architecture |
leaf |
Having a pitcher-shaped (ascidiform) blade; esp. in Nepenthaceae, Sarraceniaceae. |
|
…leafleted |
= …foliolate |

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. |
