hollow |
= excavate(d) |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |

epigeal |
= epigeous |
location |
|
Upon or very near the surface of the ground; esp. of cotyledons following seed germination. |
|
epigeous |
= epigeal |
location |
|
Upon or very near the surface of the ground; esp. of cotyledons following seed germination. |
|
plumule |
= epicotyl |
STRUCTURE |
|
A distinguishable nascent shoot developed in the embryo in some taxa, consisting of a shoot axis with unexpanded internodes and one or more leaf primordia, being that portion of the embryo above the level of cotyledon insertion; the primordial shoot, when developed by the embryo within a seed; the first bud of a spermatophyte, when developed by an embryo within the seed. In other taxa the shoot is represented in the embryo only by a quiescent apical meristem at the summit of the embryonic axis. |

exocarp |
= epicarp |
STRUCTURE |
|
The outermost tissue layer of a pericarp. |
|
calyculus 1 pl. calyculi |

sword-shaped 2 |
= ensiform |
solid shape |
|
Elongate and moderately slender, strongly compressed, the opposite faces plane, parallel, broadest at the base and gradually attenuate to a short, more strongly attenuate, acute apex; like a broadsword blade. |
|
sword-shaped 1 |
= ensate |
plane shape |
|
