|
partial |
|
extent |
|
Not reaching fully from the ovary wall or pericarp to the center of the ovary or fruit and/or from the apex to the base of its interior, thus not completely separating adjacent locules, which are recognized and delimited by extrapolating from the incomplete septal boundary(ies), the ovary or fruit nonetheless effectively unilocular. |
|
epipterous |
|
solid shape |
|
Alate with a single terminal wing. |
|
bark |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
The outermost portion of any shoot or root axis having secondary growth, consisting of all those tissues outside the vascular cambium; sometimes exhibiting zonation into inner, living bark and outer, dead bark; usually described only as to external appearance. |
|
perianth |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, all the sterile, primary, lateral organs (tepals, or sepals and/or petals) of a flower; inserted upon the floral axis immediately beneath (proximal to) the reproductive organs (androecium and/or gynoecium) and surrounding them, often protectively; lacking in some taxa; the individual members typically laminar and more or less foliaceous; widely regarded as consisting of the evolutionarily modified leaves of a fertile shoot; the constituent members undifferentiated with respect to one another, or else differentiated into more or less distinct floral envelopes (calyx and corolla), one or the other of which is deemed lacking in some taxa due to evolutionary reduction following differentiation. |
|
flesh |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Tissue that is fairly firm and dense, juicy or at least moist, and easily cut. |
|
limb 2 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
The portion of the corolla of a bisexual or staminate disc floret distal to the level of filament insertion; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
haplomorphic |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the members of each set of basic floral structures numerous and spirally arranged, the flower hemispheric to conoidal overall. |
|
rhizoid |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Any structure that is similar to a root in appearance and function but that is not a true root ontogenetically and anatomically, especially one produced from a gametophyte thallus. |
|
rachis 1 var. rhachis |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A main or first-order axis of a compound leaf blade. |
|
unequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Distinctly differing in extent. See also equal, subequal. |
|
receptacular |
|
position |
|
Upon, arising from, or otherwise directly associated with the receptacle. |
|
disc 2 var. disk |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, the disc florets of a capitulum (head), or the surface presented by them. |
|
vascular |
|
position |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the vasculature. |
|
concentric |
|
position |
|
Having a center or axis of symmetry coincident with that of the context of reference. |
|
polygamomonoecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Basically monoecious but with some or all plants bearing some bisexual flowers. |
|
concolor(ous) |
|
coloration |
|
Uniform in hue and intensity of color; esp. leaves with identically colored adaxial and abaxial surfaces. |
|
polygamous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having both bisexual and unisexual flowers, borne on the same or on different plants. |
|
summer annual |
|
nominative |
plant |
Annual, germinating in spring or early summer, reproducing sexually with no prolonged vegetative stage beforehand, and dying by late summer or autumn. See also winter annual. |
|
septicidal |
|
dehiscence |
fruit |
Splitting longitudinally into or through the suture(s) in the outer wall and, if present, through the septum(-a) between locules, the latter thus opened indirectly to the outside. |
|
caespitose |
|
habit |
|
See cespitose. |
|
transverse 2 |
|
orientation |
|
Perpendicular to the long axis of the context of reference. |
|
hysteranthous |
|
maturation |
non-floral structure, esp. leaf |
Maturing later than the flowers. |
|
cauline |
|
position |
|
Upon, arising from, or otherwise directly associated with the stem. |
|
monochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a monocyclic perianth. |
|
infrabracteal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the axis directly below a bract insertion. |
