The formation of primary plasmodesmata occurs during the part of the cellular division process where the endoplasmic reticulum and the new plate are fused together, this process results in the formation of a cytoplasmic pore (or cytoplasmic sleeve). The desmotubule, also known as the appressed ER, forms alongside the cortical ER. Both the appressed ER and the cortical ER are packed tightly together, thus leaving no room for any luminal space. It is proposed that the appressed ER acts as a membrane transportation route in the plasmodesmata. When filaments of the cortical ER are entangled in the formation of a new cell plate, plasmodesmata formation occurs in land plants.

This allows them to stack tightly, forming grana with many layers of tightly appressed membrane, called granal membrane, increasing stability and surface area for light capture. In contrast, photosystem I and ATP synthase are large protein complexes which jut out into the stroma. They can't fit in the appressed granal membranes, and so are found in the stromal thylakoid membrane—the edges of the granal thylakoid disks and the stromal thylakoids. These large protein complexes may act as spacers between the sheets of stromal thylakoids.

They are marked by slender, well-rounded, low, decidedly retractive axial ribs, of which 24 occur upon the first four turns, 22 upon the fifth and sixth, 26 upon the penultimate, and 30 upon the last turn.
|
|
The bluish white shell is rather large, its length measuring 5.8 mm. It has an elongate conic shape. The whorls of the protoconch are obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which the tilted edge of the last volution only projects. The almost seven whorls of the teleoconch are moderately rounded, and appressed at the summit.
|
|
The bluish-white shell is of medium size and has an elongate- ovate shape. Its length measures 2.8 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are deeply immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, which gives the apex a truncated appearance. The 5.8 whorls of the teleoconch are appressed at the summit, the later ones overhanging.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 52 mm, its diameter 20 mm. (Original description) The white shell has an ashy brown periostracum and six or more whorls, the apex eroded. The suture is slightly appressed, especially on the spire. The anal fasciole is wide and deep, somewhat in front of the suture and extending to a moderate peripheral carina.
|
|
Additional smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, someobscured by pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed, white or tawny pubescence. Prosternal process broad between procoxae, about 3/4 width of procoxa in most specimens. Scutellum moderately to densely tawny or ochraceous pubescent (occasionally with white pubescence at base and pale iridescent green pubescence at apex); broadly rounded posteriorly.
|
|
The cap of the mushroom is 8–20 cm broad, convex, and expands to nearly plane. As it ages, the disc sometimes depresses. The margin, however, is incurved, although it decurves at maturity. The surface of the cap is at first pallid to cream-buff, especially when developing below ground, but soon becomes appressed and fibrillose-squamose.
|
|
It occurs in colonies of thickets containing branches with appearances like bottlebrush. Colonies appear to be bushy due to the irregular division of branches. Its incipient axial and axial corallites taper to a point and are tube-shaped; its appressed radial corallites are short. The species is pale brown in colour and branches can have yellow tips.
|
|
The light yellow shell has an ovate shape. The length measures 4.6 mm.

The six whorls of the teleoconch are evenly well-rounded with appressed summits.
|
|
The eight whorl of the teleoconch are well rounded. They are slightly curved at the appressed summit. They are marked by rather distantly spaced, slender, narrow, well-rounded axial ribs, which become somewhat flattened and enfeebled toward the summit. Of these ribs 18 occur upon the first, 16 upon the second to fourth, and 18 upon the remaining turns.
|
|
The shell grows to a length of 8.5 mm, its diameter 4 mm. (Original description) The small, white shell is solid and nearly smooth. It has a large smooth protoconch of about two whorls and four and a half subsequent whorls. The suture is distinct, not appressed, the fasciole in front of it obscure, not constricted.

Cotoneaster tenuipes goes into bloom from May to June. Its flowers are about 7 mm in diameter, and borne on corymbs of two to four flowers each. The slender pedicels (1–3 mm), rachis and hypanthium are villous and closely appressed, but hypanthium only abaxially. The bracts (2–4 mm long) are puberulous, linear or linear-lanceolate.
|
|
The teeth were closely appressed, forming a "dental battery" curving to the inside. The skull bore a single horn on the snout, above the nostrils. In Triceratops, the nose horn is sometimes recognisable as a separate ossification, the epinasal. The skull also featured a pair of "brow" or supraorbital horns approximately long, with one above each eye.
|
|
They are appressed at the summit and slightly rounded. They are marked by feeble lines of growth, and many sub- equal and subequally spaced, strongly incised, spiral lines. About 25 of these occur between the sutures of the fourth whorl and about 30 between the summit and the periphery on the penultimate turn. The sutures are strongly impressed.
|
|
The ovate shell is white. Its length measures 3 mm.

The base of the shell is prolonged, marked by low spiral cords. The aperture are irregularly oblong, decidedly effuse anteriorly. The columella is provided with a strong fold at its insertion.
|
|
The ovate shell is vitreous, translucent. Its length measures 3.3 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are deeply, very obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. The four whorls of the teleoconch are inflated, slightly contracted at the suture, appressed at the summit,.
|
|
They have narrow, linear spreading juvenile leaves that gradually change into more strongly keeled and appressed scales. Female cones are borne singly and at the ends of branches and each has 3–5 bracts with very elongated bases. Each fertile bracts supports an erect ovule in its axil and this ovule remains erect throughout its development.
|
|
The shell is small, in the adult stage averaging about 62 mm. in length, against 90 to 110 mm. for the fully adult carpenteriana. It is proportionately much heavier, the anal fasciole is more strongly constricted, and the appressed margin of the whorl does not approach as closely to the periphery of the preceding whorl as in that species.
|
|
The teleoconch shows strong, opisthocline, slightly flexuous axial ribs (ca. 14 on the penultimate whorl), equivalent in size to the interspaces; and a complex spiral microsculpture of longitudinal slots which are offset along the growth lines. The outer lip is opisthocline, strongly thickened externally, inside smooth, with a sharp edge. The inner lip is slightly thickened and appressed.

