architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a thyrse, but not strictly such. |
|
stalkless |
= exstipitate, sessile, unstalked |
architecture |
|
Lacking a stalk, thus inserted ("sitting") directly upon the bearing structure. |
|
inaperturate |

architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking an aperture of any type. |

pericolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |

|
branched 1 |
= ramiform, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
labiate |
= lipped; > 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. |
|
tergeminate |
= trigeminous, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
branched 2 |
|
architecture |
laminar veinlet |
Dividing within the areole, each branch ending blindly. |
|
polyplicate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Inaperturate with meridional folds, thus appearing longitudinally wrinkled. |
|
…sepalous |
= …sepaled |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having the number of sepals indicated by the prefix; as in tetrasepalous. |
|
bigeminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
allagostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens inserted alternately upon petals and the receptacle. |
|
isodiametric |
|
architecture |
|
Of approximately constant breadth in all median planes. |
|
syncarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having one or more compound pistils. |
|
compact |
= congested, crowded |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
|
aseptate |
|
architecture |
|
Lacking internal walls or partitions (septae). |
|
sectile |
|
architecture |
pollinium |
Having partially separated sectors, as though cut. |
|
papilionaceous |
= butterfly-like |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
|
diffuse |
|
architecture |
plant, stem |
Having branches remote and divergent to divaricate. |
|
…pinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order pinnate; as in bipinnate, tripinnate. |
|
thyrsiform |
= thyrse-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a thyrse, but not strictly such. |
|
butterfly-like |
= papilionaceous |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
