= two-lipped; < labiate, lipped |
architecture |
perianth, calyx, corolla |
Strongly zygomorphic with connate and/or coherent members whose distal portions form two unequal, opposing, lip-like structures, one adaxial, one abaxial. See also gaping (personate, ringent). |
diffuse-rooted |
> fibrous-rooted |

= berry-like |
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a berry. |
runnering |
= sarmentose, stoloniferous |

inflorescence |
Having the pedicels oriented such that the main bodies of all the flowers lie to one side of the bearing axis. |
gaping |
= personate, ringent |
architecture |
corolla |
Bilabiate with the upper lip inwardly arcuate, the lower lip prominent and appressed to the upper at the level of the throat or junction of tube and limb, which is thus normally occluded but which gapes, resembling an open mouth, when the whole is compressed laterally. |
compound-lipped |
= syndetocheilic |
architecture |
stomate |
Having subsidiary cells derived from the primary stoma mother cell and thus immediately related ontogenetically to the guard cells. |
