…merous |
|
architecture |
compound or compound-complex structure |
Having the number of equivalent component parts indicated by the prefix (e.g., petals in a corolla), or having different component sets of equivalent parts of that number in each set (e.g., calyx and corolla in a perianth); as in monomerous, oligomerous, polymerous, tetramerous, trimerous. |
…spermous |
= …seeded |
architecture |
fruit |
Having the number of seeds indicated by the prefix; as in oligospermous, polyspermous, tetraspermous. |
exalate 1 |
= wingless |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
discoid 2 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing florets that all have actinomorphic corollas and that are all bisexual, or all functionally staminate, or all functionally pistillate; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
perfoliate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having a sessile lamina (blade) that uninterruptedly encircles the bearing axis, which thus passes through it at some point within the margin. See also amplexicaulous, connate-perfoliate. |
dichasiiform |
= dichasium-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a dichasium, but not strictly such. |
scorpioid-cymose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more scorpioid cymes. See also cincinnate, helicoid-cymose. |
stalkless |
= exstipitate, sessile, unstalked |
architecture |
|
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
…ovulate |
= …ovuled |
architecture |
megasporophyll, ovary |
Having the number of ovules indicated by the previx; as in biovulate, multiovulate. |
…colpate |
= …fossulate, …furrowed, …grooved, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of colpi indicated by the prefix; esp. pollen grains; as in monocolpate, polycolpate, 3-colpate. |
heteroblastic |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
plant |
Having juvenile and mature leaves that differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
epistomatous |
= epistom(at)ic |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on only the adaxial surface. |
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
isosepalous |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having the sepals essentially alike in size and shape. |
chambered |
|
architecture |
pith |
Interrupted by cavities that are more or less regularly spaced along the axis and that result from disintegration of tissue prior to axis maturity. |
exalate 2 |
= wingless |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
perforate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the laminar (blade) area naturally devoid of any tissue. |
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
…colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having the number of colpi indicated by the prefix, each containing a pore; as in dicolporate, 3-colporate. |
heterocephalous |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Having heads that differ distinctly in size, shape, and/or constitution. |
single-leafleted |
= one-leafleted, unifoliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
epulvinate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence axis, petiole |
Lacking a pulvinus. |
amentate |
= catkinate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more aments. |
fascicled 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fasciculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
spicate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more spikes. |
