baccate |
= berry-like |
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a berry. |
|
palmate |
= digitate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
|
petiolulate |
< stalked |
architecture |
leaflet |
Having a petiolule. |
|
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
|
wingless 1 |
= exalate |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
|
ramiform |
= branched, ramose, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
|
excavate(d) |
= hollow |
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. |
|
virgate |
= wand-like |
architecture |
axis |
Long, slender, unbranched, and more or less straight. |
|
chaffy 2 |
= paleate |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
veined |
|
architecture |
|
Having one or more orders of evident vasculature. |
|
ribbed 1 |
= costate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more ribs (costae). |
|
caryophyllaceous |
= diacytic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having two subsidiary cells that together surround it, their common wall oriented perpendicular to its long axis. |
|
…digitate |
= …palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order digitate; as in tridigitate. |
|
trabeculate |
< septate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more trabeculae. |
|
…palmate |
= …digitate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order palmate; as in bipalmate. |
|
inflorescence 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Mode or progressive pattern of bearing flowers; most appropriately described using adjectival terms. |
|
sulcate |
= colpate, fossulate, furrowed, grooved, valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively narrow and shallow depressions (sulci). |
|
single-leafleted |
= one-leafleted, unifoliolate |
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. |
|
cancellate |
= clathrate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
laminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
fasciculate 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fascicled |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
|
wingless 2 |
= exalate |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
|
hypostom(at)ic |
= hypostomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on only the abaxial surface. |
|
twisted |
= contorted |
architecture |
axis |
Having a helical pattern of relief and/or coloration along its length. |
|
ramose |
= branched, ramiform, ramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Dividing into or bearing branches. |
