architecture |
|
Comprising two or more basic structural entities, at least two of which are dissimilar. |
|
stalkless |

calyculate 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Subtended by a calyculus (epicalyx). |
|
cruciate 1 |

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

|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
|
composite |
