|
corolla pl. corollae, corollas |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, the petals of a flower, whether distinct or connate; the inner or distal envelope of a differentiated perianth, whether the other envelope (calyx) is actually present or is deemed to be absent due to evolutionary reduction. |
|
calyx pl. calyces |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, the sepals of a flower, whether distinct or connate; the outer or proximal envelope of a differentiated perianth, whether the other envelope (corolla) is also actually present or is deemed to be secondarily absent due to evolutionary reduction. |
|
pollen |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, the spores or grains produced within the thecae of anthers, each containing a very small microgametophyte (or its evolutionary homologue); serving as disseminules from which microgametes are released after transport to a receptive micropylar pollen droplet (in Pinophyta) or stigma (in Magnoliophyta) by a variety of vectors, notably wind, water, insects, bats, and birds. |
|
carina 2 pl. carinae |
= keel |
STRUCTURE |
|
Collectively, the two relatively small, connate or coherent, abaxial (lower) petals that form the keel-like portion of a papilionaceous corolla. |

architecture |
|
CHARACTER |
|
Composite structural configuration as to type, orientation, symmetry, insertion, position, fusion, presence, number, relative size, shape, texture, differentiation, and/or derivation of components and features. Overlaps conceptually with habit. |
|
palinactinodromous |
|
venation |
|
Compound actinodromous, with higher-order branch radiations above the level of and similar to the primary one. |

nominative |
fruit |
Compound and derived from a many-flowered inflorescence borne on the deeply invaginated, thus interior, surface of an enlarged, fleshy, enclosing, wall-like structure of accessory stem tissue that has a distal aperture (ostiole); the individual fruits tiny, dry, and indehiscent, each derived from a simple, superior ovary; in Ficus (Moraceae). |
