|
notorhizal |
= incumbent |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Adaxially contiguous and reflexed parallel to the hypocotyl and radicle, the abaxial surface of one lying against them. |
|
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. |
|
geminate |
= conjugate, paired |
arrangement |
|
Inserted by pairs, the members of each fused or not. |
|
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. |
|
contiguous |
|
arrangement |
|
Touching one another. |
|
radial |
= radiant, radiate, stellate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |
|
…stichous |
= …ranked |
arrangement |
|
Disposed along the axis in the number of distinct ranks indicated by the prefix; as in distichous, polystichous, tristichous. |
|
divaricate |
|
arrangement |
|
Strongly divergent. |
|
spirolobal |
|
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Incumbent and folded together transversely. |
|
close |
= approximate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed relatively near to one another. |
|
divergent |
|
arrangement |
|
Directed at individually different angles from a common point or relatively limited zone of origin, thus farther apart distally than proximally. |
|
intricate |
|
arrangement |
|
Entangled; irregularly intertwined and not readily disentangled. |
|
radiant 2 |
= radial, radiate, stellate |
arrangement |
|
Disposed about and mutually divergent from a common geometric center in two or three dimensions, thus collectively actinomorphic. |
|
dyadal |
|
arrangement |
pollen |
Cohering and shed in pairs, each tetrad having separated into halves. |
|
amplexicaul |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
See amplexicaulous. |
|
veined |
|
architecture |
|
Having one or more orders of evident vasculature. |
|
articulate(d) |
= jointed |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these articulations (joints) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
|
corymbiform |
= corymb-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
|
polytomous |
= flabelliramous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing more than three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
…digitate |
= …palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order digitate; as in tridigitate. |
|
foliaceous |
= leaf-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
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. |
|
continuous 3 |
|
architecture |
rachilla, rachis |
Not disarticulating at maturity. |
|
radiate 1 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing one or more peripheral series of florets that are pistillate (either fertile or sterile) or neuter and that have zygomorphic corollas, and one or more central series of bisexual or functionally staminate florets that have actinomorphic corollas; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
wingless 2 |
= exalate |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
