architecture |
|
Lacking stomates in the epidermis. |
|
scapose |
= scapigerous |
architecture |
plant |
Having the inflorescence borne upon a leafless, essentially naked axis (scape) that arises directly from a caudex or rhizome beneath, at, or slightly above the substrate surface. |
|

|
dendritic |
= tree-like |
architecture |
|
Like the branched axial structure of a tree. |
|
branched 1 |
= ramiform, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
jointed |
= articulate(d) |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these joints (articulations) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
|
monolete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Having a single linear tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from ontogenetic coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |
|
apocarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having two or more simple pistils (carpels). |
|
homocladic |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
Having stems that do not differ distinctly in size, shape and/or constitution. |
|
anisopetalous |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having petals unequal in size and/or shape. |
|
cross-shaped 1 |
= cruciate |
architecture |
corolla, perianth |
Having four petals or tepals disposed in pairs of opposite members, the whole resembling a cross when viewed from above. |
|
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
|
didynamous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Diadelphous with two stamens in each set. See also tetradynamous. |
|
leafless |
= aphyllous |
architecture |
plant, axis |
Not bearing leaves. |
|
many-stemmed |
= multicipital |
architecture |
plant |
Having many, more or less equal, principal stems arising at substrate level from a caudex or root crown. |
|
unifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that are essentially similar in appearance. |
|
…petalous |
= …petaled |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having the number of petals indicated by the prefix; as in pentapetalous. |
|
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. |
|
haplocheilic |
= simple-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
|
branched 2 |
|
architecture |
laminar veinlet |
Dividing within the areole, each branch ending blindly. |
|
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
|
spinose 2 |
= echinate, spiny |
architecture |
|
Bearing spines. See also spinulose. |
