foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an uneven number of members, one of them terminal. |

sheathing 1 |
|

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

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. |
|
…pinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order pinnate; as in bipinnate, tripinnate. |

architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
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. |
|
latticed |
= cancellate, clathrate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having portions of the blade naturally devoid of any but vascular tissue, which forms an open lattice in those areas. |
|
elaminate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Lacking an expanded, more or less planate, distal portion (lamina or blade). |
|
…ternate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order ternate; as in biternate, thrice-ternate. |
|
pedatifid |
= pedate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Palmately divided with the two proximal lateral lobes each 2-parted. |
|
trigeminous |
= tergeminate, trijugate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
pleated 1 |
= plaited, plicate |
solid shape |
foliaceous structure |
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a fan. |
|
trijugate |
= tergeminate, trigeminous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with three orders of leaflets, each order bifoliolate. |
|
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. |
|
…foliolate |
= …leafleted |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of the number of leaflets indicated by the prefix, arranged either pinnately or palmately; as in bifoliolate, pentafoliolate, trifoliolate. See also conjugate, one-leafleted (single-leafleted, unifoliolate), unijugate. |
|
even-pinnate |
= paripinnate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with each order pinnate and comprising an even number of members, none truly terminal. |
|
drupe |
= stone fruit |
nominative |
fruit |
Fleshy, indehiscent and derived from a single, superior, simple or compound ovary; having a soft outer wall (exocarp and mesocarp) and an osseous inner stone (endocarp) containing the seed(s) (usually only one). |
|
citrus fruit |
= hesperidium |
nominative |
fruit |
A berry derived from a compound ovary and having a thin, firm, leathery rind (exocarp), a thicker, white, spongy wall layer (mesocarp) internal to that, and a fleshy interior (endocarp) that constitutes the bulk of the fruit and is separable into a number of radial sections, each triangular in transsection and consisting of a thin outer membrane surrounding a mass of juicy, unicellular vescicles, among which the seeds are embedded on the adaxial side; esp. in Rutaceae. |
|
diclesium pl. diclesia |
< accessory fruit, anthocarp |
nominative |
fruit |
An achene enveloped by a persistent, free perianth base. |
|
drupelet |
|
nominative |
fruit |
Diminutively drupe-like but derived from one of the simple, superior ovaries of an apocarpous flower, having a fleshy fruit wall and a hard seed (pyrene) within, a distinct constituent in an aggregate fruit; esp. in Rosaceae. |
