|
latticed |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |

foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
|
even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
|
areola 2 pl. areolae |
= areole |
STRUCTURE |
foliaceous structure |
Any distinguishable laminar portion bounded on all sides by anastomosing veins and not traversed or dissected by any vasculature other than veinlets. |
|
clasping |
= amplexicaulous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the supporting axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
|
cancellate |
= clathrate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
clathrate |
= cancellate, latticed |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
areole 2 |
= areola |
STRUCTURE |
foliaceous structure |
Any distinguishable laminar portion bounded on all sides by anastomosing veins and not traversed or dissected by any vasculature other than veinlets. |
|
peltate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Petiolate with the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and otherwise free from the blade. |
|
palaceous |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having the petiole attached to the abaxial face of the blade at some point within the margin and adnate to it from there to the margin, thus peltate but with the distal portion of the petiole adnate to the blade, the whole shovel- or spade-like. |
|
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. |
|
…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. |
|
bigeminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
interrupted 1 |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the leaflets alternately large and small. |
|
tergeminate |
= trigeminous, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
amphistom(at)ic |
= amphistomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces. |
|
laminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
valvate 4 |
|
dehiscence |
fruit |
With longitudinal segments of the wall (valves) separating partly or wholly from one another, spreading outward from the base or apex, and sometimes falling away. |
|
capsular |
|
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a capsule. |
|
syncarp |
= coenocarp, infructescence (not recommended), multiple fruit; > fig, syconium |
nominative |
fruit |
Compound and derived from the connate or coherent ovaries and accessory tissue(s), if any, of two or more adjacent flowers. |
|
grain (not recommended) |
= caryopsis; < achene |
nominative |
fruit |
The achene of a grass [Poaceae (Gramineae)] Although in traditional use grain (or caryopsis) has been treated as a type separate from achene, they do not differ in basic morphology. |
