flabelliramous |
= polytomous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem to produce more than three equal derivatives. |
anomocytic |
= ranunculaceous |
architecture |
stomate |

mucronate |
|
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a short, hard point that is a continuation of vascular tissue. See also apiculate, mucronulate. |
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
furcate |
= forked; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
mucronulate |
|
apex |
|
Finely mucronate. See also apiculate. |
retuse |
|
apex |
|
Round overall with an obtuse terminal sinus. |
corniculate |
= horned |
apex |
|
Bearing one or more cornicula (horns). |
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
cone-shaped |
= conic(al) |
apex |
|
Transversely round, essentially triangular in median longitudinal section, and broadest proximally. See also obconic(al). |
hooked |
= hamate, uncinate |
apex |
|

piliferous |
|
apex |
|
Having a distinct, fine, weak, hair-like portion or protrusion. |
oblique 1 |
|
apex |
|
Asymmetric about its longitudinal axis. |
pungent 1 |
= acrid |
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a rigid, relatively short, sharp point composed of both vascular and laminar tissues. |
sharp |
= acute |
apex |
|
Acutely angular; regularly and more or less straightly attenuate to an angular tip, the sides intersecting at an angle of less than 90°. |
conic(al) |
= cone-shaped |
apex |
|
Transversely round, essentially triangular in median longitudinal section, and broadest proximally. See also obconic(al). |
caudate 1 |
= tailed |
apex |
laminar structure |
