stomate-bearing |
= stomatiferous |
architecture |
|
Having stomates present in the epidermis. |
bifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that differ distinctly in appearance. |
spiciform |
= spike-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a spike, but not strictly such. |
amentate |
= catkinate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more aments. |
anomocytic |
= ranunculaceous |
architecture |
stomate |
Lacking subsidiary cells. |
crassate |
|
architecture |
|
Relatively thick for the type of structure or in the taxonomic context. |
twisted |
= contorted |
architecture |
axis |
Having a helical pattern of relief and/or coloration along its length. |
carpellate (not recommended) |
= pistillate |
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional pistils but no functional stamens, thus unisexual and female. |
racemose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more racemes. |
bractleted |
= bracteolate |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bractlets (bracteoles, prophylls). |
geminicolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having four or more surficial grooves (colpi) disposed in pairs. |
one-leafleted |
= single-leafleted, unifoliolate |
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. |
cucullate 1 |
= hooded |
architecture |
|
Bearing, incorporating, or surmounted by a hood-shaped structure. |
syndetocheilic |
= compound-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
stomatiferous |
= stomate-bearing |
architecture |
|
Having stomates present in the epidermis. |
palmatipinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, the first order palmate, the second pinnate. |
…carpelled |
= …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. |
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. |
digitate |
= palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
cormose |
|
architecture |
plant |
Growing from corms. |
acaulous |
= stemless |
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. |
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
basiramous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching at or near the base. See also basicauliramous. |
amphicarpic |
= amphicarpous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
anthelate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
