cormose |
|
architecture |
plant |
Growing from corms. |
tuberous 2 |

Resembling a tuber in shape and texture, but not ontogenetically such; esp. roots. |
foliaceous |
= leaf-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
septate 1 |
> trabeculate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more septa. |
one-leafleted |
= single-leafleted, unifoliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Structurally compound but with only one leaflet, whose nature (as a leaflet, not a leaf) is revealed by an evident articulation with the petiole, this condition presumably derived by evolutionary reduction from a multifoliolate precursor. |
pedate |
= pedatifid |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
hygroscopic |
|
architecture |
structure |
Increasing or decreasing in size according to the presence or absence of surrounding moisture, due to differential swelling or shrinking of component anatomical structures. |
cymulose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cymules. |
isosepalous |
|
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having the sepals essentially alike in size and shape. |
syndetocheilic |
= compound-lipped |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
rootless |
= eradicate |
architecture |
plant |
Lacking a root. |
trichotomous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
epistom(at)ic |
= epistomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on only the adaxial surface. |
megaphyllous |
= macrophyllous (not recommended) |
architecture |
plant |
Bearing megaphylls. |
butterfly-like |
= papilionaceous |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
amphicarpic |
= amphicarpous |
architecture |
plant |
Producing two morphologically or phenologically different types of fruit. |
diplostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the sepals, the distal whorl with members directly above the petals. See also obdiplostemonous. |
…colporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having the number of colpi indicated by the prefix, each containing a pore; as in dicolporate, 3-colporate. |
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
fibrous-rooted |
< diffuse-rooted |
architecture |
plant |
Diffuse-rooted with fibrous roots. See also taprooted. |
branched 2 |
|
architecture |
laminar veinlet |
Dividing within the areole, each branch ending blindly. |
…adelphous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having two or more distinct sets of stamens, the sets differing from one another in the arrangements, insertions, positions and/or morphologies of the included stamens, the number of sets indicated by the prefix, at least one set with two or more members; as in diadelphous, monadelphous, triadelphous. |
diacytic |
= caryophyllaceous |
architecture |
stomate |
Having two subsidiary cells that together surround it, their common wall oriented perpendicular to its long axis. |
…ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order ternate; as in biternate, thrice-ternate. |
saccate 1 |
= alate, vesiculate, winged |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having lateral lobes or enations resembling sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