The flowers growing from the leaf axils are round and flat-faced and sometimes over 2 cm wide. They are white to pale yellow with wide, bright yellow centers.
|
|
This also holds good for the continuation of the axial sculpture, which likewise becomes enfeebled and obsolete. The aperture is narrow and long. The outer lip is deeply incised to form the narrow sinus of the second keel and scalloped by the rest of the keels and cords. The inner lip is thin, reflected over and appressed to the columella.
|
|
The specimen is somewhat eroded on the upper whorls, with indications of a shoulder or carina on the three whorls following the protoconch. The suture is slightly irregular, appressed, distinct, not channeled . The spiral sculpture consists of fine threads, alternately larger and smaller, pretty uniform over the whole surface, with narrower interspaces. This sculpture is fainter on the sutural side of the fasciole.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 8.4 mm, its diameter 3.6 mm. The minute shell has a pale buff color with a brown Sinusigera protoconch of three whorls and four subsequent well rounded whorls. The suture is appressed with a fine thread in front of it;.0 The anal sulcus is wide and shallow, leaving a wide fasciole, arcuately striated behind it.

|
|
The suture is very closely appressed and the anal fasciole nearly free from axial and with only very fine spiral threads. The anal sulcus is wide and deep beginning at the suture. The outer lip is thin, much produced, roundly arcuate to the somewhat constricted base of the whorl. The aperture, including the siphonal canal, is as long as the spire.
|
|
The inner lip is very oblique, stout, slightly curved, reflected over and appressed to the base. It is provided with a strong oblique fold at its insertion. The parietal wall is covered with a thick callus.P.

Its peduncle is long while the main branches are appressed and are . It have solitary spikelets which carry one fertile floret and have a pubescent callus. The spikelets themselves are elliptic, are long and carry filiformed pedicels which are long and scabrous as well. The species carry an ovate fertile lemma which is long and is keelless with dentate apex.
|
|
The surface textures ranges from smooth to covered with scattered appressed fibrils and scales. The closely spaced gills are whitish but develop brownish to reddish-brown stains in maturity. They are narrowly attached to the stipe, sometimes by a notch. The often hollow stipe measures long by thick, and is either roughly the same width throughout, or tapers slightly to the base.

It is variable in appearance, but generally bears a very narrow, linear inflorescence of spikelets appressed against the stem.
|
|
The five whorls of the teleoconch are somewhat inflated, well rounded, and almost appressed at the summit. They are marked on each whorl by 18 narrow, well developed, rounded, almost vertical axial ribs. Some of these ribs are developed into varices and these are distributed at irregular intervals. The intercostal spaces are about 2½ times as wide as the ribs.

The stems are scantily branched, square and usually hairless, although new growth sometimes has a few hairs along the angles. The leaves are opposite, about long and wide, ovate or broadly lanceolate, with toothed margins. The lower leaves have short petioles and the upper leaves are appressed against the stem.
|
|
The shrub typically grows to in height and has an erect to spreading habit. It has angled reddish to brown branchlets that are appressed-hairy when young and becoming glabrescent with age. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. It has variable foliage and the phyllodes are generally thin with a narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate or obovate shape.

Tototlmimus is a medium-sized ornithomimid. The descriptors could identify five distinguishing characteristics. The lower ends of the second and fourth metatarsals do not diverge but are appressed to the lower side surfaces of the third metatarsal. This contact is made possible because the inside of the third metatarsal fits perfectly with the sides of the second and fourth metatarsals.
|
|
The petals slightly overlap each other. The plant can produce up to 400 flowers in a warm season, that last only one day. The flower stem is usually covered with coarse hairs that are held at right angles to the surface, helping to distinguish it from Papaver dubium in which the hairs are more usually appressed (i.e. held close to the stem).
|
|
The five whorls of the teleoconch are increasing rapidly in size, early ones well rounded, later ones less so, their summits being closely appressed to the preceding whorl. The simple sutures are well impressed. The periphery and the base of the body whorl are well rounded, the latter somewhat elongated. The aperture islarge, ovate, somewhat effuse anteriorly, milk-white within.
|
|
The five whorls of the teleoconch are inflated, well rounded, their summits appressed. They are marked by fine, retractive lines of growth and numerous fine, wavy, spiral striations between the sutures and on the base. The posterior half of the base has, in addition to the above marking, three broad, low, feeble, raised, spiral threads. The umbilicus is very narrow.
|
|
The plant is sub-acaulescent with a single flowering head, it measures . The briefly petiolated leaves are arranged in a rosette around a thick rhizome; the leaves form a sheath around the base. The leaves are appressed, pinnatifid or lyrate and the contour is ovate to lanceolate; both leave faces are canescent with ciliated and spiny margins. The pant's receptacle has silky trichomes.
|
|
There are small raised ochreous spots representing the stigmata, the plical near and obliquely beyond the first discal, an additional spot near the costa beyond the second blackish spot forming with these an oblique series. There is also some undefined ochreous suffusion towards the margins near the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey. The larvae feed between appressed leaves of Ougeinia dalbergioides.

Leaves are 4 to 20 mm long and 20 to 40 mm wide and have appressed hairs on the upper surface and toothed edges.
|
|
The suture is distinct, not appressed, with a feebly indicated flattish area between it and the posterior edge of the anal fasciole, which between the keel and the flattening is slightly impressed. There is no other spiral sculpture and the axial sculpture consists mostly of moderately prominent incremental lines. The anal sulcus is deep and wide. The outer lip is thin, prominently arcuately produced.
|
|
The suture is appressed, a coronet of short, elevated, backward pointing wrinkles marginating the whorl in front of it. The fasciole is wide, with obsolete sculpture or is smooth, polished, very sloping, subconcave. The shoulder of the whorl is angulated, ornamented (on the whorl before the last) with about four- teen nodular riblets. These riblets on the early whorls are short, stout, and very prominent.
|
|
Otherwise the spiral sculpture, especially on the latter whorls, comprises sharp narrow grooves with wider flattened interspaces which become more cordlike on the earlier whorls and the base. The whorls are moderately rounded with no indication of an anal fasciole. The suture is distinct but not appressed. The aperture in the type specimen is elongate ovate with a simple columella and a thin sharp outer lip.
|
|
The suture is appressed behind a faint anal fasciole. The whorls are moderately rounded. The spiral sculpture is uniform, consisting of fine attenuated close-set spiral threads covering the whole surface and crossed by minutely sharp incremental lines giving a peculiarly rough effect. The other axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 12) rather feeble rounded ribs obsolete anteriorly with about equal interspaces.
|
|
The suture is distinct, appressed, the whorls shouldered immediately in front of it. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl seven or eight) prominent, slightly protractively oblique ribs, with wider interspaces, extending over the whole whorl and prominent at the shoulder, but not continuous over the spire. The aperture is narrow. The outer lip is varicose, thick, striated in front, smooth within.

