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. |
|
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. |

insertion |
|
Upon or otherwise directly associated with the staminodes. |
|
pseudoaxillary |
