Enlargement on the stem or stalk; The part of the cone scale that remains exposed when the cone is closed. A growth of bone, not at a joint. A projection, especially from a bone (e.g., a tubercle); an outgrowth without an independent center of ossification. An osseous projection develops at the point where a tendon…

With the petals separate, not fused.  

(Of a character in cladistics) derived.  

The process of asexual reproduction.  

Of a taxon reproducing asexually. Reproducing by seed but without fertilization by the pollen nucleus (though sometimes stimulated by pollination), so that the resulting seedlings are genetically identical to the mother plant. Plant varieties that habitually reproduce thus are called apomicts.  

A taxon reproducing asexually, either by agamospermy (the production of embryos and seeds without fertilisation) or by vegetative reproduction (e.g. by production of bulbils or plantlets from the leaves or inflorescences, or by fragmentation of the plant, or by producing stolons etc.) A taxon reproducing asexually either vegetatively or by producing seeds without fertilisation.  

In pollen grains, without distinct polarity during meiosis. Without poles or processes. Some nerve cells are apolar.  

Species reproducing by asexual means.