Its five- to seven-veined lemmas are 1.9-2.8 mm long, with its paleas roughly the same size. The grass flowers from late June to August. Glyceria × gatineauensis is a sterile hybrid between Glyceria striata and G. melicaria which has been found to occur in Quebec and possibly West Virginia. It resembles G. melicaria but has longer and less appressed panicle branches, growing up to long.
|
|
The forelimbs are moderately robust; the P. mephistocephalus holotype has a quite robust humerus and ulna, however. The hand is completely known, which is exceptional for ankylosaurids. It has five digits, and the phalangeal formula is 2-3-3-3-2, meaning that the innermost finger of the forelimb has two bones, the next has three, etc. The metatarsals are closely appressed and held vertical.
|
|
The suture is distinct, preceded by an obscure thickened margin, not appressed. The whorls descend flatly from the suture to the shoulder. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl 10 or 11) short, protractively oblique rounded ribs, extending on the spire from the shoulder to the succeeding suture, but on the body whorl not over the base. Obscure incremental lines arcuate on the anal fasciole.
|
|
The whorls are full and rouuded. The suture is distiuct, not appressed or channeled . The transverse sculpture consists only of fine inconspicuous lines of growth. The spiral sculpture consists of two sorts: first, a fine, sharp, slightly irregular striation, which covers the whole surface; secondly, of revolving elevated cinguli, of which three on the periphery are more widely and deeply separated and more elevated than the others.
|
|
The suture is distinct, somewhat appressed, undulated by passing over the ribs. The surface of the shell is more or less lustrous. Its color is white, spirally banded with rich yellow brown, sometimes on the periphery, sometimes on the base, etc., but the fasciole is usually white and the ribs are apt to show white, wholly or in part on the yellow, when present.
|
|
The size of an adult shell varies between 13.5 mm and 19 mm. (Original description) The small shell is pinkish white and polished. It is acute, with a flat-topped protoconch of two polished, prominently peripherally keeled whorls and about eight subsequent whorls. The suture is appressed, with a retractively nodulous, thickened band in front of it, forming the posterior margin of the anal fasciole.
|
|
These remain throughout the length of the shell. In addition to this the appressed summit of the shell appears as a spiral cord. The posterior sinus is narrow and located immediately below the spiral cord at the summit. In addition to the strong spiral cords finer spiral threads are present both in the sinal sulcus near the summit and on and between the ribs anterior to this.

Carnivorous Plant Newsletter 36(1): 23–27. The fluid also acts as a lubricant, allowing prey items to easily slide down into the bottom of the pitcher cup. The upper pitchers of N. inermis are frequently tipped over during downpours. The rainwater that accumulates in them is lost, but the extremely viscous fluid, together with the laterally appressed walls, ensure that the contents is retained.
|
|
It is found in encrusted colonies arranged in cushion-, plate-shaped, or corymbose structures. Its branches are short and have diameters of seven to nine millimetres and contain very short branchlets growing near their bases.

A similar (but not identical) surface pattern appears in Homalopoma granuliferum'' Nomura & Hatai, 1940 (family Colloniidae). Close to the suture is a row of disconnected beads. Between this and the carina are three rows of appressed beads, of which the highest is the weakest. These four rows are parted from one another by furrows, each of which is a little broader than the thread above it.

It is found in Brazil."Antaeotricha Zeller, 1854" at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish, the dorsal half irregularly suffused light fuscous with an appressed fringe of dense whitish-ochreous expansible hairscales just beneath the costa from the base to near the middle.
|
|
The elongate-conic shell is vitreous and translucent. Its length measures 2.3 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. The six whorls of the teleoconch are flattened, very strongly angulated at the periphery where they are much wider than at the appressed summit.
|
|
The tree or shrub typically grows to a height of in height. The bark is dark brown and smooth or finely fissured. It has terete branchlets with fine white to yellow appressed hairs. The simple axillary inflorescences occur in groups of 7 to 25 with spherical flowerheads that have a diameter of and contain 24 to 43 bright yellow flowers that occur between January and March.
|
|
The shrub or tree typically grows to a height of but can reach over at times. Like many other species of Acacia in the "Mulga group" it has an appearance that resembles a conifer. The branchlets have resinous ribs with white appressed and red-glandular hairs. The flat straight to curved green to grey-green phyllodes have a width of around and a length of up to .
|
|
The inflorescence is a solitary, showy flower with indistinguishable petals and sepals. Sepals range from six to many; stamens are numerous and feature short filaments which are poorly differentiated from the anthers. Carpels are usually numerous, distinct, and on an elongated receptacle or torus. The fruit is an etaerio of follicles which usually become closely appressed as they mature and open along the abaxial surface.

