Bearing flowers. |
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
cyme-like |
= cymiform |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a cyme, but not strictly such. |
racemose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |

cruciferous |
= anisocytic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having three subsidiary cells, one distinctly smaller than the others. |
bundled 1 (not recommended) |
= fascicled, fasciculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
bundled 2 (not recommended) |
= fascicled, fasciculate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in one or more fascicles, the members of each inserted close together and only slightly if at all divergent from one another. |
tiered |
|
arrangement |
|
In two or more rows that are arrayed one above another. |
acyclic |
= helical, spiral |
arrangement |
|
Disposed helically about and along the axis, each on a different radius than the one(s) vertically adjacent. |
muriform |
= brickwork-like |
arrangement |
cells |
Disposed like bricks in a wall; in parallel rows, the members in each row overlapping the boundaries between members of the adjacent rows. |
conduplicate 1 |
= duplicate |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Adaxially contiguous, folded sharply together longitudinally (one adaxially, one abaxially), and reflexed together, one enveloping the hypocotyl and radicle, the other enveloping the first. |
monadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Shed singly, or essentially so, only loosely and irregularly, if at all, coherent, each original tetrad having separated fully. |
diplecolobal |
|
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Incumbent but with the cotyledons folded together twice or more, the folds transverse. |
geminate |
= conjugate, paired |
arrangement |
|
Inserted by pairs, the members of each fused or not. |
radial |
= radiant, radiate, stellate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |
verticillate |
= cyclic, seriate, whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in groups of three or more, the members of each group (cycle, series, verticil, whorl) inserted regularly around the axis at the same level. |
incumbent 1 |
= notorhizal |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Adaxially contiguous and together oppositely parallel to the hypocotyl and radicle, the abaxial surface of one lying against them. |
…verticillate |
= …cyclic, …seriate, …whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in the number of verticils (cycles, series, whorls) indicated by the prefix; as in five-whorled, 3-whorled. |
paired |
= conjugate, geminate |
arrangement |
|
Inserted by pairs, the members of each fused or not. |
…angular 1 |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Forming a figure with the number of sides indicated by the prefix. |
radiant 2 |
= radial, radiate, stellate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |
rosetted |
= rosulate |
arrangement |
leaves |
Forming a rosette; strongly congested and disposed in radial symmetry about the main stem at or very near its base, seeming to arise at the same level and often overlapping laterally; esp. in perennial herbs. |
