laminar structure |
Having one or more costae (ribs). |

foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces. |
|
dichasiiform |
= dichasium-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a dichasium, but not strictly such. |
|
contractile |
|
architecture |
structure |
Diminishing in length, or acquiring the potential energy for a sudden decrease, due to the generation of internal tension during tissue development. |
|
baccate |
= berry-like |
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a berry. |
|
pitcher-bladed |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a pitcher-shaped (ascidiform) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |

…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
|
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. |
|
simple 1 |
