architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Differentiated into distinct proximal and distal portions, the former terete or involute and closely enclosing the bearing axis above the point of insertion. |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |

solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
|
pinnate |
> pinnatifid, pinnatisect |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets inserted at different points along and to either side of the axis, from which those on each side diverge more or less in parallel; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar, feather-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "pinnately once-compound." See also imparipinnate, palmatipinnate, paripinnate, …pinnate, pinnatifid. |
|
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in five-leafleted. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
|
…pinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order pinnate; as in bipinnate, tripinnate. |
|
tergeminate |
= trigeminous, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmate with three leaflets. |
|
one-leafleted |
= single-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. |
|
pedate |
= pedatifid |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
laminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |

= pedate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
