architecture |
flower |
Having a pedicel. |
…sulcate |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …furrowed, …grooved, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of sulci indicated by the prefix; esp. pollen grains; as in monosulcate, polysulcate, 3-sulcate. |
two-lipped |
= bilabiate; < labiate, lipped |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members whose distal portions form two unequal, opposing, lip-like structures, one adaxial, one abaxial. See also gaping (personate, ringent). |
paleate |

receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets, receptacular bracts); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
exalate 2 |
= wingless |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
epulvinate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence axis, petiole |
Lacking a pulvinus. |
heterocolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having long, narrow, regularly disposed lacunae (pseudocolpi). |
apostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct stamens; having the stamens unfused. |
…sepaled |
= …sepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having the number of sepals indicated by the prefix; as in four-sepaled. |
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
carpellate (not recommended) |
= pistillate |
architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional pistils but no functional stamens, thus unisexual and female. |
imparipinnate |
= odd-pinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
crowded |
= compact, congested |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
polyplicate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Inaperturate with meridional folds, thus appearing longitudinally wrinkled. |
symmetric(al) 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Divisible into essentially equal halves along one or more lines or planes. |
connate-perfoliate |
|
architecture |
opposite laminar structures |
Having the bases in each pair fused and together encircling the bearing axis. See also amplexicaulous, perfoliate. |
fascicled 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fasciculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
…ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order ternate; as in biternate, thrice-ternate. |
laminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
stalked 2 |
= pedunculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
astomatiferous |
= non-stomate-bearing |
architecture |
|
Lacking stomates in the epidermis. |
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. |
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
perfoliate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having a sessile lamina (blade) that uninterruptedly encircles the bearing axis, which thus passes through it at some point within the margin. See also amplexicaulous, connate-perfoliate. |
prop-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing and buttressed by prop roots. |
