secund 1 |
|
architecture |
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. |
|
epaleate |
= naked |
architecture |
receptacle (torus) |
Lacking paleae (pales, palets); in Asteraceae (Compositae) |
|
valleculate |
= colpate, fossulate, furrowed, grooved, sulcate |
architecture |
|
Having one or more relatively narrow and shallow longitudinal depressions; esp. fruits of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). |
|
unbranched 1 |
= eramous |
architecture |
axis, laminar vein |
Not branching at any point. |
|
polytomous |
= flabelliramous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing more than three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
anisocytic |
= cruciferous |
architecture |
stomate |
Having three subsidiary cells, one distinctly smaller than the others. |
|
tuberous 1 |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing tubers. |
|
connate-perfoliate |
|
architecture |
opposite laminar structures |
Having the bases in each pair fused and together encircling the bearing axis. See also amplexicaulous, perfoliate. |
|
strobiloid |
|
architecture |
flower |
Characterized by a general lack of adnation among the different sets of basic floral structures, any significant degree of fusion limited to connation within sets, thus with ovary(ies) superior and lacking a floral tube. |
|
spiciform |
= spike-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a spike, but not strictly such. |
|
isopolar |
|
architecture |
pollen grain, spore |
Having evident polarity, the proximal and distal halves similar. |
|
bracteolate |
= bractleted |
architecture |
|
Bearing or subtended by one or more bracteoles (bractlets, prophylls). |
|
syncolporate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Syncolpate, each groove containing a pore. |
|
rooting |
= radicant |
architecture |
structure |
Developing adventitious roots; esp. stems or leaves. |
|
stilt-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Bearing and partly supported by stilt roots. |
|
trichotomocolpate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having a triradiate surficial groove (colpus). |
|
alate 1 |
= winged |
architecture |
|
Having one or more elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
|
secund 2 |
|
architecture |
stem |
Having the petioles oriented such that the main bodies of all the leaves lie to one side of the bearing stem. |
|
…valleculate |
= …colpate, …fossulate, …furrowed, …grooved, …sulcate |
architecture |
|
Having the number of valleculae indicated by the prefix; esp. fruits of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae); as in tetravalleculate, 8-valleculate. |
|
diaphragmed |
|
architecture |
pith |
Uninterrupted by cavities but heterogeneous in texture at axis maturity, with sectors of spongy tissue separated by relatively thin transverse plates of denser tissue that occur at the nodes or are otherwise regularly spaced along the axis. |
|
tillering |
|
architecture |
plant, stem |
Producing tillers; esp. in Poaceae (Gramineae) and other monocotyledons (Liliidae). |
|
…ovuled |
= …ovulate |
architecture |
megasporophyll, ovary |
Having the number of ovules indicated by the previx; as in ten-ovuled. |
|
apocarpous |
|
architecture |
flower, gynoecium |
Having two or more simple pistils (carpels). |
|
unbranched 2 |
|
architecture |
laminar veinlet |
Not branching within the areole. |
