venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, each secondary vein running thence toward and bifurcate near the margin, one branch terminating at the margin, the other upwardly arcuate and merging with the superadjacent secondary vein, thus forming one of a series of marginal loops. |

architecture |
|
Having one or more septa. |
|
septate 2 |
|
architecture |
trichome |
Unicellular to multicellular with transverse partitions (septa) that are common cell walls (intercellular) and/or intrusions from longitudinal cell walls (intracellular). |
|
septicidal |
|
dehiscence |
fruit |
Splitting longitudinally into or through the suture(s) in the outer wall and, if present, through the septum(-a) between locules, the latter thus opened indirectly to the outside. |
|
septifragal |
|
dehiscence |
fruit |
Splitting through the exterior wall suture(s) but not the septum(-a), the valves of the wall then separating from the septum(-a) and the locules thus opened directly to the outside. |
|
septum pl. septa |
> dissepiment, replum, trabecula |
STRUCTURE |
|
A topologically and/or texturally distinct wall or partition that separates chambers or locules within an ovary, fruit or sporangium. |
|
seriate |
= cyclic, verticillate, whorled |
arrangement |

architecture |
trichome |
Multicellular with the number of longitudinal columns of superposed cells indicated by the prefix; as in biseriate, multiseriate, uniseriate. |
|
