|
articulate(d) |
= jointed |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these articulations (joints) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
|
corymbiform |
= corymb-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
|
polytomous |
= flabelliramous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing more than three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
…digitate |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order digitate; as in tridigitate. |
|
foliaceous |
= leaf-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
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. |
|
continuous 3 |
|
architecture |
rachilla, rachis |
Not disarticulating at maturity. |
|
radiate 1 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing one or more peripheral series of florets that are pistillate (either fertile or sterile) or neuter and that have zygomorphic corollas, and one or more central series of bisexual or functionally staminate florets that have actinomorphic corollas; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
wingless 2 |
= exalate |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
|
basiramous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching at or near the base. See also basicauliramous. |
|
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
|
stalked 4 |
= petiolulate |
architecture |
leaflet |
Having a petiolule. |
|
amplexicaulous var. amplexicaul |
= clasping |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the bearing axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
|
pericolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more than three surficial grooves (colpi) oriented such that some or all of them cross meridians. |
|
crowded |
= compact, congested |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
|
corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
|
epistom(at)ic |
= epistomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on only the adaxial surface. |
|
unijugate |
= bifoliolate, two-leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one pair of leaflets. |
|
apostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct stamens; having the stamens unfused. |
|
…locular |
= …loculed |
architecture |
anther, ovary, fruit |
Having the number of locules indicated by the prefix; as in plurilocular, trilocular, unilocular. |
|
…celled |
= …cellular |
architecture |
|
Having the number of cells indicated by the prefix; as in one-celled, few-celled, 5-celled. |
|
synsepalous |
= gamosepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more sepals that are partially or wholly connate. |
|
…morphic |
|
architecture |
|
Existing within the taxon in the number of distinct structural states indicated by the prefix, the states segregated in different sets of plants or not; as in monomorphic, polymorphic, trimorphic. |
|
compact |
= congested, crowded |
architecture |
|
Having equivalent constituent parts disposed very near to one another. |
|
pinnate |
> pinnatifid, pinnatisect |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets inserted at different points along and to either side of the axis, from which those on each side diverge more or less in parallel; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar, feather-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "pinnately once-compound." See also imparipinnate, palmatipinnate, paripinnate, …pinnate, pinnatifid. |
