Alternate but verging on opposite. |

Almost sessile; having a very short, somewhat indistinct stalk. |
|
peripterous |

Aggregate and consisting of several to many achenes enveloped by a free, urceolate, more or less fleshy, accessory structure derived from floral tube tissue; esp. in Rosa (Rosaceae). |
|
conduplicate 1 |
= duplicate |
arrangement |
cotyledons |
Adaxially contiguous, folded sharply together longitudinally (one adaxially, one abaxially), and reflexed together, one enveloping the hypocotyl and radicle, the other enveloping the first. |

|
incumbent 1 |
= notorhizal |

|
sharp |
= acute |
apex |
|
Acutely angular; regularly and more or less straightly attenuate to an angular tip, the sides intersecting at an angle of less than 90°. |
|
salt-excreting |
|
exudation |
|
Accumulating salt and discharging it directly to the exterior in a concentrated aqueous solution, the salt then crystallizing on the exterior following evaporation of the fluid medium; when salt-excreting glands are indicated in the nominative, usually they are called simply salt glands. |

capitate 2 |
= headed |
solid shape |
|
Abruptly enlarged distally to a relatively short, terminal portion that is basically round in transverse section. |

orientation |
|
Abruptly bent outward (abaxially), downward, or backward at some point along its length. |

|
fasciate(d) |
