Timing of the attainment of functional maturity, sometimes relative to other structures, sometimes as to constituent structures relative to each other. |
|
bulblet |
= bulbil |
STRUCTURE |
|
A small bulb-like structure produced from a sterile or fertile plant structure other than a bulb, usually within a leaf axil, leaf sinus, or inflorescence, serving as a vegetative propagule. |
|
oblate |
|
plane shape |
|
Symmetrically elongate and broader than long perpendicular to the developmental or polar axis. |
|
pellucid |
= hyaline; > translucent, transparent |
coloration |
|
Transmitting light uniformly. |
|
craspedodromous, mixed- |
|
venation |
|
Having a midvein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins running thence toward the margin, some becoming indistinct before reaching it, others terminating there. |
|
discal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the floral disc. |
|
replum pl. repla |
< dissepiment, septum |
STRUCTURE |
|
The persistent wall or partition that separates the two locules of a silicle or silique. |
|
erose 2 |
= eroded |
relief |
|
Appearing as if chewed or gnawed; having very irregular localized deviations from its generalized line. |
|
second glume |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
The upper (distal) member of a pair of small bracts inserted at the base of a grass (Poaceae) spikelet. |
|
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
solid shape |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |
|
hastate 2 |
= halberd-head-shaped |
plane shape |
|
Basically triangular with an acute apex and two large, widely divergent basal lobes, each generally triangular and distally acute; like the stylized outline of the broad lateral face of a halberd head. |
|
subapical |
= subterminal |
position |
|
Lateral and just below the apex. |
|
infructescence 1 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A mature (fruiting) inflorescence (static sense). |
|
tholiform |
= dome-shaped |
solid shape |
|
Convex overall, broadest at the base, and transversely more or less circular to elliptical throughout. |
|
lidded |
= operculate |
architecture |
|
Having a lid (operculum). |
|
acrocaulous |
|
position |
|
At or very near the stem tip. |
|
architecture |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Composite structural configuration as to type, orientation, symmetry, insertion, position, fusion, presence, number, relative size, shape, texture, differentiation, and/or derivation of components and features. Overlaps conceptually with habit. |
|
lumen pl. lumina |
|
FEATURE |
|
A space enclosed by the wall(s) or membrane(s) of a structure. |
|
