|
…-toothed 1 |
= …dentate |
apex |
|
Generally truncate but with the number of antrorse, attenuate, distal lobes indicated by the prefix; as in three-toothed. |
|
forked |
= furcate; > bifurcate |
apex |
|
Having two or more terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |

|
lamellate |
|
apex |
laminar structure |
Having two small terminal plates of tissue closely parallel to one another and perpendicular to the plane of the lamina. |
|
…dentate 1 |
= …-toothed |
apex |
|
Generally truncate but with the number of antrorse, attenuate, distal lobes indicated by the prefix; as in tridentate. |
|
mucronate |
|
apex |
|
Terminating abruptly in a short, hard point that is a continuation of vascular tissue. See also apiculate, mucronulate. |

unifoliolate |
= one-leafleted, single-leafleted |
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. |
