Relatively thin, broad and long, strongly compound-curved, concavely from end to end and convexly from side to side; like the generalized shape of a saddle. |
|
half-obterete |
= semiobterete |
solid shape |
|
Inversely half-terete; obterete but flattened on one side. |
|
subsessile |
= semistalked |
architecture |
structure |
Almost sessile; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
|
half-terete |
= semiterete |
solid shape |

|
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |

= sepaloid |
architecture |
structure |

|
cyclic |
= seriate, verticillate, whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in groups of three or more, the members of each group (cycle, series, verticil, whorl) inserted around the axis at the same level. |
|
silky |
= sericeous |
pubescence |
|
Of or bearing long, fine, appressed, capillate trichomes and like silk to the touch. |
|
cycle |
= series, verticil, whorl |
STRUCTURE |
|
A set of three or more lateral structures that are inserted around an axis at the same level. |
|
late-maturing |
= serotinous |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing late in the growing season, or late relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
sawtoothed |
= serrate |
margin |
|
Having regularly spaced, angular convexities oriented at an acute angle to the generalized perimeter. See also scalloped (crenate), small-scalloped (crenulate), small-sawtoothed (serrulate), small-toothed (denticulate), toothed (dentate). |
|
small-sawtoothed |
= serrulate |
margin |
|

architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
bristle 2 |
