panicle-like |
= paniculiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a panicle, but not strictly such. |
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |

architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having sepals unequal in size and/or shape. |
excavate(d) |
= hollow |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
alete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Lacking a tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |
weeping |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having elongate, flexible, pendent branches. |
staminate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional stamens but no functional pistils, thus unisexual and male. |
catkinate |
= amentate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more catkins. |
acroramous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching at or near the apex. |

= alate, saccate, winged |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having lateral lobes or enations resembling sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
pedate |
= pedatifid |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
digitate |
= palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
…stylous |
= …styled |
architecture |
flower, pistil |
Having the number of styles indicated by the prefix; as in monostylous, pentastylous, polystylous. |

architecture |
pollen grain, spore |
Lacking morphologically evident polarity. |

|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more panicles. |
paniculiform |

Comprising one or more fascicles. |

anisostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having stamens unequal in size and/or shape. |
excurrent |
|

Resembling an umbel, but not strictly such. |
ribbed 1 |
= costate |
architecture |
|
