Having all sets of basic floral structures (calyx and corolla, or else undifferentiated perianth; androecium; and gynoecium) present and functionally normal. |
dichlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the laminar (blade) area naturally devoid of any tissue. |
corymb-like |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
deliquescent 1 |
|
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Branching laterally and repeatedly such that the initial axis loses its prominence over the length of the structure and seems to dissolve into the succesive orders of branches. See also excurrent. |
