= butterfly-like |
architecture |
corolla |
Having a relatively large, erect adaxial (upper) petal (the standard, banner or vexillum), two smaller lateral petals (the wings or alae), and two individually smaller but connate or coherent abaxial (lower) petals that together form a carinate structure (the keel or carina), the whole loosely resembling a butterfly with wings spread. |
|
diplostemonous |
|
architecture |
flower, androecium |
Having the stamens dicyclic, the proximal whorl with members directly above the sepals, the distal whorl with members directly above the petals. See also obdiplostemonous. |
|
hypostom(at)ic |
= hypostomatous |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having stomata on only the abaxial surface. |
