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. |

architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
Having two or more distinct sepals; having the sepals unfused. |
|
palmatipinnate |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with two orders of leaflets, the first order palmate, the second pinnate. |
|
continuous 2 |
= solid |
architecture |
pith |
Uninterrupted by cavities and essentially homogeneous in texture at axis maturity. |
|
wingless 2 |
= exalate |
architecture |
pollen grain |
Lacking lateral lobes or enations that resemble sacs or somewhat inflated wings. |
|
basiramous |
|
architecture |
axis |
Branching at or near the base. See also basicauliramous. |
|
monopodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each order of branches produced by a single, persistently dominant, apical meristem. See also sympodial. |
|
stalked 3 |
= petiolate |
architecture |
leaf |
Having a petiole. |
|
homocladic |
< homomorphic |
architecture |
taxon, plant |
Having stems that do not differ distinctly in size, shape and/or constitution. |
|
knee-rooted |
|
architecture |
plant |
Having knee roots. |
|
amplexicaul |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
See amplexicaulous. |
|

|
architecture |
|
Having one or more orders of evident vasculature. |
|
articulate(d) |
= jointed |
architecture |
|
Elongate with one or more distinct, relatively narrow zones of demarcation between adjacent main portions of the whole, these articulations (joints) often thicker and sometimes sites of eventual abscission. |
|
corymbiform |
= corymb-like |
architecture |
capitulescence, inflorescence |
Resembling a corymb, but not strictly such. |
|
polytomous |
= flabelliramous |
architecture |
axis |
Branching by division of the apical meristem producing more than three coordinate but not necessarily equal derivatives from each division. |
|
…digitate |
= …palmate |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with the number of orders of leaflets indicated by the prefix, each order digitate; as in tridigitate. |
|
foliaceous |
= leaf-like |
architecture |
structure |
Resembling a leaf in shape, texture and color. |
|
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. |
|
continuous 3 |
|
architecture |
rachilla, rachis |
Not disarticulating at maturity. |
|
radiate 1 |
|
architecture |
capitulum (head) |
Bearing one or more peripheral series of florets that are pistillate (either fertile or sterile) or neuter and that have zygomorphic corollas, and one or more central series of bisexual or functionally staminate florets that have actinomorphic corollas; in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
synsepalous |
= gamosepalous |
architecture |
flower, perianth, calyx |