Gomphrena haageana is a perennial herb with a tuberous root, erect, about , simple to much-branched; stem and branches subround, striped, moderately or thinly appressed-hairy. It has red strawberry-like flower heads. Leaves are narrowly inverted-lanceshaped to linear-oblong, 3-8 x 0.3–1 cm ( x ), pointed to rather blunt with a small point at the tip, long-narrowed at the base, rather thinly appressed-hairy on both surfaces, the pair of leaves subtending the at branch-ends inflorescence stalkless, lanceshaped-ovate, long-tapering. Flower-heads are stalkless above the uppermost pair of leaves, spherical, in diameter, sometime finally shortly cylindrical and up to about long; bracts about , narrowly deltoid-ovate, somewhat plicate, mucronate with the shortly excurrent midrib, bracteoles strongly compressed, boat-shaped, about , mucronate, with an almost complete crest like that of Gomphrena globosa but generally even wider and more deeply toothed.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 21.5 mm, its diameter 8 mm. (Original description) The whitish, acute shell has one globular protoconch and 6½ subsequent, well-rounded whorls. The suture is distinct, not appressed. The spiral sculpture consists of faint obscure grooves with wider interspaces over the whole spire but obsolete on the body whorl, and a series of faint irregular peripheral nodulosities on the upper part of the spire.
|
|
The whorls are rounded. The region of the fasciole in front of the closely appressed suture is flattish, constricted, and polished. The transverse sculpture in front of the fasciole (on the penultimate whorl) consists of about fourteen short, stout, obliquely set riblets, which coronate the whorl and do not reach the suture in front. The spiral sculpture consists of rather narrow shallow grooves, separating slightly raised flattish, rather wider, threads.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 13 mm, its diameter 7.7 mm. (Original description) The short, stout, biconic shell is white or subtranslucent with a yellowish periostracum. The apical whorls are much eroded, indicating for the whole shell six or more whorls. The suture is appressed; the whorl in front of it steeply descends to a very strong keel at the shoulder, behind which it is slightly excavated .
|
|
The suture is appressed, distinct, the whorl in front of it is constricted. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the body whorl) a sharp thread or low keel above the periphery, two more at the periphery. On the anterior one the suture is laid and it also forms the anterior boundary of the dark coloration. On the base are about five less conspicuous threads; all these have much wider interspaces.
|
|
Resin canals are found in both leaves and the seed cones. The bark is usually smooth at first, becoming fissured or flaking with age. The leaves are generally flat with a decurrent base and a spreading blade, but leading and cone-bearing shoots may also have small appressed scale-like leaves. The base phyllotaxis or leaf arrangement is spiral though the leaves usually form subopposite and nearly decussate pairs.
|
|
Each leaf has a small ligule, extending to about 1 mm. The blade of the leaf (the part free from the pseudostem) is usually 5–15 cm long (occasionally up to 40 long) by 1.5–3 cm wide. The leaf sheath is smooth (glabrous) or hairy (pubescent), with hairs which are more-or-less bent over (appressed). The lower part of the leaf blade is similar; the upper part is scaly.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 10 mm and 25 mm. (Original description) The color of the shell is pale, with touches of pale brown and a peripheral whitish zone. It contains 8 whorls, with a glossy, rounded protoconch of two whorls. The fasciole is rather wide, excavated, undulating in harmony with the ribs, marked by fine revolving threads and marginated at the appressed suture by a stout elevated line.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its diameter 5 mm. (Original description) The small, snow white shell contains five or more whorls exclusive of the (lost) protoconch. The suture is distinct, appressed, the fasciole in front of it constricted, giving the whorls a conspicuous shoulder. The spiral sculpture consists of a few obsolete threads on the base, not extending to the siphonal canal and with wider interspaces.
|
|
The whorls in this species are only moderately rounded and distinctly angular at the shoulder. The suture is distinct, appressed, coronated by the ends of the ribs in front,. The fasciole is sloping and hardly constricted. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about a dozen) narrow nearly straight ribs, with wider interspaces, strongest at the shoulder, obsolete on the base and toward the end of the body whorl.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 7.7 mm, its diameter 3.5 mm. (Original description) The small, thin, white shell contains six well-rounded whorls exclusive of the (lost) protoconch. The suture is appressed, distinct, undulated by the sculpture. The spiral sculpture is variable sometimes with well marked threads (six on the body whorl) and a finer intercalary thread in the rather wide interspaces, and sometimes with the spirals obsolete or absent.
|
|
The aperture is rather broad, decidedly channeled anteriorly and posteriorly. The posterior channel is at the summit of the whorl and is deeply incised. The outer lip from the channel to the slender notch anteriorly is protracted into a clawlike element. The inner lip is appressed to the columella as a heavy callus that extends over the parietal wall and forms a decided knob over the posterior angle.
|
|
The suture is appressed and obscure. The spiral sculpture is apparently absent. The axial sculpture shows (on the body whorl six) strong, stout, wavelike ribs, continuous up the spire, with wide interspaces, and practically vertical0 The surface appears to be smooth but as the specimen is slightly beach worn some minute sculpture may have disappeared. The suture is undulated by the ribs, there is no anal fasciole perceptible.
|
|
The aperture is bordered externally with a strong varix forming a rim, normally unique - not repeated at the earlier growth stages on the spire. The inner side of the outer lip bears ca. 10 denticles, elongated in the spiral direction. The parietal edge of the aperture forms a very thin, appressed callus, with a distinct adapical denticle, continued into a thicker columellar callus with a slightly raised edge.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 17 mm, its diameter 7.5 mm. (Original description) The biconic, acute shell is dark brown with paler projections and a reddish brown protoconch of two smooth whorls. These are followed by nine subsequent whorls. The suture is closely appressed, obscure, somewhat undulated with two fine threads and a garland of elongated paler nodules between it and the constricted spirally grooved anal fasciole.
|
|
The designation Pleurotoma arcuata Reeve, 1843 was poorly defined. It was accepted by Olsson as Cruziturricula panthea (Original description as Turricula (Surcula) panthea ) The solid shell is acute and has a fusiform shape It is, white or cream, with pale brown blotches between the ribs (the protoconch lost). The high spire contains about 14 whorls. The suture is closely appressed, obscure with a rounded thread in front of it.
|
|
The femur is extended and narrows significantly towards its broken and eroded lower extremity. This contrasts with other lagerpetids, which have a femur that expands towards the knee. Tibia fragments are slightly curved and expanded near the knee, similar to other lagerpetids. A pair of long and closely appressed bones have been identified as metatarsals, though this is uncertain due to the unusually bent appearance of one of the bones.
|
|
The posterior margin of the whorl is closely appressed against the preceding volution but not conspicuously elevated. The suture line is feeble, and undulatory. The aperture is narrow, widening a little behind by reason of the feeble expansion of the outer lip and the slightly less feeble constriction on the inner. The siphonal notch is broad, shallow, and placed perceptibly nearer to the periphery than to the posterior suture.
|
|
The common base of the florets (or receptacle) is pitted, and carries scales near its margin. The ligulate florets are yellow and have five triangular teeth at their tip. The fruits (or cypselas) are five-angled and carry few or many rigid, appressed hairs. The cypselas are topped by the changed calyx called pappus, which consists of rigid hairs and scales in 2-3 rows, or sometimes only of scales.
|
|
The whorls are gently rounded, closely appressed to the almost invisible suture and excavated in front of it. The body whorl is flatter above, more rapidly enlarged at the periphery. The sculpture consists of small regular waves on the carina, about six in a space of 5 mm, giving a minutely scalloped outline. Behind this is a strong nodulous thread, revolving like a string of small uniform beads.
|
|
The suture in the later whorls is closely appressed, the carinal gutter would at first sight be taken for it. The first two and a half whorls are solidly filled with translucent shelly matter.Dall, W. H. 1881. Reports on the results of dredging, under the supervision of Alexander Agassiz, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in the Caribbean Sea, 1877–79, by the United States Coast Survey Steamer 'Blake,'.
|
|
The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse. The outer bracts are often reflexed downward, but remain appressed in plants of the sections Palustria and Spectabilia. Some species drop the "parachute" from the achenes; the hair-like parachutes are called pappus, and they are modified sepals.
|
|
The ovary is densely pubescent; style terete, silvery gray tomentose on lower half. The nut is ovoid or narrowly ovoid, densely appressed tomentose; the calyx tube is up to 2.8 cm in diameter, glabrous and glaucous; the winglike calyx segments are linear-lanceolate, 12-15 × ca. 3 cm, glabrous, minutely papillate near much- ramified solitary midvein. Flowering is from March to April, and fruiting occurs in June and July.

