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. |
|
subequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Nearly uniform in extent. See also equal, unequal. |
|
fasciate(d) |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Abnormally proliferated in size and/or number and more or less connate, the result often monstrous. |
|
discrete |
= distinct |
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Not fused or joined with one another in any degree. |
|
connate |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Intimately fused, with strong histological continuity. |
|
unequal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Distinctly differing in extent. See also equal, subequal. |
|
distinct |
= discrete |
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Not fused or joined with one another in any degree. |
|
equal |
|
size |
equivalent structures |
Essentially uniform in extent. See also subequal, unequal. |
|
coherent |
|
fusion |
equivalent structures |
Joined superficially, with no significant histological continuity. |

architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
|

= anther-bearing |
architecture |
floral structure |
Bearing anthers. |
|
ligulate 2 |
|
architecture |
floret |
Bisexual with a zygomorphic corolla; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
nocturnal |
= night-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the nighttime. |
|
asymmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are irregular and/or unequal in number of members. |
|
gynandrous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the androecium adnate to the gynoecium. |
|
evening-blooming |
= vespertine |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the evening. |
|
vespertine |
= evening-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the evening. |
|
dichlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth differentiated into a distinct calyx (sepals) and corolla (petals). |
|
symmetric(al) 2 |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having the perianth members in whorls that are actinomorphic and equal in number of members. |
|
perfect |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having functional pistil(s) and functional stamen(s) both present, thus bisexual (hermaphroditic). |
|
chasmogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth open at anthesis, allowing deposit of pollen from other flowers (physiological receptivity aside). |
|
naked 3 |
= achlamydeous |
architecture |
flower |
Lacking a perianth. |
|
cleistogamous |
|
reproduction |
flower |
Having the perianth remaining closed through anthesis, preventing deposit of pollen from other flowers, thus only self-pollination possible. |
|
monochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a monocyclic perianth. |
|
diurnal |
= day-blooming |
habit |
flower |
Opening during the daytime. |
