…grooved |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …furrowed, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|

|
Finely muricate. |
operculum pl. opercula |
= lid |
STRUCTURE |
|
A distal, cover-like portion of a structure whose main body is otherwise closed, transversely discontinuous with the main body around most of the circumference, or becoming partially or wholly separate by transverse dehiscence; as of an ascidium (pitcher), pollen grain, pyxis, or sporangium (spore case). |
revolute 1 |
|
margin |
|
Rolled inward abaxially. |
pseudoaxillary |
|
insertion |
|
Only apparently axillary; originally extraaxillary but displaced to the axil by differential growth during development. |
erose 1 |
|
margin |
|
Having rough, very irregular depressions throughout. |
disk |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
See disc. |
alate 1 |
= winged |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
internodal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the internodes. |
spatula-shaped |
= spatulate |
plane shape |
|
Elongate, broadest near a rounded apex, gradually attenuate to a narrower base; like the outline of the broad face of a spatula blade. |
suborbicular |
= subglobose, subrotund, subspheric(al), subspheroid(al) |
solid shape |
|
Broadly ellipsoid with a length:width ratio closely approaching 1:1; almost orbicular, slightly longer than broad. |
campanulate |
= bell-shaped |
solid shape |
|
Circular in transverse section, inflated proximally, thence broadening gradually to a flared distal portion. |
lacrimate |
= teardrop-shaped |
plane shape |
|
Like the stylized lateral outline of a teardrop; broadest just below the middle, broadly rounded to the base, and acutely attenuate to the apex; like the stylized lateral outline of a teardrop. |
glandular 2 |
|
exudation |
|
Anatomically distinct and producing and exuding a particular substance. |
fringed |
= fimbriate |
margin |
|
Regularly divided into slender, closely adjacent, more or less flexible segments, or having protrusions that give the appearance of such division. See also fine-fringed (fimbrillate). |
mitriform |
= mitre-shaped |
solid shape |
|
Broadest and transversely round to oval proximally, tapering bilaterally above the middle to a central peak; like a peaked hat or cap. |
mammose |
|
solid shape |
|
Having mammae. |
transverse 2 |
|
orientation |
|
Perpendicular to the long axis of the context of reference. |
dens pl. dentes |
= tooth |
STRUCTURE |
|
One of a series of regularly spaced, angular, marginal convexities oriented more or less perpendicular to the generalized perimeter of a laminar structure. See also crena (scallop), crenule (scalloplet), sawtooth, sawtoothlet, toothlet. |
small-toothed |
= denticulate |
margin |
|
Finely toothed (dentate). See also sawtoothed (serrate), scalloped (crenate), small-scalloped (crenulate), small-sawtoothed (serrulate). |
epibracteal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the bracts, or partially adnate thereto and apparently arising therefrom. |
selliform var. sellaeform |
= saddle-shaped |
solid shape |
|
Relatively thin, broad and long, strongly compound-curved, concavely from end to end and convexly from side to side; like the generalized shape of a saddle. |
