|
pistillate |
= carpellate (not recommended) |
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |

|
excavate(d) |
= hollow |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |
|
personate |
= gaping, ringent |
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. |
|
liguliflorous |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing florets that all are bisexual and have zygomorphic corollas; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
chambered |
|
architecture |
pith |
Interrupted by cavities that are more or less regularly spaced along the axis and that result from disintegration of tissue prior to axis maturity. |
|
pedunculate |
< stalked |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
|
leafless |
= aphyllous |
architecture |
plant, axis |
Not bearing leaves. |
|
spike-like |
= spiciform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a spike, but not strictly such. |
|
glomerulate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomerules; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
hygroscopic |
|
architecture |
structure |
Increasing or decreasing in size according to the presence or absence of surrounding moisture, due to differential swelling or shrinking of component anatomical structures. |
|
ramiform |
= branched, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (colpi), each containing a pore. |
|

= bundled (not recommended), fascicled |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
|
gamophyllous |
|

architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having the number of pistils indicated by the prefix; as in three-pistilled. |
|
jointed |
= articulate(d) |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these joints (articulations) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
|
excurrent |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally such that the initial axis retains its prominence over the length of the structure, the succesive orders of branches relatively smaller. See also deliquescent. |
