petiolate |
< stalked |
architecture |

architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (fossulae). |
|
complex |
|
architecture |
|
Comprising two or more basic structural entities, at least two of which are dissimilar. |
|
unilabiate |
= one-lipped; < labiate, lipped |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members some or all of whose distal portions form one lip-like structure. |
|
sessile |
= exstipitate, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
percurrent 1 |
|
architecture |
primary or secondary laminar veins |
Running through the entire length of the lamina (blade), or all the way to its margin. |
|
apetalous |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth |
Lacking petals. |
|
branched 1 |
= ramiform, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
…morphic |
|
architecture |
|
Existing within the taxon in the number of distinct structural states indicated by the prefix, the states segregated in different sets of plants or not; as in monomorphic, polymorphic, trimorphic. |
|
spinulose |
|
architecture |
|
Finely spinose. |
|
…androus |
= …stamened |
architecture |
flower, floret, androecium |
Having the number of stamens indicated by the prefix; as in enneandrous, hexandrous, monandrous. |
|
one-leafleted |
= single-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. |
|
…furrowed |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …grooved, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of furrows indicated by the prefix; as in five-furrowed, 3-furrowed. |
|
many-stemmed |
= multicipital |
architecture |
plant |
Having many, more or less equal, principal stems arising at substrate level from a caudex or root crown. |
|
operculate |
= lidded |
architecture |
|
Having an operculum (lid). |
|
simple-lipped |
= haplocheilic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
|
…fossulate |
= …colpate, …furrowed, …grooved, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of fossulae indicated by the prefix; as in unifossulate, multifossulate, 5-fossulate. |
|
composite |
= compound |
architecture |
|
Unitary as a whole but comprising two or more equivalent substructural entities, these topologically distinct (e.g., leaflets in a compound leaf) or not (e.g., carpels in a compound pistil). |
|
unilateral 1 |
= one-sided |
architecture |
|
Having only one side, as compared with presumably equivalent, bilaterally symmetric structures. |
|
butterfly-like |
= papilionaceous |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
|
percurrent 2 |
|
architecture |
tertiary laminar veins |
Perpendicular to and interconnecting adjacent parallel secondary veins, the secondary and tertiary veins together forming a scalariform pattern. |
|
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
branched 2 |
|
architecture |
laminar veinlet |
Dividing within the areole, each branch ending blindly. |
|
heterostylous |
< heteromorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant, flower |
Having styles that differ distinctly in size and/or shape. |
|
crowded |
= compact, congested |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
