|
Having one or more glands. |
|
…morphic |
|
architecture |

cell 1 |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
Any of the basic structural/functional units that collectively or individually make up the various tissues of a plant; comprising, at least while physiologically active, a nucleus with included genetic material (chromosomes), a surrounding cytoplasm with included organelles (e.g., ribosomes, mitochondria, plastids), an enclosing membrane, and an exterior cellulosic wall. |
|
plantlet |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A juvenile, complete plant produced asexually by budding, as from the leaf margin in some Kalanchoë (Crassulaceae); this term is usually applied only while such vegetatively produced offspring remain attached to the plant of origin. |
