foliaceous

It is a foliaceous lichen, resembling a leaf in shape.

These orchids have two leaves, arising from a pseudobulbs, covered with a foliaceous sheath.

There are two distichous, foliaceous sheaths around the base, from which the inflorescence emerges.

These foliaceous heaps lie along the bank like the slag of a furnace, showing that Nature is "in full blast" within.

The flowering stem has foliaceous sheaths.

The foliaceous leaf sheaths are well-developed.

The weedy stems grow to 10 cm tall and are surrounded by imbricating foliaceous sheathes.

The bases of the phyllaries are indurate, or hardened, and rarely wholly foliaceous, meaning leaf-like in appearance.

Belonging to, or having the texture or nature of, a leaf; having leaves intermixed with flowers; as, a foliaceous spike.

Members of the genus are massive or thickly encrusting colonial corals, either dome-shaped or flat, and a few are foliaceous.

In the Vasco-Cantabrian area instead the Gravettian influences seem persistent and the typical Solutrean foliaceous elements are minority.

Note: The calyx is usually green and foliaceous, but becomes delicate and petaloid in such flowers as the anemone and the four-o'clock.

The inflorescences show leaf-shaped, bright-colored calycophylls, expanded foliaceous structures made from floral petaloids with enlarged showy calyx-lobes.

More than 200 species of foliaceous and coniferous plants were brought from different parts of the world and planted in the dendrologic garden during 1885 - 1902.

Its fruitbodies are gelatinous, but usually foliaceous (with flattish lobes or fronds) and never have warts or pegs on the surface.

Omitted are the foliaceous tips (also called leafed tips), which are characterized by a covering retouch and which constitute a group apart.

Like other members of Epidendrum subgenus Euepidendrum , the stem is covered by foliaceous sheathes of the distichous leaves.

Like other members of the genus, females of this species have well-developed hind abdominal foliaceous appendages which can be coated with plant-derived resin.

Inflorescences are densely spicate-racemose or paniculate, and bracts are foliaceous or dry, persistent or deciduous.

The Viola langsdorfii has leaves that are long-petioled, round-cordate, and anywhere from 2.5 to 4 centimeters broad, crenate; stipules foliaceous, lanceolate, the lower usually incised.

Spathium, the inflorescence of E. parviflorum erupts from an enlarged spathe at the apex of an un-swollen stem covered by alternate foliaceous sheaths.

Iceland moss (Cetraria islandica) is a lichen whose erect or ascending foliaceous habit gives it something of the appearance of a moss, whence probably the name.

I feel as if I were nearer to the vitals of the globe, for this sandy overflow is something such a foliaceous mass as the vitals of the animal body.

I am very much obliged to you for telling me the results of your foliaceous tour, and I am glad you are drawing up an account for the Royal Society.

Pseudobulbs appressed, laterrally compressed, narrowly ovate, costate, to 2 cm wide and 8 cm long, 2 to 30folite, with 2 to 3 distichous, foliaceous sheaths surrounding the base.
