architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
cyme-like |

actinocytic |
|
architecture |
stomate |
Having several subsidiary cells oriented radially to its center. |

architecture |
stomate |
Having one or more subsidiary cells to either side, all oriented parallel to its long axis. |
|
…floral |
= …flowered |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the number of flowers indicated by the prefix; as in bifloral, multifloral, oligofloral, unifloral. |

|
architecture |
plant, inflorescence |
Bearing a spathe or spathes. |

architecture |
stomate |
Having three subsidiary cells, one distinctly smaller than the others. |
|
stemless |
= acaulous |
architecture |
plant |
Lacking any evident, elongate, aboveground stem, other than reproductive axes, at maturity, the leaves and/or reproductive axes arising essentially at substrate level from a very short axis with highly congested nodes. |
|
…sulcate |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …furrowed, …grooved, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of sulci indicated by the prefix; esp. pollen grains; as in monosulcate, polysulcate, 3-sulcate. |

architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members whose distal portions form two unequal, opposing, lip-like structures, one adaxial, one abaxial. See also gaping (personate, ringent). |
|
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
|
exindusiate |
|
architecture |
sorus |
Lacking an indusium. |
|
cymiform |
= cyme-like |
