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. |
|
|
Andróforo
|
Rabillo elevado sobre el punto de unión del perianto que sostiene a los estambres; por ejemplo, los filamentos unidos de las especies de Menispermaceae y Myristicaceae |
|
|
Andrógina, andrógino
|
Se refiere a las inflorescencias que poseen flores estaminadas y pistiladas a la vez; por ejemplo, las inflorescencias de Mabea (Euphorbiaceae), con una o pocas flores pistiladas hacia la base y numerosas flores estaminadas hacia la porción distal. |
|
|
Androginóforo
|
Estructura linear u oblonga que está sobre el receptáculo y que porta al androceo y gineceo; por ejemplo, Passiflora (Passifloraceae) |
|
|
Androgynophore
|
A stalk that is elevated above the point of perianth attachment and supports the androecium and gynoecium; e.g., species of Passifloraceae. |
|
|
Androgynous
|
Referring to inflorescences with both staminate and pistillate flowers, e.g., the inflorescences of Mabea (Euphorbiaceae) with one or a few pistillate flowers at the base and numerous staminate flowers distally. |
|
|
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. |
