|
corolla pl. corollae, corollas |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, the petals of a flower, whether distinct or connate; the inner or distal envelope of a differentiated perianth, whether the other envelope (calyx) is actually present or is deemed to be absent due to evolutionary reduction. |
|
corolla tube 1 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A relatively narrow, fully connate portion of a sympetalous (gamopetalous) corolla proximal to a broader portion (limb) that comprises the distinct or connate distal portions of the petals; except in bisexual or staminate disc florets of Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
corolla tube 2 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
The portion of the corolla of a bisexual or staminate disc floret proximal to the level of filament insertion; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
corona pl. coronae, coronas |
> gynostegium |
STRUCTURE |
|
A crown-like set of connate or distinct appendages or enations borne upon a corolla or androecium or between them. |
|
coronal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the corona. |
|
coronal |
|
position |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the corona. |
|
coroniform |
= crown-shaped |
solid shape |
|
Shortly and broadly tubular overall, circumferentially continuous at the base, distally so or not; like a monarch's crown. |
|
corrugate 1 |
= crumpled |
aestivation |
|
Having members tightly and irregularly folded, the whole appearing as though wadded upon emergence. |
|
corrugate 2 |
= rugose, wrinkled |
relief |
|
Having irregular, narrow ridges or creases, the intervening areas flat or only slightly concave or convex, appearing overall as though crumpled and then spread out. See also rugulose. |
|
corticate |
= hard-coated |
texture |
|
Having a hard exterior layer and a distinct, softer interior. |
|
corymb |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
An indeterminate, more or less condensed raceme with the pedicels progressively shorter toward the distal end, the flowers all borne at approximately the same level, the whole generally plane or convex at the top, the flowers maturing from the edge inward (i.e., the proximal or outer flowers maturing first). |
|
corymb-like |
= corymbiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
|
corymbiform |
= corymb-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
|
corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
|
costa pl. costae |
= rib; > midnerve (not recommended), midrib, midvein; >< lateral vein |
STRUCTURE |
|
A primary vein of a laminar structure, having a longitudinal course, either medial or lateral, often prominent. See also secondary vein, tertiary vein, veinlet. |
|
costal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the costa(e) of a laminar structure. |
|
costal |
|
position |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the costa(e) of a laminar structure. |
|
costate |
= ribbed |
architecture |
laminar structure |
Having one or more costae (ribs). |
|
costule |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A longitudinal primary vein in a diminutive laminar structure, such as the blade of a leaflet, pinna or pinnule; a diminutive costa (rib). |
|
cottony |
> lanuginose |
pubescence |
|
Of or bearing relatively long and fine, intertwined, somewhat matted, capillate trichomes. See also lanuginose. |
