|
plicate 3 |
= plaited, pleated |
vernation |
|
Having alternately adaxial and abaxial lengthwise folds, resembling a closed fan. |
|
reclinate |
|
vernation |
|
Each with its blade oriented downward and parallel to the proximal portion of its distally recurved petiole. |
|
replicate |
|
vernation |
|
Each with the distal portion of its blade recurved, paralleling and contiguous with the proximal portion. |
|
revolute 2 |
|
vernation |
|
Each rolled abaxially inward from the lateral margins. |
|
supervolute |
|
vernation |
|
Each with one side rolled adaxially inward from the margin and enveloped by the abaxially rolled opposite side. |
|
acrodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having two or more primary and/or strongly developed secondary veins that diverge at or above the laminar base and are thence convergently arcuate toward the apex, reaching it or not. |
|
actinodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having three or more primary veins that diverge radially from a point at or above the base of the blade and run toward the margin, reaching it or not. |
|
anadromous |
|
venation |
|
Having the first lateral vein in each pinna or primary segment of the frond arise from its midvein on the side toward the apex of the frond, the pinnule or secondary segment that it leads to often disproportionately larger than the next distal ones. |
|
brochidodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along its length, the secondary veins incurving strongly near but short of the margin, interconnecting serially, and forming a succession of marginal loops. |
|
campylodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having several primary and/or strongly developed secondary veins that diverge from a point or small area near the base of the blade and run thence ultimately toward the apex, recurving proximally, arcuate and converging distally, reaching the apex or not. |
|
catadromous |
|
venation |
|
Having the first lateral vein in each pinna or primary segment of the frond arise from its midvein on the side toward the base of the frond, the pinnule or secondary segment that it leads to often disproportionately larger than the next distal ones. |
|
cladodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along its length, the secondary veins running thence toward the margin, but freely ramifying and becoming indistinct before reaching it. |
|
craspedodromous, mixed- |
|
venation |
|
Having a midvein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins running thence toward the margin, some becoming indistinct before reaching it, others terminating there. |
|
craspedodromous, simple- |
|
venation |
|
Having a midvein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins and their branches all running toward and terminating at the margin. |
|
eucamptodromous |
|
venation |
|
Having a single median primary vein that branches to either side along the length of the lamina, the secondary veins upwardly arcuate, gradually becoming indistinct interior to the margin, and serially interconnected by cross-branches without formation of marginal loops. |
|
hyphodromous |
= one-veined, single-veined |
venation |
|
Having one median, primary vein and no other venation externally evident. |
