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. |
ligulate 1 |
= liguliferous |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
basiramous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching at or near the base. See also basicauliramous. |
paracytic |
= rubiaceous |

stomate |
Having one or more subsidiary cells to either side, all oriented parallel to its long axis. |
anthelate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
solid |
= continuous |
architecture |
pith |
Uninterrupted by cavities and essentially homogeneous in texture at axis maturity. |
leaf-like |
= foliaceous |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
diplostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the sepals, the distal whorl with members directly above the petals. See also obdiplostemonous. |
…colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having the number of colpi indicated by the prefix, each containing a pore; as in dicolporate, 3-colporate. |
articulate(d) |
= jointed |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these articulations (joints) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
tunicate |
|
architecture |
structure |
Having a tunic. |
dialypetalous |
= apopetalous, choripetalous, polypetalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having two or more distinct petals; having the petals unfused. |
peltate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Petiolate with the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and otherwise free from the blade. |
radicant |
= rooting |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
ligulate 2 |
|
architecture |
floret |
Bisexual with a zygomorphic corolla; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
hollow |
= excavate(d) |
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. |
stoloniferous |
= runnering, sarmentose |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
rhizomatous |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having rhizomes. |
non-septate |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Lacking transverse inter- or intracellular septa or partitions. |
helicoid-cymose |
> cincinnate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more helicoid cymes. See also scorpioid-cymose. |
scapigerous |
= scapose |
architecture |
plant |
Having the inflorescence borne upon a leafless, essentially naked axis (scape) that arises directly from a caudex or rhizome beneath, at, or slightly above the substrate surface. |
colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (colpi), each containing a pore. |
petal-like |
= petaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
…loculed |
= …locular |
architecture |
anther, ovary, fruit |
Having the number of locules indicated by the prefix; as in one-loculed, five-loculed. |
radicate |
= rooted |
architecture |
plant |
Having one or more roots. |
