|
subterminal |
= subapical |
insertion |
|
Lateral and just below the apex. |
|
costal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the costa(e) of a laminar structure. |
|
central |
= medial, median |
insertion |
|
At, upon, or closely ranged about the structural or symmetrical midpoint or axis. |
|
suprafoliar |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the stems, each directly above (distal to) and very near a point of leaf insertion. |
|
infrabracteal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the axis directly below a bract insertion. |
|
perigynous |
|
insertion |
perianth, calyx, corolla, androecium |
Having its proximal portion adnate to part of the length of the gynoecium, or fused in a separate floral cup that extends part of the length of the gynoecium, the free distal portion thus arising at a level between the base and apex of the gynoecium. See also epigynous, hypogynous. |
|
rhytidomal |
|
insertion |
|
Within, upon, or otherwise directly associated with the bark. |
|
unilateral 3 |
= one-sided |
insertion |
|
Upon or arising from one side only of the bearing structure. |
|
supramedial |
|
insertion |
|
Just above the middle of the structure in point. |
|
peripheral |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the outer surfaces or regions of a three-dimensional structure. Although use of this term in two-dimensional contexts is technically correct, traditionally the term marginal is preferred in such cases. |
|
infrafoliar |
|
insertion |
|
Upon the stem directly below a leaf insertion. |
|
staminal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stamens. |
|
dorsal (not recommended) |
= abaxial |
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. |
|
ventral (not recommended) |
= adaxial |
insertion |
|
On or pertaining to the side or portion of a lateral structure that faces (or would face) toward 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. |
|
marginal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the margins. |
|
lateral |
|
insertion |
|
To, toward, at, or upon a side, not apical or basal. |
|
proximal |
> basal |
insertion |
|
Upon or associated with the portion of a structure closest to its developmental origin. |
|
circumcaulous |
|
insertion |
|
Upon and surrounding the stem. |
|
inframedial |
|
insertion |
|
Slightly below the middle of the structure in point. |
|
surficial |
= superficial |
insertion |
|
Directly upon the surface of the structure in point. |
|
ramal |
|
insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the stem branches. |
|
floating 2 |
|
location |
|
At or upon the surface of water. |
|
submerged |
= submersed |
location |
plant, structure of aquatic plant |
Beneath the water surface. |
|
epigeal |
= epigeous |
location |
|
Upon or very near the surface of the ground; esp. of cotyledons following seed germination. |
|
submergent |
|
location |
structure of aquatic plant |
Descending from above the water surface to a point beneath it. |
