| Androecial hood flat | The androecial hood is not curved or coiled inward at all |
|
| Androecial hood flat, thick | The androecial hood, as seen in medial longitudinal section, is thickened dorsiventrally. |
|
| Androecial hood flat, thin | The androecial hood is not curved or coiled inward and it is not thickened as viewed in a medial longitudinal section. |
|
| Androecial hood horizontally oriented (= hood horizontally oriented) | An androecial hood with the first coil oriented at more-or-less 90 degrees to the main axis of the flower. |
|
| Androecial hood obliquely oriented (= hood obliquely orientated) | An androecial hood that is oriented at an angle less than 90 degrees to the main axis of the flower. |
|
| Androecial hood once-coiled | The androecial hood turns inward once |
|
| Androecial hood split | A separation of the androecial hood into a posterior hood extension and an anterior hood extension. |
|
| Androecial hood triple-coiled | The androecial hood makes three turns inward |
|
| Androecial hood: Bertholletia-type | The Bertholletia-type of androecial hood has appendages that are swept back into the interior of the hood which are called vestigial stamens; these appendages do not have anthers. |
|
| Androecial hood: Corythophora alta-type | A thickened hood, bearing staminodes. |
|
| Androecial hood: Couratari-type | The androecial hood has an extra external flap found only in species of Couratari. |
|
| Androecial hood: Couroupita guianensis-type | In this type of hood, there is an appendage-free area between the staminal ring and the androecial hood proper. The appendages bear normal looking anthers but they contain fodder pollen (=staminodes) and the hood is slightly thickened. |
|
| Androecial hood: Couroupita subsessilis-type | This type of androecial hood has three features: 1) an invagination, 2) a notch on the distal end as viewed from above, and 3) staminodes. |
|
| Androecial hood: Eschweilera-type | In this type of hood, the interior of the hood forms an inward coil and the vestigial stamens at the end of the coil are nectar-producing. |
|
| Androecial hood: Lecythis corrugata-type | In this type of androecial hood, the hood is flat and thickened, there are no appendages with anthers on the hood, and the vestigial stamens are poorly developed. |
|
| Androecial hood: Lecythis idatimon-type | The androecial hood is flat and there are only vestigial stamens representing the appendages of the hood. |
|
| Androecial hood: Lecythis ollaria-type | This type of androecial hood turns inward but does not form a complete coil, the vestigial stamens are all the same size, and lack anthers; thus, they are called vestigial stamens. |
|
| Androecial hood: Lecythis persistens subsp. persistens-type | The androecial hood of this type is flat and the appendages of the hood are with anthers that bear fodder pollen and, thus, are called staminodes |
|
| Androecial hood: Lecythis pisonis-type | The androecial hood is separated from the staminal ring, the hood is flat, and there are staminodes proximally and vestigial stamens distally. |
|
| Androecium (pl. = androecia) | The male part of the flower. |
|
| Androecium (plural = androecia) | The collective term for the staminate structures (i.e., the stamens and staminodes) of a flower; the stamens as a unit. |
|
| Androecium actinomorphic | Capable of being divided in more than one plane into two or more equal halves; usually, but not always, used to describe flowers. |
|
| Androecium zygomorphic | The prolongation of one side of the androecium of all species of Cariniana, Couroupita, Corythophora, Bertholletia, Couratari, Eschweilera, and Lecythis. |
|
| Androgynophore | A stalk that is elevated above the point of perianth attachment and supports the androecium and gynoecium; e.g., species of Passifloraceae. |
|
| Andromonoecy (andromonoecious) | Referring to the sexual condition of a species that bears staminate and bisexual flowers on the same plant; in the Mimosaceae, referring to the presence of staminate and pistillate flowers in the same cluster. |
