composite |
= compound |
architecture |
|
Unitary as a whole but comprising two or more equivalent substructural entities, these topologically distinct (e.g., leaflets in a compound leaf) or not (e.g., carpels in a compound pistil). |
carpellate (not recommended) |

architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional pistils but no functional stamens, thus unisexual and female. |
…sepaled |

architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having the number of sepals indicated by the prefix; as in four-sepaled. |
dichotomous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing two coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
racemiform |
= raceme-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a raceme, but not strictly such. |

Comprising one or more glomerules; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |

irregular 1 |
|
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Imperfectly actinomorphic, the constituents disposed symmetrically but unequal in size and/or shape. See also peloric. |
ringent |
= gaping, personate |
architecture |
corolla |
Bilabiate with the upper lip inwardly arcuate, the lower lip prominent and appressed to the upper at the level of the throat or junction of tube and limb, which is thus normally occluded but which gapes, resembling an open mouth, when the whole is compressed laterally. |
corymbiform |
= corymb-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
headed 1 |
= capitate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more capitula. |
pinnate |
> pinnatifid, pinnatisect |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets inserted at different points along and to either side of the axis, from which those on each side diverge more or less in parallel; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar, feather-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "pinnately once-compound." See also imparipinnate, palmatipinnate, paripinnate, …pinnate, pinnatifid. |
thyrse-like |
= thyrsiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a thyrse, but not strictly such. |
stalkless |
= exstipitate, sessile, unstalked |
architecture |
|
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
inaperturate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking an aperture of any type. |
pericolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Pericolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
bracted |
= bracteate |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bracts. |
compound |
= composite |
architecture |
|
Unitary as a whole but comprising two or more equivalent substructural entities, these topologically distinct (e.g., leaflets in a compound leaf) or not (e.g., carpels in a compound pistil). |
anastomosing |
= net-like, netted, reticulate |
architecture |
tertiary and higher-order laminar veins, excl. veinlets |
Interconnecting more or less regularly. |
polypetalous |

Having two or more distinct petals; having the petals unfused. |
lipped |
= labiate; > bilabiate, one-lipped, two-lipped, unilabiate |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members some or all of whose distal portions form one or two lip-like structures. |

= …carpellate |
architecture |
flower, gynoecium, pistil, ovary, fruit |
Deemed to have or to consist of the number of carpels indicated by the prefix; as in six-carpelled, 3-carpelled. |
