anisostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having stamens unequal in size and/or shape. |
|
eradicate |
= rootless |
architecture |
plant |
Lacking a root. |
|
unifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that are essentially similar in appearance. |
|
unifoliolate |
= one-leafleted, single-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
|
tillering |
|
architecture |
plant, stem |
Producing tillers; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae) and other monocotyledons (Liliidae). |
|
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
|
exstipitate |
= sessile, stalkless, unstalked |
architecture |
structure |
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
palaceous |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and adnate to it from there to the margin, thus peltate but with the distal portion of the petiole adnate to the blade, the whole shovel- or spade-like. |
|
ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmate with three leaflets. |
|
chorisepalous |
= aposepalous, dialysepalous, polysepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more distinct sepals; having the sepals unfused. |
|
deliquescent 1 |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally and repeatedly such that the initial axis loses its prominence over the length of the structure and seems to dissolve into the succesive orders of branches. See also excurrent. |
|
eglandular |
= glandless |
architecture |
|
Lacking glands. |
|
petaloid |
= petal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
apopetalous |
= choripetalous, dialypetalous, polypetalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having two or more distinct petals; having the petals unfused. |
|
trichotomous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
odd-pinnate |
= imparipinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
|
catkinate |
= amentate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more catkins. |
|
asepalous |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth |
Lacking sepals. |
|
stalked 3 |
= petiolate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a petiole. |
|
branched 1 |
= ramiform, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
eramous |
= unbranched |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Not branching at any point. |
|
unijugate |
= bifoliolate, two-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one pair of leaflets. |
|
interrupted 2 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having one or more gaps in an otherwise uniform distribution of flowers or branch units along the main axis. |
|
exstipulate |
= estipulate |
architecture |
leaf |
Lacking stipules. |
|
sulcate |
= colpate, fossulate, furrowed, grooved, valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (sulci). |
