cuneate 1 |
= obtriangular, wedge-shaped |
base |
laminar structure |
Attenuate with the sides more or less straight and intersecting at an acute angle. |
|
cuneate 2 |
= obtriangular, wedge-shaped |
plane shape |
|
Inversely triangular; like the outline of the broad lateral face of a wedge, broadest at the apex. See also obdeltate. |
|
obtrulliform |
= obtrullate |
plane shape |
|
Inversely trulliform (trowel-shaped, trullate). |
|
obtrullate |
= obtrulliform |
plane shape |
|
Inversely trullate (trowel-shaped, trulliform). |
|
blunt 1 |
= obtuse |
apex |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular tip whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
|
blunt 2 |
= obtuse |
base |
|
Bluntly angular; having an angular proximal portion whose generalized sides intersect at an angle of 90° or more. |
|
eyespotted |
= ocellate |
coloration |
|
Having a more or less circular area that differes in hue and/or intensity from the remainder of the structure; esp. a corolla with such an area at its center. |
|
eight-… |
= octa… |
prefix |
|
Indicating presence of or constitution by eight entities of the type denoted by the term's stem; as in eight-carpelled, eight-flowered, eight-stamened. |
|
imparipinnate |
= odd-pinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |
|
greasy 1 |
= oily, oleaginous, unctuous |
coating |
|
Of a grease- or oil-like film. |
|
greasy 2 |
= oily, oleaginous, unctuous |
texture |
|

|
few-… |
= oligo… |
prefix |
|
Indicating presence of or constitution by a relatively small number of entities of the type denoted by the term's stem; as in few-celled, few-flowered, few-seeded. See also many… (multi-…, pluri…, poly…). |
|
unifoliolate |
= one-leafleted, single-leafleted |
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. |
|
single-leafleted |
= one-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. |

unilabiate |
= one-lipped; < labiate, lipped |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
