|
wingless 1 |
= exalate |
architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
|
monolete |
|
architecture |
spore |
Having a single linear tetrad scar (surficial ridge or angle resulting from ontogenetic coherence with others produced from the same spore mother cell). |
|
capsular |
|
architecture |
fruit |
Having the structure and texture of a capsule. |
|
pulvinate 1 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence axis, petiole |
Having a pulvinus. |
|
fenestrate |
|
architecture |
pollen grain |
Having more or less isodiametric, regularly disposed lacunae. |
|
stalked 2 |
= pedunculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
|
homochlamydeous |
|
architecture |
flower |
Having a perianth undifferentiated into distinct proximal and distal envelopes (calyx and corolla); composed of tepals, all essentially alike. |
|
virgate |
= wand-like |
architecture |
axis |
Long, slender, unbranched, and more or less straight. |
|
amplexicaul |
|
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
See amplexicaulous. |
|
veined |
|
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). |
|
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. |
|
amplexicaulous var. amplexicaul |
= clasping |
architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Having two distinct basal lobes that partially or fully encircle the bearing axis. See also connate-perfoliate, perfoliate. |
