V-form |
|
arrangement |

Disposed along the axis in the number of distinct ranks indicated by the prefix; as in two-ranked. |
verticillate |
= cyclic, seriate, whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in groups of three or more, the members of each group (cycle, series, verticil, whorl) inserted regularly around the axis at the same level. |
stellate 1 |
= radiant, radiate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |
ladder-like |
= scalariform |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in vertical sequence with long axes horizontal and parallel. |
…verticillate |
= …cyclic, …seriate, …whorled |
arrangement |
|
Disposed in the number of verticils (cycles, series, whorls) indicated by the prefix; as in five-whorled, 3-whorled. |
elliptic(al) 1 |
|
arrangement |
bundle scars |
Forming an ellipse |
seriate |
= cyclic, 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. |
incumbent 1 |
= notorhizal |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Adaxially contiguous and together oppositely parallel to the hypocotyl and radicle, the abaxial surface of one lying against them. |
muriform |
= brickwork-like |
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. |
dichlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
