heterogamous |
|
reproduction |
plant, inflorescence |
Having flowers that differ distinctly in size, shape and/or constitution. |
eusporangiate |
|
reproduction |
|
Having relatively large sporangia each of which develops from a group of initial cells that, by periclinal divisions, give rise to an outer layer of primary cells and an inner layer of sporogenous cells; in Psilotophyta, Lycopodiophyta, Equisetophyta, and some Polypodiophyta. |
insect-pollinated |
= entomophilous |
reproduction |
plant, strobilus, flower |
Having the pollen normally transported between strobili or flowers by insects. |
allogamous |
= allomictic, cross-fertilizing, exogamous, xenogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different plants. |
gynecandrous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Monoecious, each inflorescence having a distal sector with only pistillate flowers and a proximal sector with only staminate ones. |
heterosporous |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Producing two types of spore, microspore and megaspore, which are sexually distinct and usually different in size, each megaspore giving rise to a megagametophyte, each microspore to a microgametophyte. |
allomictic |
= allogamous, cross-fertilizing, exogamous, xenogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from different plants. |
anemophilous |
= wind-pollinated |
reproduction |
plant, strobilus, flower |
Having the pollen normally transported between strobili or flowers by air currents. |
gynodioecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having some plants with only bisexual flowers and some with only pistillate ones. |
gynomonoecious |
|
reproduction |
taxon |
Having all plants with both bisexual flowers and pistillate ones. |
monocarpic |
= hapaxanthic |
reproduction |
plant |
Normally reproducing sexually only once, then promptly senescent. |
autogamous |
= automictic, idiogamous, self-fertilizing, selfing; > geitonogamous |
reproduction |
taxon |
Having fertilization regularly involving gametes derived from the same plant. |
streaked 2 |
= striate; < lineate |
relief |
|
Covered with very narrow and shallow, relatively long, more or less straight and parallel depressions. |
checkered 2 |
= tessellate |
relief |
|
Having a pattern of regularly disposed squares marked by raised or depressed vasculature. |
chewed |
= ruminate |
relief |
|
Irregularly convoluted, as if chewed. |
corrugate 2 |
= rugose, wrinkled |
relief |
|
Having irregular, narrow ridges or creases, the intervening areas flat or only slightly concave or convex, appearing overall as though crumpled and then spread out. See also rugulose. |
striate 2 |
= streaked; < lineate |
relief |
|
Covered with very narrow and shallow, relatively long, more or less straight and parallel depressions. |
puckered |
= blistered, bullate, pustulate |
relief |
|
Having relatively coarse, irregularly disposed, rounded protrusions or convexities resembling blisters. See also papillate, papillose. |
lineate 2 |
> streaked, striate |
relief |
|
Having very narrow, straight, shallow depressions or low protrusions. See also lineolate. |
mamillate |
|
relief |
|
Bearing mamillae. |
tessellate 2 |
= checkered |
relief |
|
Having a pattern of regularly disposed squares marked by raised or depressed vasculature. |
lineolate 2 |
|
relief |
|
Finely lineate, the depressions or protrusions short and often irregularly oriented. |
blistered |
= bullate, puckered, pustulate |
relief |
|
Having relatively coarse, irregularly disposed, rounded protrusions or convexities resembling blisters. See also papillate (papillose). |
plated |
|
relief |
bark |
Fissured in a more or less regular, anastomosing pattern with distinct, relatively large, undisturbed sectors intervening, the latter ultimately falling away more or less intact after attaining considerable thickness. |
scrobiculate |
= fine-pitted, foveolate |
relief |
|
Finely pitted (foveate). |
