epipterous |
|
solid shape |
|
Alate with a single terminal wing. |
casing |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
The portion (if any) of a floral tube that is adnate to the gynoecium. See also collar, neck. |
bud scale |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A scale that, alone or aggregated with others, envelops and protects a bud. |
supramedial |
|
insertion |
|
Just above the middle of the structure in point. |
ochrea |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
See ocrea. |
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. |
mamillate |
|
relief |
|
Bearing mamillae. |
cell 1 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Any of the basic structural/functional units that collectively or individually make up the various tissues of a plant; comprising, at least while physiologically active, a nucleus with included genetic material (chromosomes), a surrounding cytoplasm with included organelles (e.g., ribosomes, mitochondria, plastids), an enclosing membrane, and an exterior cellulosic wall. |
flange |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A relatively broad, circumferential rim or ridge that protrudes laterally. |
toothlet |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A diminutive tooth (dens). See also sawtooth, sawtoothlet, scallop (crena), scalloplet (crenule). |
fruit |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Any unitary seed-bearing structure of a flowering plant, consisting of the matured or ripened pistil(s) of one or more flowers along with any other floral or vegetative tissue(s) persisting adnate to them; characteristic of and unique to Magnoliophyta (Angiospermae). |
perforate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the laminar (blade) area naturally devoid of any tissue. |
diplostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the sepals, the distal whorl with members directly above the petals. See also obdiplostemonous. |

|
architecture |
|
Bearing the number of cilia indicated by the prefix. |
gibbous |
|
solid shape |
|
Bulging unilaterally near the base. |

linear 2 |
|
plane shape |
|
Elongate and narrow with the sides more or less straight and parallel over most of its length. |
adventitious |
|
derivation |
|
Arising more or less unpredictably from an organ, tissue, or site that is an unusual, abnormal, or atypical origin for structures of its type. |
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. |