Muhlenbergia appressa, the Devils Canyon muhly, is a species of grass. It is native to the desert region where California and Arizona border Baja California. Muhlenbergia appressa has also been collected on San Clemente Island, one of the Channel Islands of California, in the chaparral and woodlands habitat.. Muhlenbergia appressa is an annual grass growing up to about 40 centimeters tall. The inflorescence is very narrow, with short, appressed branches.
|
|
Most described species possess a single, peripheral, reticulated chloroplast bounded by three membranes. The volume of the cell occupied by the chloroplast varies among species. The lamellae comprise three closely appressed (stacked) thylakoids, and are attached by two stalks to the pyrenoid surrounded by a starch sheath. In three of the described species, the thylakoids are in parallel arrays, but in S. pilosum, there are also peripheral lamellae.
|
|
The milk-white shell is small and has an elongate-conic shape. Its length measures 4.1 mm. The 2½ whorls of the protoconch form a depressed, helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-fifth immersed. The nine whorls of the teleoconch are slightly rounded, appressed at the summit, and moderately contracted at the suture.
|
|
The erect, compact, dense and spreading shrub typically grows to a height and width of . The branchlets have bright greenish yellow hairs with white hairs on the penultimate branchlets. It has oblanceolate shaped silvery blue-grey phyllodes with a length of and a width of . The shrub produces racemose inflorescences that have a axis covered in dense, appressed, greenish golden hairs containing 25 to 45 flowers per head .
|
|
The bracts are like leaves but smaller. The sepals are rim-like and up to 1 mm long. The corolla is 8-15 mm long, and has dense, appressed, golden or yellowish hairs on the outside, and is hairy on the inside on both the lobes and the throat and is white to cream and sometimes (rarely) mauve. The fruit is ovoid, and about 4 mm long and warty.
|
|
The inner scleral ring diameter is 18 millimeters, and the outer diameter is around 35 millimeters. The articular and the prearticular cannot be distinguished, which might indicate they are fused. The splenial is bound by the dentary, which keeps it from being visible on the ventral edge of the mandible. The quadrate and the quadratojugal are appressed on the right side, and there is a quadratojugal foramen present.
|
|
The suture is closely appressed with a cord-like edge behind the strongly constricted, arcuately striated anal fasciole. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl about seven) flattish, close-set cords. In some specimens these alternate in size, in others they are nearly equal. On the body whorl there are about 25, some irregularly larger than the others, and a few smaller threads on the siphonal canal .
|
|
Branches are generally ascending or spreading, but become pendulous on shaded parts of the crown. The bark is initially brown and weathers dark gray, exfoliating in scale-like flakes. The leaves are generally flattened with a decurrent base and a spreading blade, but leading shoots may also have appressed scale-like leaves. The leaves are inserted spirally but are twisted on lateral branchlets to appear pectinate and nearly opposite.
|
|
The resinous multi-stemmed shrub has a spreading habit that typically grows to a height of and has minni ritchi style bark. It has angular, purplish brown or red-brown coloured branchlets that are minutely crenulated with slightly appressed-villous ridges. It flowers between May and August producing golden flower spikes with a length of . After flowering it produces linear, flat seed pods that are constricted between the seeds.
|
|
They inhabit arid and tropical regions of the northern Australian continent, close to grassland or woodland. A wide variety of habitat provide them with feeding opportunities. In comparison to other bats they patrol at a medium height, and are often observed over water bodies such as pools and creeks. While retiring during the day, the bat lays appressed to the surface of a wall or ceiling of its subterranean site.
|
|
The body whorl shows a cord at the suture and on the other side of the anal fasciole about five elevated keels with subequal interspaces, more adjacent on the base with about as many more smaller and closer threads on the anterior region. The suture is appressed and obscure. The anal fasciole is concave, not spirally striated The axial sculpture consists of rather close sharp striae which cut the spirals. The aperture is narrow.
|
|
The suture is distinct and not appressed. The anal fasciole is narrow, constricted and separated from the suture by an obscure ridge. In front of the fasciole is an undulated rounded ridge from which extend obliquely protractive obscure riblets more or less obsolete on the body whorl, probably stronger and more distinct on the spire when not eroded. There is also very obscure spiral grooving with much wider interspaces on the base.
|
|
The size of an adult shell varies between 18 mm and 30 mm (Original description) The slender shell slender contains about eight (slightly decollate) whorls. Its color is livid olivaceous with a pale peripheral band, lighter near the aperture. The suture is appressed, on the upper whorls rudely nodulous. The spiral sculpture in front of the fasciole on the spire consists of five or six strong cords with narrower interspaces, overriding the ribs.
|
|
The suture is distinct, not appressed. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl four) stronger threads the posterior forming the shoulder, and between them in the wider interspaces much finer intercalary threads. On the base of the shell the minor threads become close-set and coarser. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl fourteen or more) low threadlike ribs extending to the siphonal canal and shortly sigmoid behind the shoulder.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 6.2 mm, its diameter 2.5 mm. (Original description) The small, fusiform, short, stout shell is whitish, with three obscure pale brownish spiral bands on the body whorl. The protoconch is minute, translucent, and contains about one whorl with somewhat over four subsequent whorls in the teleoconch The suture is appressed and obscure. The spiral sculpture consists of numerous very fine equal close-set threads over the whole surface.
|
|
