sporangium; an aggregation of coherent sporangia, the whole multilocular. |
derivation |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Ontogenetic origin. |
ochrea |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
See ocrea. |
supervolute |
|
vernation |
|
Each with one side rolled adaxially inward from the margin and enveloped by the abaxially rolled opposite side. |
duration |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Extent of lifetime, or persistence and physical state after maturation. |
obdiplostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the petals, the distal whorl with members directly above the sepals. See also diplostemonous. |
thyrsate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more thyrses. |
palmatifid |
|
solid shape |
|
Palmately lobate; having three or more lobes whose longitudinal axes radiate from a common point. |
terminal |
|
position |
|
Apical and with the same developmental axis as the whole, of which it is the distalmost portion or appendage. |
epinastic |
|
development |
laminar structure |
Having the adaxial surface differentiating and growing faster than the abaxial surface, thus, until maturity, development of the former more advanced than that of the latter at any given time and the structure as a whole revolute or recurved. |
colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (colpi), each containing a pore. |
