homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |
|
haplomorphic |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the members of each set of basic floral structures numerous and spirally arranged, the flower hemispheric to conoidal overall. |
|
asymmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are irregular and/or unequal in number of members. |
|
diurnal |
= day-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the daytime. |
|
cotyloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having general adnation among the different sets of floral structures, thus having the ovary inferior and/or having a floral tube. |
|
thermocleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Normally chasmogamous but facultatively cleistogamous during periods of lower-than-normal temperature. |
|
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
|
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
|
symmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are actinomorphic and equal in number of members. |
|
stalked 1 |
= pedicellate |
architecture |
flower |
Having a pedicel. |
|
day-blooming |
= diurnal |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the daytime. |
|
ligulate 2 |
|
architecture |
floret |
Bisexual with a zygomorphic corolla; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
anther-bearing |
= antheriferous |
architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
|
antheriferous |
= anther-bearing |
architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
|
equal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Essentially uniform in extent. See also subequal, unequal. |
|
connate |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Intimately fused, with strong histological continuity. |
|
discrete |
= distinct |
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Not fused or joined with one another in any degree. |
|
unequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Distinctly differing in extent. See also equal, subequal. |
|
subequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Nearly uniform in extent. See also equal, unequal. |
|
coherent |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Joined superficially, with no significant histological continuity. |
|
fasciate(d) |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Abnormally proliferated in size and/or number and more or less connate, the result often monstrous. |
|
distinct |
= discrete |
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Not fused or joined with one another in any degree. |
|
antipetalous |
|
insertion |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a petal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the petals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
|
antipetalous |
|
position |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a petal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the petals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
|
antisepalous |
|
insertion |
equivalent floral structures |
Each inserted directly above or below a sepal. In place of this term, the phrase "opposite the sepals" is often used, but that contradicts the sense of opposite as otherwise employed (arrangement of lateral structures along an axis) and should be avoided. |