The anterior three-fifths are marked by strong, broad, low, rounded, slightly protractive axial ribs, which are strongest at their junction with the sulcus, beyond which they scarcely extend. The type has lost the early whorls; upon the first of those remaining there are 10 and upon the rest, 12 ribs. Intercostal spaces are about one-half as wide as the ribs. On account of the closely appressed summits, the sutures are poorly defined.
|
|
The mature leaves are different from younger leaves, with those on larger branchlets having sharp, erect, free apices. The leaves on flattened lateral branchlets are crowded into appressed groups and scale-like and the lateral pairs are keeled. With the exception of T. plicata, the lateral leaves are shorter than the facial leaves (Li et al. 2005). The solitary flowers are produced terminally. Pollen cones with 2-6 pairs of 2-4 pollen sacked sporophylls.
|
|
The distinctly elongate head, the narrow insertion of the clypeus between the frontal lobes, the absence of lateral lobes from the anterior margin of clypeus, and the absence of appressed hairs on the dorsum of gaster separate S. stali from S. schoerederi. This species can be separated from S. marcoyi by its much larger size and the absence of a median smooth longitudinal stripe on the dorsum of mesosoma. Males are unknown.
|
|
Drosera kenneallyi is a carnivorous plant in the genus Drosera and is endemic to the Kimberley region in northern Western Australia. Its leaves are arranged in a compact basal rosette appressed to the soil. Narrowly oblanceolate petioles emerging from the center of the rosette are typically 1.5–2.2 mm wide at their widest. Red carnivorous leaves at the end of the petioles are small at 2–3 mm in diameter and elliptic to broadly ovate.
|
|
The leaves are alternate, and from 25–85 mm long and 4–17 mm wide. They are smooth with a flat blade, which is widest above the middle, and has smooth edges. The inflorescences are red or pink, with perianths 15–21 mm long, simple-hairy, with the hairs being appressed. The pistil is 15–20 mm long, and the pollen presenter is hairy, not spindle-shaped, and 5–6.2 mm long.
|
|
It is hypothesized that the appressed ER forms due to a combination of pressure from a growing cell wall and interaction from ER and PM proteins. Primary plasmodesmata are often present in areas where the cell walls appear to be thinner. This is due to the fact that as a cell wall expands, the abundance of the primary plasmodesmata decreases. In order to further expand plasmodesmal density during cell wall growth secondary plasmodesmata are produced.
|
|
Most parts of the plant are glabrous. Where present, the indumentum is inconspicuous; hairs are found on the leaf axils, midribs, laminar margins, and parts of the pitchers (especially around the peristome and on the lid, and in developing pitchers). The indumentum is sparse and consists of short, simple or irregularly branching, appressed hairs, which are white to silver in colour and measure up to 0.2 mm and sometimes even 2 mm in length.
|
|
The species of this genus were formerly included in the genus Trochetia, but were separated by Marais in 1981 on the basis of geography and morphological characters.Marais (1981) Unlike in Trochetia, the Trochetiopsis flowers have only five stamens, and the sepals generally have appressed sericeous indumentum on their interior faces (although one species, T. melanoxylon, lacks this last character). The wood of all the species is attractively coloured and is used in island inlay work.
|
|
Developing pitchers have laterally appressed walls and a pronounced bulge at the rear, which holds the spur upright. The spur has a closed bifurcation at this point. Nepenthes eymae has a racemose inflorescence. The male inflorescence measures up to 30 cm in length by 2.5 cm in width (flowers included), of which the peduncle (≤3 mm wide at its base) constitutes up to 11 cm and the rachis up to 20 cm.
|
|
The pilosity appears similar to that of S. richteri. These hairs are erect and vary in length, appearing long on each side of the pronotum and mesonotum; on the head, the long hairs are seen in longitudinal rows. Numerous appressed pubescent hairs are on the petiolar scale; this is the opposite in S. richteri, as these hairs are sparse. Workers appear red and somewhat yellowish with a brown or completely black gaster.
|
|
The shell is very small, measuring 2 mm. It is semitranslucent, bluish-white. The nuclear whorls are quite large, forming a moderately elevated, helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-fourth immersed. The five post-nuclear whorls are decidedly rounded, with the greatest convexity falling on the anterior third of the whorls, between the sutures, appressed at the summit.
|
|
The fruit bodies of Gymnopilus cyanopalmicola have yellow, convex to plane caps in diameter, with fibrillose scales that are erect near the center and appressed near the margin. The gills are crowded, ventricose, with adnate to decurrent gill attachment. The stem is long by thick, cylindrical, fibrillose, tapering at the base in larger fruit bodies. It is colored yellowish white, and turns purple, dark reddish or dark brown when bruised or dried.
|
|
The suture is distinct and hardly appressed. The anal fasciole is nearly smooth and hardly concave. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 16, exclusive of the varix) narrow, small, very flexuous ribs, sometimes a little angular in front of the fasciole, with equal or narrower interspaces obsolete on the base. The spiral sculpture consists of (between the sutures 3) fine conspicuous threads with wider interspaces, overriding the ribs.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its width 4.5 mm. (Original description) The small, white shell has a pale operculum with an apical protoconch. The whorls of the protoconch are translucent white, glassy, inflated, about one and a half in number, then gradually passing into the reticulate sculpture of the five or six subsequent turns. The suture is appressed with one or two close-set prominent spiral threads in front of it.
|
|
The suture is appressed. The axial sculpture consists on the earlier whorls of about 18 protractively oblique rounded ribs, slightly angulate at the shoulder, feeble on the fasciole and crossing the whorls except on the body whorl where they gradually become obsolete. The whole surface is spirally sculptured with fine close-set threads, here and there one a little more prominent than the rest, others near the siphonal canal coarser. The anal sulcus is wide and shallow.
|
|
