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 |
