scallop |
= crena |
FEATURE |
|
A rounded, marginal convexity or concavity in a series of such that alternate regularly and are oriented more or less perpendicular to the generalized perimeter of a laminar structure. See also sawtooth, sawtoothlet, scalloplet (crenule), tooth (dens), toothlet. |
|
scale-like |
= squamiform |
solid shape |
|
Isodiametric to elongate in broad outline, relatively very thin, and planate to moderately concave-convex. |
|
scale 2 |

STRUCTURE |
|
A planate trichome. |
|
scale 1 |
< bract |
STRUCTURE |
|
A basically dry, more or less appressed, diminutive bract. The choice of term as between the more general bract and the more restricted scale is sometimes problematic and, when so, often is dictated by custom according to the structure and taxon involved. |

arrangement |
|
Disposed in vertical sequence with long axes horizontal and parallel. |

Of or bearing coarse, stiff, ascending trichomes and markedly rough to the touch. |
|
scabridulous |
= scabrellate, scabrellous |
relief |
|
Minutely scabrous (rough, scabrate, scabrid, scabridous). See also spiculate, which is not clearly distinct in its application. |
|
scabridous |
= rough, scabrate, scabrid, scabrous |
relief |
|
Having small, stout, stiff, more or less acute protrusions. |
|
scabrid |
= rough, scabrate, scabridous, scabrous |
relief |
|
Having small, stout, stiff, more or less acute protrusions. |
|
scabrellous |
= scabrellate, scabridulous |
relief |
|
Minutely scabrous (rough, scabrate, scabrid, scabridous). See also spiculate, which is not clearly distinct in its application. |
|
scabrellate |
= scabrellous, scabridulous |
relief |
|
Minutely scabrous (rough, scabrate, scabrid, scabridous). See also spiculate, which is not clearly distinct in its application. |
|
scabrate |
= rough, scabrid, scabridous, scabrous |
relief |
|
Having small, stout, stiff, more or less acute protrusions. |
|
sawtoothlet |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A diminutive sawtooth. See also scallop (crena), scalloplet (crenule), tooth (dens), toothlet. |
|
sawtoothed |
= serrate |
margin |
|
Having regularly spaced, angular convexities oriented at an acute angle to the generalized perimeter. See also scalloped (crenate), small-scalloped (crenulate), small-sawtoothed (serrulate), small-toothed (denticulate), toothed (dentate). |
|
sawtooth |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
One of a series of regularly spaced, angular, marginal convexities oriented at an acute angle to the generalized perimeter of a laminar structure. See also sawtoothlet, scallop (crena), scalloplet (crenule), tooth, toothlet. |
|
sausage-shaped |
= botuliform |
solid shape |
|
Arcuately cylindric with rounded ends. |
|
sarmentose |
= runnering, stoloniferous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing stolons (runners), by means of which it propagates vegetatively. |
|
sarcous |
= carnose, fleshy |
texture |
|
Fairly firm and dense, juicy or at least moist, and easily cut. |
|
sarcocaulous |
= fleshy-stemmed |
texture |
plant |
Having main stems that are sarcous (carnose, fleshy). |
|
sapwood |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
That portion of the wood (xylem) of a stem or root whose cells are still living and functional; concentric about the heartwood once the latter has begun to form. |
|
saprophytic |
|
nutrition |
plant |
Heterotrophic and obtaining essential nourishment directly from the decomposing remains of other organisms. |
|
sap |
|
SUBSTANCE |
|
Generally, the fluid content of a plant body; more precisely, the sugary fluid transported by the phloem. |
|
samara |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Dry, indehiscent and having one or more integral alate portions that aid in aerial dispersal. |
|
salverform |
= hypocrateriform |
solid shape |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Having a relatively long, slender tube and a divaricate, planate limb resembling a round platter. |
