|
epibracteal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the bracts, or partially adnate thereto and apparently arising therefrom. |
|
staminodial |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the staminodes. |
|
pseudoaxillary |
|
insertion |
|
Only apparently axillary; originally extraaxillary but displaced to the axil by differential growth during development. |
|
septal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the septum or septa. |
|
discal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the floral disc. |
|
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. |
|
medial |
= central, median |
insertion |
|
At, upon, or closely ranged about the structural or symmetrical midpoint or axis. |
|
nodal |
> interpetiolar |
insertion |
|
Upon or associated with the nodes. |
|
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. |
|
canalicular |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the channel of a petiole or petiolule. |
|
collateral |
|
insertion |
buds |
In pairs within or immediately straddling the leaf axils, the members of a pair lateral to one another. |
|
median |
= central, medial |
insertion |
|
At, upon, or closely ranged about the structural or symmetrical midpoint or axis. |
|
vallecular |
|
insertion |
|
In or otherwise directly associated with the valleculae; esp. in fruits of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). |
|
gynobasic |
|
insertion |
style |
Apparently arising from the ovary base. |
|
petiolar |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the petioles. |
|
floral |
|
insertion |
|
Upon, within, or associated with the flowers. |
|
pseudoterminal |
|
insertion |
|
Only apparently terminal; originally subapical but displaced toward the apex by differential growth during development. |
|
superaxillary |
|
insertion |
|
Internodal but close to and directly above the axil(s). |
|
intercostal |
|
insertion |
|
Between the costae. |
|
leaf-opposed |
|
insertion |
|
Nodal and directly opposite the leaf. |
|
one-sided 3 |
= unilateral |
insertion |
|
Upon or arising from one side only of the bearing structure. |
|
epigynous |
|
insertion |
perianth, calyx, corolla, androecium |
Having its proximal portion adnate to the full length of the gynoecium, the free portion thus arising from the apex of the gynoecium. See also hypogynous, perigynous. |
|
abaxial |
= dorsal (not recommended) |
insertion |
|
On or pertaining to the side or portion of a lateral structure that faces (or would face) away from the bearing axis when (or if) the axis of the lateral structure is (or were) oriented in the same general direction as the bearing axis. |
|
apical |
< distal |
insertion |
|
At or very near the developmental end or tip (apex) of a structure. |
|
superficial |
= surficial |
insertion |
|
Directly upon the surface of the structure in point. |
