|
cauline |
|
insertion |
|
Upon, arising from, or otherwise directly associated with the stem. |
|
bud scale |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A scale that, alone or aggregated with others, envelops and protects a bud. |
|
indeterminate |
|
development |
|
Having the lateral (peripheral, basal, or proximal) portions differentiating first and the terminal (central, apical, or distal) portion later, development thus proceeding sequentially upward or inward. |
|
isostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens essentially alike in size and shape. |
|
smooth 2 |
|
relief |
bark |
Unfissured; not cracked or split to any significant degree. |
|
levering |
|
habit |
trichome |
Forming part of a pappus and reflexing at maturity, thus helping to loosen the individual fruit (cypsela) from the capitulum (head); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
siliceous |
|
texture |
epidermis, trichome |
Containing deposits of silica, thus hardened and abrasive. |
|
crassate |
|
architecture |
|
Relatively thick for the type of structure or in the taxonomic context. |
|
stipel |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A stipular analogue subtending a leaflet. |
|
staminodial |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the staminodes. |
|
cymule |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A diminutive cyme, with few flowers, few or no branches, and short axes. |
|
subtending |
|
insertion |
|
Arising from the axis just below and very near to the base of some other specified lateral structure. This term is meaningless if the structure that is subtended is not indicated. |
|
style |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A narrow, usually elongate, ontogenetically distal portion of a simple or compound pistil, overtopping the ovary and bearing one or more stigmas; arising from the summit of the ovary, but sometimes apparently from its base at maturity to ontogenetic displacement from its primordial distal position. In a compound pistil the various simple (carpellary) components of the style(s) may not be connate over their entire lengths; the pistil is then regarded as having a branched style or styles. |
|
muricate |
|
relief |
|
Having short, hard, more or less acute, transversely round protrusions overall. See also muriculate. |
|
syncolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having two or more fused or confluent surficial grooves (colpi). |
|
embryotega pl. embryotegae, embryotegas |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A small, hardened, lid-like portion of the testa (seed coat) at the micropyle of some seeds, detaching at germination. |
|
odor |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Olfactory stimulation. |
|
adenopetalous 2 |
|
derivation |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having petals derived from glandular structures. |
|
suprabasal |
|
position |
|
Just above the base of the structure in point. |
|
dyadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Cohering and shed in pairs, each tetrad having separated into halves. |
|
partial |
|
extent |
|
Not reaching fully from the ovary wall or pericarp to the center of the ovary or fruit and/or from the apex to the base of its interior, thus not completely separating adjacent locules, which are recognized and delimited by extrapolating from the incomplete septal boundary(ies), the ovary or fruit nonetheless effectively unilocular. |
|
tiered |
|
arrangement |
|
In two or more rows that are arrayed one above another. |
|
…angular 1 |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Forming a figure with the number of sides indicated by the prefix. |
|
epiphyllous |
|
position |
|
Upon the leaves, or partially adnate thereto and apparently arising therefrom. |
|
phanerocotyloid |
|
germination |
seed |
Having the cotyledon(s) emerging from the seed coat. |
