|
falcate 1 |
= sickle-shaped |
plane shape |
|
Elongate and laterally arcuate with the lateral edges more or less concentric, the degree of curvature decreasing distally or not; like the outline of the face of a sickle blade. |
|
falcate 2 |

derivation |
indusium |
Constituting a marginal fold of the lamina as a whole and not a distinct enation from the epidermis. |
|
fan-shaped |
= flabellate, flabelliform |
solid shape |
|
Strongly compressed, broadest near the apex and attenuate to a narrow base, plaited longitudinally, the alternating folds radiating from the base, the whole basically triangular in broad aspect; like a partially expanded folding fan. |

|
SUBSTANCE |
|
A dry, meal- or flour-like covering. |
|
farinaceous 1 |

|
farinose |
< mealy |
pubescence |
|
Bearing minute, relatively stout trichomes, collectively meal- or flour-like (farinaceous) and easily detached. See also farinaceous. |
|
fasciate(d) |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Abnormally proliferated in size and/or number and more or less connate, the result often monstrous. |
|
fascicle |
= bundle (not recommended) |
nominative |
inflorescence |
A cluster of pedicellate flowers that are inserted very close together and little if at all divergent from one another, the whole sessile or subsessile. |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
|
fascicled 2 |
= bundled (not recommended), fasciculate |
arrangement |

= bundled (not recommended), fascicled |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
|