The color of the shell is white and chalky under a pale greenish yellow periostracum. The suture is distinct, not appressed. The whorls are sloping flatly to the periphery which is marked by a rounded keel with (on the body whorl fifteen) obscure elongated swellings or undulations. The anal fasciole which is close to the suture is marked by lines of growth concavely arcuate, crossed by half a dozen spiral incised lines in the path of the sulcus.
|
|
The suture is less appressed and undulate. While the ribs are almost obsolete in the fasciolar region, the angulation is nearly at the periphery and the slopes either way from it are nearly equal. The shell is whitish toward the vertex, ashy on the intermediate whorls, and with a tendency to orange or flesh-color for the body whorl. It is never striped or spotted, and the columella is always like the rest of the body whorl.
|
|
The length of the shell varies between 4.25 mm and 8.5 mm. (Original description) The minute shell is waxen white. Its protoconch is very small, of 1½ smooth whorls, rapidly enlarging, followed by a minutely reticulated turn, of which the sculpture gradually merges into that of the adult type of four succeeding moderately rounded whorls separated by a distinct, not appressed suture. The spiral sculpture consists of a prominent sharp thread on the periphery slightly angulating it.
|
|
These are followed by eight sculptured whorls. The suture is appressed, obscure, behind a strongly constricted anal fasciole sculptured with almost microscopic spiral striae. The other spiral sculpture consists of small obsolete threads covering the whole surface in front of the fasciole and three or four cords on the base of the body whorl widely separated and conspicuously nodulous where they cross the ribs. There are also 10 or more closer cords on the siphonal canal.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 11 mm, its diameter 5 mm. (Original description) The small shell is solid and grayish (this shell, being somewhat bleached, is probably of a darker color when fresh). It contains six whorls exclusive of the (lost) protoconch. The suture is strongly appressed, obscure with a thread-like edge in front of which is a narrow spirally striated space bordered in front by a larger cord forming the posterior margin of the anal fasciole.
|
|
The grooves are nearer together on the siphonal canal, and the interspaces there become rounded, almost threadlike. The transverse sculpture consists of, on the fasciole, numerous little- elevated arched regularly-spaced ripples, with slightly wider interspaces. These fade away in front of the fasciole, or appear only as irregularities of growth which punctuate the channels but are obsolete on the interspaces. The whorls are rounded, fasciole only slightly excavated, the posterior edge appressed at the suture.
|
|
A. arborescens is a soft-wooded tree growing up to a height of 9 m. Its leaves are on slender stalks which are 5–15 mm long and have hairs lying close to them (appressed hairs). The leaf blades are elliptic to slightly oblanceolate, and from 50–80 mm long (sometimes 30–100 mm long) by 20–35 mm broad (with the juvenile foliage being larger). The base of the blade is acute and attenuates to the stalk.
|
|
The leaf margins have irregular and very shallowly rounded teeth, and are yellow-green or dark green above, and light green below. The margins are very minutely fringed, and there are appressed hairs on the midrib beneath. The inflorescence is a spike and is terminal on the side branches. It has a covering of long soft weak hairs which are clearly separated but not sparse and is 2–4 cm long. The inflorescence stalk is 1–2 cm long.
|
|
Tendrils are usually one to two times as long as the pitchers and up to 9 mm wide near the pitcher. A rare upper pitcher Pitchers arise from the end of the tendril, forming a tightly appressed curve. Lower pitchers are ovate to infundibuliform in shape and may be up to 26 cm high and 15 cm wide. A pair of ribs runs down the front of the pitcher, sometimes bearing fringe elements (≤3 mm wide) near the peristome.
|
|
The first one forms a smooth margin to the narrow, but well-defined notch-band, which is crossed by the lines of growth deeply waved, and extends to the suture, which is not appressed. The outer lip is thin, much produced forward, as in Daphnella, but the notch is distinct and very deep, with its edges simple and not reflected. The columella is lightly twisted, without a callus. The siphonal canal is distinct and slightly recurved.
|
|
These extend from the suture to the base, and are narrowed and curved like the top of an interrogation point when they pass over the fasciole. The fasciole is constricted rather than excavated, the grooving is closer and finer than on the rest of the shell, and if the shell is colored the fasciole is paler. The whorl is strongly appressed at the suture and a little undulated by the ribs. The aperture is rather narrow.
|
|
The suture is distinct, appressed; the edge in front thickened and undulated by the sculpture. The anal sulcus is shallow but the fasciole constricted and nearly smooth. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl 16) narrow, nearly straight rounded ribs with subequal or narrower interspaces, crossing the whorls from a slight shoulder in front of the anal fasciole to the succeeding suture and becoming gradually obsolete on the base. The incremental lines are well marked.
|
|
It contains two whorls, the second sharply keeled and passing gradually into the sculpture of the subsequent 8½ whorls. The suture is strongly appressed behind the concave arcuately striated anal fasciole. The axial sculpture shows (on the body whorl 10) prominent protractive ribs extending from the fasciole to the succeeding suture on the spire and somewhat over the periphery on the body whorl. These ribs are knob-like and prominent on the periphery and rapidly diminish forward.
|
|
The 11 whorls of the teleoconch are almost flattened, and situated rather high between the sutures. They are appressed at the summit. They are marked by quite regular, slightly curved, protractive, axial ribs, of which 14 occur upon the first, 16 upon the second and third, 18 upon the fourth to seventh, 20 upon the eighth, and 22 upon the ninth and the penultimate turn. The intercostal spaces are not quite as wide as the ribs.
|
|
The calyx is covered with spreading, white hairs. The petals are red. The standard slightly exceeds the calyx, and the wings and keel are shorter. The pod is oblong and silky, about 3–7 mm long, pointed at apex, and usually contains two seeds. The branches are covered with appressed white hairs; leaves peltate, 3–5 cm long; leaflets 7-9, obovate-cuneate, 8-13 x 2–5 mm, mucronate, sericeous on both sides; stipules c.

