|
accumbent |
= pleurorhizal |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Having the two cotyledons facing and parallel (adaxial surfaces contiguous) and recurved together, one lateral edge of each abutting the hypocotyl and radicle. |
|
semicircular |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Forming an incomplete circle, like the letter C. |
|
solitary 1 |
|
arrangement |
|
Disposed singly, each remote from any others. |
|
intricate |
|
arrangement |
|
Entangled; irregularly intertwined and not readily disentangled. |
|
stellate 1 |
= radiant, radiate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |
|
cyclic |
= seriate, verticillate, whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in groups of three or more, the members of each group (cycle, series, verticil, whorl) inserted around the axis at the same level. |
|
approximate |
= close |
arrangement |
|
Disposed relatively near to one another. |
|
remote |
= distant |
arrangement |
|
Disposed relatively far from one another along the axis. |
|
…cyclic |
= …seriate, …verticillate, …whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in the number of cycles (series, verticils, whorls) indicated by the prefix; as in monocyclic, 3-cyclic. |
|
obvolute 1 |
|
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Having each cotyledon folded inward longitudinally, the two facing one another with their edges overlapping alternately (each enveloping one side or the other). |
|
semielliptic |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Forming an incomplete ellipsis, like the letter U. |
|
opposite 1 |
|
arrangement |
|
Disposed in pairs along the axis, the members of each pair inserted at the same level across from one another. |
|
convolute 2 |
|
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Each rolled or folded inward longitudinally, one enveloping the other. |
|
divaricate |
|
arrangement |
|
Strongly divergent. |
|
opposite 2 |
|
arrangement |
|
Having the members of each whorl inserted directly above and/or below those of the next adjacent whorl(s). See also antipetalous, antisepalous. |
|
dyadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Cohering and shed in pairs, each tetrad having separated into halves. |
|
subopposite |
|
arrangement |
|
Alternate but verging on opposite. |
|
spiral 1 |
= acyclic, helical |
arrangement |
|
Disposed helically about and along the axis, each on a different radius than the one(s) vertically adjacent. |
|
divergent |
|
arrangement |
|
Directed at individually different angles from a common point or relatively limited zone of origin, thus farther apart distally than proximally. |
|
fascicled 2 |
= bundled (not recommended), fasciculate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in one or more fascicles, the members of each inserted close together and only slightly if at all divergent from one another. |
|
brickwork-like |
= muriform |
arrangement |
cells |
Disposed like bricks in a wall; in parallel rows, the members in each row overlapping the boundaries between members of the adjacent rows. |
|
linear 1 |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Disposed in a more or less straight line. |
|
pseudomonadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Apparently monadal but each grain actually comprising an unseparated original tetrad in which the contiguous walls between component grains have dissolved. |
|
U-form |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Disposed in a truncated elliptical pattern, like the letter U. |
|
…ranked |
= …stichous |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in the number of distinct ranks indicated by the prefix; as in two-ranked. |
