salt-excreting |
|
exudation |
|

exudation |
|
Producing and secreting nectar; when glands are nectariferous, they are usually indicated nominatively as nectaries. |
|
enzymatic |
|
exudation |
|
Secreting a digestive exoenzyme; in carnivorous plants. |
|
oil-secreting |
|
exudation |
|
Producing and exuding an oily substance, often aromatic; when oil-secreting glands are indicated in the nominative, often they are called simply oil glands. |
|
glandular 2 |
|
exudation |
|
Anatomically distinct and producing and exuding a particular substance. |
|
laticiferous |
|
exudation |

|
macula pl. maculae |
= blotch, spot |
FEATURE |
|
An area that differs in color from the rest of a structure's surface, usually due to differing coloration. See also eyespot. |
|
notch |
= emargination |
FEATURE |
|
A relatively small, acute sinus at the distal end of a laminar structure. |
|
scar |
|
FEATURE |

A discontinuity in surface color and/or relief due to abscission of a structure formerly borne there. |
|
clinandrium pl. clinandria |
|
FEATURE |
|

|
commissure |
|
FEATURE |
|
Precisely, the joint or common boundary between the facing surfaces of two coherent or mutually appressed structures such as mericarps or stigmas, but traditionally (though imprecisely) applied to such a facing surface itself. |
|

= bulla, pustule |
FEATURE |
|
A relatively coarse, rounded protrusion or convexity. See also papilla. |
|
cell 2 (not recommended) |
= chamber (not recommended), locule |

The space bounded by and near the vertex of the distal angle between a lateral structure, especially a leaf, and the axis that bears it. |
|
blotch |
= macula, spot |
FEATURE |
|

|
callus |
|
FEATURE |
|
A small, relatively hard covering, outgrowth, or swelling of tissue; esp. in axes of grass (Poaceae) inflorescences just distal to points of eventual disarticulation. |
|
locule |
= cell (not recommended), chamber (not recommended) |
FEATURE |
|

|
sinus pl. sinus, sinuses |
|
FEATURE |
|
The space, indentation, or invagination (or, for some descriptive purposes, the outline thereof) between and delimiting any two consecutive or adjacent lobes or teeth of a structure. |
