synoecious (plant condition)
All flowers on a plant are perfect
monoecious (plant condition)
Both staminate and carpellate flowers occur on the same plant.
diocedious (plant condition)
male and female reproductive organs are found in separate individuals. For instance, male holly trees produce pollen while female holly trees bear fruit.
Apetalous (corolla terms)
lacking petals
Sympetalous (corolla terms)
petals that are connate at least at the base
Bilabiate Corolla (corolla terms)
a zygomorphic, sympetalous corolla with the limb divided into two lips.
Plicate Corolla (corolla terms)
it is folded into pleats, as in a fan.
campanulate (corolla shape)

Urceolate (corolla shape)
shaped like a pitcher; swelling out like the body of a pitcher and contracted at the orifice, as a corolla.
Laminar Stamens
Ancestral stamens that possess wide and flattened Anthers and very tiny filaments (magnoliaceae)
Epipetalous stamens
stamens that are fused (adnate) to corolla. Key feature of the families is the Asterid clade.
Didynamous stamens
Having two short and two long stamens (e.g. Lamiaceae and Scrophulariaceae)
Tetradynamous stamens
Having two short and four long stamens (e.g. Brassicaceae)
Monoadelphous
Stamen filaments connate to form one staminal tube (e.g. Malvaceae)
Diadelphous stamens
Stamens united into two, often unequal, sets by selective connation among their filaments (e.g. Fabaceae subfamily Faboideae (9 + 1))
Staminodes
Sterile stamens (they do not produce pollen): variable in form and size
Carpels (gynoecium parts)
the female reproductive unit (the site of ovule production, pollination, and fertilization). One to many seperate or fused carpels comprise a gynoecium.
Stigma (gynoecium parts)
the pollen receptive portion of the gynoecium
Style (gynoecium parts)
The enlonged portion between the stigma and ovary specialized for pollen tube growth
Ovary
Basal portion that surrounds and protects the ovules
