Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Perpendicular, at right angles to the surface. Inclined in opposite directions, as the facing sides of a valley.  

Opposed to, against.  

The arrangement of flowers along the inflorescence axis.  

Elongation of the receptacle, forming a stalk between the calyx and other flower parts (e.g. corolla, ovary, stamens).  

(In Cyperaceae) inflorescence in which the axes end in spikelets (and not in individual flowers).  

With the inflorescence in the shape of an anthela.  

Inflorescence in some Juncus and Cyperaceae: a panicle in which the lower branches overtop the upper ones, or a cymose corymb with the lateral flowers higher than the central ones.  

In grasses, the part of the spikelet carrying one flower, its lodicules and glumes, and sometimes the segment of the spikelet rachis adjoining them.  

Opposite to a sepal and not alternate with it.
