Term	Definition
Anisophylly (anisophyllous)	With two leaves of a pair differing in shape and/ or size; this is relatively common in species of Melastomataceae..
Annotinous	Referring to structures (e.g., inflorescences) arising from branches of the previous year’s growth.
Annual	Plant with a life cycle of one year or less from seed to maturity and death. Compare with biennial and perennial.
Annular	In the form of a ring.
Anomalous secondary growth	A general term referring to types of secondary growth that differ from the more familiar or standard kinds; e.g., that of many lianas.
Anomocytic stomata	Referring to a stomatal type in which the subsidiary cells surrounding a stomate are not differentiated from the other epidermal cells.
Anomocytic stomata	Referring to a stomatal type in which the subsidiary cells surrounding a stomate are not differentiated from the other epidermal cells.
Ant dispersal	Referring to the process in which ants carry away diaspores from parent plants thereby effecting dispersal of those plants. The ants are usually attracted to fleshy structures associated with seeds such as elaiosomes.
Ant garden	A ball of roots that forms in certain species of epiphytic plants and is inhabited by ants.
Antela	Tipo de panícula de algunas Cyperaceae y Juncaceae en la que las ramas superiores están sobrepasadas en longitud por las ramas inferiores
Antepetalous	Referring to structures, usually stamens, inserted opposite or facing the petals.
Antera	Parte del estambre que porta el polen
Antera basifija	Se refiere a las antera que está unida al filamento por su base.
Anterífera, anterífero	Que porta anteras
Anterior	See abaxial.
Anterior	—
Anterior end of flower	The most distal end of the flower but not including inner coils, i.e., the end of a zygomorphic-flowered Lecythidaceae into which a pollinator enters to reap a pollinator reward.
Anterior hood extension	An extension of the ligule beyond the point where the androecial hood splits into two extensions, this extension is the uppermost division of the androecial hood split and extends forward from the split.
Anteroda, anterodas	Es la antera de un estaminodio; una antera que porta polen que no germina. En algunas especies de Lecythidaceae, las anterodas se encuentran en la capucha del androceo y en la hilera más interna de anteras en el lado ligular del anillo estaminal. En las Lecythidaceae, las anterodas frecuentemente son de un color distinto, usualmente amarillo, mientras que las anteras de los estambres usualmente son de color blanco
Antesepalous	Referring to structures, usually stamens, inserted opposite or facing the sepals.
Antesis	Cuando la flor se expande y abre.
Anthelae	The panicle of some Cyperaceae and Juncaceae in which the upper branches are overtopped by the lower ones.
Anther	The pollen-bearing part of the stamen.
Anther	The pollen-bearing part of the stamen.
Anther connective	The tissue that connects the thecae on one side of an anther to the thecae on the other side.
Anther dehiscence lateral	Referring to the anthers of many flowering plants that open along the side.
Anther dehiscence lateral	Anthers that dehisce by lateral slits.
Anther dehiscence poricidal	Anthers that open (dehisce) and release pollen via a terminal pore.
Anther sac	See theca.
Anther theca (pl. = thecae)	The chambers of an anther in which the pollen is produced. Same as pollen sac.
Anther versatile	A stamen in which the filament is attached to the anther above the base of the anther.
Antheridium (plural = antheridia)	Referring to a multicellular haploid structure in which sperm is produced in mosses, hepatics, ferns, and relatively few vascular plants.
Antheriferous	Bearing anthers.
Antherode	The anther of a staminode; an anther that bears pollen that does not germinate.
Antherode	The anther of a staminode; an anther that bears pollen that does not germinate; in the Lecythidaceae, antherodes are found in the androecial hood and in the innermost row of anthers on the ligular side of the staminal ring of some species, in the Lecythidaceae antherodes are often different in color, usually yellow, than the anthers of the stamens which are usually white.
Anthers basifixed	Referring to an anther attached to the filament at its base.
Anthers basifixed	Anthers attached to their filaments at the very base.
Anthers black	Anthers that look black at anthesis either because the anther is black or because the pollen is black.
Anthers orange	Anthers that look orange at anthesis either because the anther is orange or because the pollen is orange.
Anthers versatile	Anthers that are attached above the base and can be moved more freely on the apices of their filaments than can anthers that are attached at their bases (= anthers basifixed).
Anthers white	Anthers that look white at anthesis either because the anther is white or because the pollen is white. White anthers are common in neotropical Lecythidaceae.
Anthers yellow	Anthers that look yellow at anthesis either because the anther is yellow or because the pollen is yellow.
Anthesis	The expanding and opening of a flower.
Anthesis	The expanding and opening of a flower; another way of saying "in flower."
Anthocarp	A type of fruit in which some part of the flower other than the pericarp persists (e.g., the perianth on the fruit of Nyctaginaceae).
Anthocyanic	Containing anthocyanins (water-soluble blue or red pigments).
Antídromo	Se refiere a un órgano alternadamente retorcido hacia un nudo en una dirección y hacia el siguiente nudo en otra dirección. Por ejemplo, las cápsulas de Caiophora (Loasaceae).
Antidromous	Referring to an organ twisted alternately in one direction at one node and in another direction at the next node; e.g., the capsules of Caiophora (Loasaceae).
Antipodals	Three cells located at the end of the matural megagametophyte opposite the micropyle. These cell apparently have no function and desintegrate after fertilization.
Antocarpo	Es un tipo de fruto en el que persiste alguna parte de la flor que no es el pericarpo. Por ejemplo, el perianto en el fruto de las Nyctaginaceae.
