axis |
Articulate(d) and with the main portions of the whole separating at the joints upon maturity or senescence. |

= unbranched |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Not branching at any point. |

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. |
