early-maturing |
= precocious |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing early in the growing season, or early relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
sheathed |
= vaginate |
architecture |
structure |
Closely enclosed over some or all of its length by a terete or involute structure. |
|
late-maturing |
= serotinous |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing late in the growing season, or late relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
deciduous 1 |
|
duration |
structure |
Separating and falling away from the bearing axis, organ or plant prior to senescence of the latter, usually by developing an anatomically distinct, transverse, basal zone of cells (abcission layer), where separation occurs. See also seasonally deciduous. |
|
sepal-like |
= sepaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
|
vaginate |
= sheathed |
architecture |
structure |
Closely enclosed over some or all of its length by a terete or involute structure. |
|
stalked 6 |
= stipitate |
architecture |
structure |
Having a stipe. |
|
sepaloid |
= sepal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a sepal in shape, texture and color. |
|
rooting |
= radicant |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
|
fugacious |
= fleeting |
duration |
structure |
Wilting or withering very shortly after emergence, soon becoming inconspicuous and falling away or disintegrating. |
|
tuberous 2 |
|
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a tuber in shape and texture, but not ontogenetically such; esp. roots. |
|
foliaceous |
= leaf-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
hygroscopic |
|
architecture |
structure |
Increasing or decreasing in size according to the presence or absence of surrounding moisture, due to differential swelling or shrinking of component anatomical structures. |
|
stipitate |
< stalked |
architecture |
structure |
Having a stipe. |
|
persistent |
|
duration |
structure |
Remaining attached and conspicuous until the bearing structure reaches maturity. |
|
ligulate 1 |
= liguliferous |
architecture |
structure |
Having a ligule. |
|
fleeting |
= fugacious |
duration |
structure |
Wilting or withering very shortly after emergence, soon becoming inconspicuous and falling away or disintegrating. |
|
leaf-like |
= foliaceous |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
tunicate |
|
architecture |
structure |
Having a tunic. |
|
radicant |
= rooting |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
|
petal-like |
= petaloid |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
accrescent |
|
duration |
structure |
Increasing further in size after the bearing structure has become functionally mature; esp. a calyx after anthesis. |
|
serotinous |
= late-maturing |
maturation |
structure |
Maturing late in the growing season, or late relative to the developmental progress of its context. |
|
petaloid |
= petal-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a petal in shape, texture and color. |
|
haplocheilic |
= simple-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells not derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus not immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
