palinactinodromous |
|
venation |
|
Compound actinodromous, with higher-order branch radiations above the level of and similar to the primary one. |
simple-craspedodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a midvein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins and their branches all running toward and terminating at the margin. |
semicraspedodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, each secondary vein running thence toward and bifurcate near the margin, one branch terminating at the margin, the other upwardly arcuate and merging with the superadjacent secondary vein, thus forming one of a series of marginal loops. |
craspedodromous, mixed- |
|
venation |
|
Having a midvein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins running thence toward the margin, some becoming indistinct before reaching it, others terminating there. |
single-veined |
= hyphodromous, one-veined |
venation |
|
Having one median, primary vein and no other venation externally evident. |
craspedodromous, simple- |
|
venation |
|
Having a midvein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins and their branches all running toward and terminating at the margin. |
eucamptodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins upwardly arcuate, gradually becoming indistinct interior to the margin, and serially interconnected by cross-branches without formation of marginal loops. |
hyphodromous |
= one-veined, single-veined |
venation |
|
Having one median, primary vein and no other venation externally evident. |
unctuous 2 |
= greasy, oily, oleaginous |
texture |
|
Liquid or deformably solid, cohesive, and slippery to the touch. |
rigent |
= rigid, stiff |
texture |
|
Strongly resisting deformation over its length. |
pithy |
= medullose |
texture |
|
Loose or spongy internally, denser and firmer externally. |
granular |
= granulate, granulose |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
firm |
|
texture |
|
Yielding under only moderately strong pressure; only slightly deformable without internal structural disruption. |
granulate |
= granular, granulose |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
rigid |

texture |
|
Liquid or deformably solid, cohesive, and slippery to the touch. |
papery |
= chartaceous, papyraceous |
texture |
|
Very thin, flexible, and readily torn; like paper. See also membranaceous (membranous), pergamentaceous (parchment-like). |
granulose |
= granular, granulate |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
succulent |
