|
pubescent 1 (broad sense) |
|
pubescence |

|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the corona. |
|
lacuna pl. lacunae |

|
texture |
epidermis, trichome |
Containing deposits of silica, thus hardened and abrasive. |
|
ramentaceous |
|
pubescence |
|
Of small, fragile, scarious, planate trichomes. |
|
calyptrate |
|
architecture |
|
Having or constituting a calyptra. |

|
Hollow, roughly circular in cross-section, broader and open distally, and tapering to a closed apex, like a candle snuffer or elongate hood. |
|
habit |
|
CHARACTER |
|
General appearance and/or function, usually including explicit or implicit reference to one or more aspects of habitat or other features of the external environment; a logically imprecise traditional category of terms that overlaps conceptually with architecture, arrangement, duration, insertion, location, orientation, position, shape, and texture. |
|
sawtooth |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
One of a series of regularly spaced, angular, marginal convexities oriented at an acute angle to the generalized perimeter of a laminar structure. See also sawtoothlet, scallop (crena), scalloplet (crenule), tooth, toothlet. |
|
monochasium pl. monochasia |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Determinate and falsely dichotomous with each axial segment bearing a single, sessile terminal flower; presumably derived from a dichasium by loss of the lateral flowers. See also cincinnus, cyme, cymule, dichasium, helicoid cyme, scorpioid cyme. |

|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing tubers. |
|
subtending |

insertion |
|
At or very near the stem tip. |
