Term	Definition
Coroniform	Shaped like a crown.
Coroniforme	Con forma de una corona.
Corpus	Body; e.g., the main part of the style head in Apocynaceae.
Corpúsculo	Una estructura que conecta los polinios en la subfamilia Asclepiadoideae de las Apocynaceae, a veces se la refiere como la "glándula".
Corpusculum	A structure connecting the two translators of the pollinia of Apocynaceae subfamily Asclepiadoideae, sometimes referred to as the “gland.”
Corrugate	Having the suface of an organ wrinkled or wavy.
Cortex	The tissue in a stem or root between the epidermis and the vascular tissue.
Cortex	A band of tissue in a stem or root between the bark and the vascular tissue. The cortex is made of of large, thin-walled parenchyma cells.
Corteza	Tejido del tronco o tallo que es externo en relación al cambium vascular. Ver corteza interna, corteza externa y peridermis.
Corteza externa	Tejido muerto que rodea a las ramas, troncos y raíces. Ese comprende todo el tejido desde el peridermo más interno y hacia el exterior.
Corteza externa laminada	Corteza externa que posee distintas líneas que son observables sin lentes de aumento. Esta característica se observa al remover una parte superficial de la corteza.
Corteza fisurada	Corteza con distintivos surcos longitudinales.
Corteza fotosintética	Se dice de la corteza que posee clorofila por lo que esta le confiere un color verde, al menos en parte. Frecuentemente las plantas con corteza fotosintética tienen hojas deciduas durante algún período del año y entonces la fotosíntesis se realiza gracias a la clorofila de la corteza. Usualmente árboles de especies con corteza fotosintética crecen en condiciones de estrés ambiental durante cierto período del año; por ejemplo, durante la estación seca o cuando el nivel de los ríos se eleva y las aguas cubren la parte baja del tronco.
Corteza interna	Floema funcional que ocupa la región entre la peridermis más reciente y el cambium vascular.

Costa	Término usualmente utilizado para describir el nervio medio de una hoja o de una hojuela.
Costa (adj. = costate)	A rib, sometimes to describe the midrib of a leaf or leaflet or to describe a raised line, less conspicuous than a wing, that extends down an organ such as a hypanthium or a fruit. A costa is less obvious than a wing.
Costada, costado	Provista de una costa.
Cotiledón	Son las hojas de los embriones (una en las monocotiledóneas y dos en las dicotiledóneas) que frecuentemente emergen cuando la semilla germina. Algunos cotiledones quedan dentro de la cubierta de la semilla
Cotiledones	Son las hojas que están dentro de las semillas; las hojas del embrión
Cotiledones ausentes	Se refiere a un embrión masivo en el que los cotiledones no son obvios.
Cotiledones carnosos	Se refiere a los cotiledones gruesos y carnosos
Cotiledones foliares	Se refiere a los cotiledones que tienen una apariencia similar a la de las hojas
Cotyledon	The leaves (one in monocots and two in dicots) of an embryo that often emerge when the seed germinates. Some cotyledons, however, remain within the seed coat.
Cotyledons	Seed leaves, i.e., the embryonic leaves.
Cotyledons	Seed leaves, i.e., the embryonic leaves.
Cotyledons absent	A massive embryo that shows no obvious cotyledons
Cotyledons absent (= embryo macropodial)	A massive embryo that shows no obvious cotyledons.
Cotyledons arched	Cotyledons that are bowed in such a way that there is an air space between which is usually an adaptation for water dispersal.
Cotyledons bowed	Referring to cotyledons that are arched in such a way that they form an air chamber thought to aid in dispersal, either by the wind or by water.
Cotyledons carnose	Cotyledons thick and providing nutrition to the developing embryo and seedling. When the cotyledons are carnose in the Sapotaceae endosperm is usually lacking. Same as cotyledons fleshy.
Cotyledons cryptocotylar	A type of seed germination in which the cotyledons remain within the seed coat at germination. Compare with phanerocotylar.
Cotyledons cryptocotylar	Cotyledons that remain within the seed coat at germination. In the Lecythidaceae the seed coat is thin and fragile and breaks apart as the embryo increases in size.
Cotyledons epigeal	At germination the cotyledons emerge from the seed coat above the ground.
Cotyledons epigeal	At germination the cotyledons emerge from the seed coat above the ground.
Cotyledons fleshy	Cotyledons very thick, not leaf-like; e.g., the cotyledons of a bean.
Cotyledons fleshy, irregular (= cotyledons plano-convex)	Seed leaves (= cotyledons) that are fleshy and irregular.
Cotyledons foliaceous (= cotyledons leaf-like)	Cotyledons that look like leaves but differ in their opposite instead of alternate attachment. Same as cotyledons leaf-like which is the preferred term.
Cotyledons foliaceous (=cotyledons leaf-like)	Referring to cotyledons that are not carnose but instead are thin and leaf-like. In the Sapotaceae, species with foliaceous cotyledons generall have endosperm.
Cotyledons hypogeal	A type of seed germination in which the cotyledons are retained below the ground.
Cotyledons leaf-like	Cotyledons that look like leaves.
Cotyledons leaf-like (= cotyledons foliaceous)	Cotyledons that look like leaves but differ in their opposite instead of alternate attachment.
Cotyledons phanerocotylar	A type of seed germination in which the cotyledons emerge from the seed coat at germination..
Cotyledons plano-convex (= cotyledons fleshy, irregular)	Same as cotyledons fleshy. We no longer use plano-convex because the cotyledons are very irregular and are not plano-convex as in, for example, the embryo of species of Gustavia.
Crasinucelada, crasinucelado	Se refiere a la nucela con un tejido bien desarrollado entre la epidermis y el saco embrionario. Comparar con tenuinucelada.
Craspedio	Fruto de una leguminosa en el que las valvas en la madurez se separan del replum o septo persistente, y como usualmente sucede, simultáneamente se rompen en segmentos de 1 semilla.
Craspedium	A legume pod in which the valves separate at maturity from the persistent septae or replum, and, as a rule, simultaneously break into one-seeded segments.
Craspedódromo	Se refiere a un tipo de venación de la hoja, en el que los nervios secundarios terminan en el margen.
Crassinucellate ovules	The presence of two or more cell layers between the megasporophyte and the epidermal cells in the early development of the megasporophyte which will develop into the ovule.
Crassinucellate ovules	The presence of two or more cell layers between the megasporophyte and the epidermal cells in the early development of the megasporophyte. The megasporophyte develops into the embryo sac which contains the egg that, if fertilized and the conditions are right, will develop into the embryo.
Crassulacean acid metabolism	A photosynthesis pathway characteristic of plants that grow in water or carbon dioxide limited environments, most prevalent in species of Bromeliaceae, Cactaceae, Crassulaceae, and Orchidaceae.
