glandular 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Having one or more glands. |
|
monolete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Having a single linear tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from ontogenetic coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |
|
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
|
spinose 2 |
= echinate, spiny |
architecture |
|

Lacking subsidiary cells. |
|
fascicled 1 |
= bundled (not recommended), fasciculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more fascicles. |
|
paleate |
= chaffy |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Bearing paleae (pales, palets, receptacular bracts); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
…fossulate |
= …colpate, …furrowed, …grooved, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of fossulae indicated by the prefix; as in unifossulate, multifossulate, 5-fossulate. |
|
unifacial |
|
architecture |
|
Having two opposite broad surfaces that are essentially similar in appearance. |
|
…petalous |
= …petaled |
architecture |
flower, perianth, corolla |
Having the number of petals indicated by the prefix; as in pentapetalous. |
|
exalate 2 |
= wingless |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
|
asymmetric(al) 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Not divisible into essentially equal halves along any line or plane. |
|
…grooved |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …furrowed, …sulcate, …valleculate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of grooves indicated by the prefix; as in three-grooved, 5-grooved. |
|
…morphic |
|
architecture |
|
Existing within the taxon in the number of distinct structural states indicated by the prefix, the states segregated in different sets of plants or not; as in monomorphic, polymorphic, trimorphic. |
|
pitcher-bladed |
= ascidiate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a pitcher-shaped (ascidiform) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
|
…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. |
|
digitate |
= palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern. Unless qualified to indicate otherwise, this term usually is understood to mean "palmately once-compound." See also …palmate, palmatifid, palmatipinnate, ternate. |
|
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. |
|
simple 1 |
|
architecture |
|
Externally unitary and comprising only one basic morphological unit; not compound in either sense of that term. |
|
excavate(d) |
= hollow |
architecture |
axis |
Having pith tissue absent or disintegrating prior to axial maturity, resulting in an uninterrupted cavity running the length of the axis. Semantically, this term and its synonym refer to the axis, not to the pith itself, although the latter application has been traditional. |