Opuntia diploursina is also related to another diploid species, O. trichophora, but differs from that species, as stated in the original description,in more upright growth habit, more minor spines that are more closely appressed to pad surface, closer spaced areoles, often yellow spine color as opposed to white or gray mature spines;; more and longer spines on fruit. O. diploursina also has curling major spines, and larger fruit. The two species are separated by hundreds of miles.

Poa leptocoma grows in moist habitats, including meadows and land next to lakes, ponds, and streams. It is a perennial grass growing in loose clumps with stems up to 70 to 100 centimeters in maximum height. The inflorescence is a series of branches bearing spikelets, the branches growing appressed to the stem and then spreading out and drooping from the stem as the spikelets mature. The spikelets are green to blue to dark purple in color.

The hybrid has a wider pitcher lid that is never relfexed beyond 90 degrees and the pitcher cup is not appressed in the lower parts as in N. dubia. In addition, the mouth of N. inermis × N. talangensis is raised towards the back as opposed to being horizontal. In 2001, Kurata described this hybrid as a new species, N. pyriformis.

The broadly conic shell is milk- white. Its length measures 4 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are large, obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which the tilted edge of the last volution only projects, which shows five strong spiral threads. The five whorls of the teleoconch are well rounded, strongly contracted at the sutures, appressed at the summits with a sloping shoulder that extends from the summit to the second spiral keel.
|
|
The suture is distinct, appressed, with a smooth, hardly constricted fasciole in front of it. The axial sculpture consists chiefly of rather strong flexuous incremental lines and a few gradually obsolescent riblets on the earlier whorls. The spiral sculpture consists of (on the body whorl 18–20) fine prominent threads rising above the incremental lines, with wider interspaces, covering the whole whorl in front of the fasciole;. The aperture is ovate, measuring about⅓ the whole length.
|
|
The six whorls of the teleoconch are appressed at the summit They are ornamented by two very strong, lamelliform keels, whose edges are decidedly upturned, forming deeply channeled troughs. The posterior of the two lamellae is feebly crenulated. The periphery of the body whorl is marked by a spiral keel which is about half as strong as those between the sutures. A fourth keel, a little weaker than the peripheral one, marks the middle of the base.
|
|
The small, slender shell is elongate-conic. It measures 2.4 mm. The two and one-half whorls of the protoconch form a moderately elevated helicoid spire, whose axis is at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which it is about one-fifth immersed. The six whorls of the teleoconch overhang and are strongly contracted at the sutures, appressed at the summit, angulated at the posterior extremity of the anterior third.
|
|
The very small shell is vitreous, transparent. Its length measures 2.2 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are deeply obliquely immersed in the first of the succeeding turns, above which only the tilted edge of the last volution projects. The five whorls of the teleoconch are inflated, strongly rounded, decidedly contracted at the suture, and appressed at the summit, where the preceding whorl is reflected through it, and gives the summit the false appearance of having a spiral cord.

For many years, this species was known as Lycopodium flabelliforme or Lycopodium digitatum.United States Department of Agriculture Plants ProfileBiota of North America Program 2014 state-level distribution map Its common name is due to its resemblance to cedar boughs lying on the ground. Its leaves are scale-like and appressed, like a mature cedar, and it is glossy and evergreen. It normally grows to a height of about four inches (10 cm), with the spore- bearing strobili held higher.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 10 mm. The small shell is yellowish, with on the body whorl a faint dark band in front of the suture and an obscure dark line at the periphery, with a dark flush on the siphonal canal. The shell containssix whorls, including a minute smooth protoconch followed by a minutely reticulated second whorl, and then by the adult sculpture. The suture is distinct, slightly appressed, the anal fasciole occupying the space between it and an angular shoulder.
|
|
The spire without the nucleus is about equal in length to the aperture. The suture is appressed. A little in front of it is the anal fasciole, which is narrow, slightly constricted, and ill-defined. In front of it and forming the shoulder of the whorl is a series of about twelve round-topped, slightly protractive, wavelike axial ribs, which only reach the suture in front of them in the earlier whorls, falling short of it in the later ones.
|
|
The spire is attenuated. The whorls are very convex, almost angular, concave above and nearly smooth, appressed at the suture. The shell is sculptured with numerous short vertical folds which do not extend on the body whorl below the level of the upper angle of aperture, and become obsolete on its latter half; and numerous subequal, crowded spiral cords throughout. The aperture is nearly half the length of shell, long-elliptical above, passing into a long, open, straight siphonal canal below.
|
|
The first description notes the form of the ears, comparing the specimen to those of Pteropus keraudrenii (Pteropus mariannus) but lacking any hair. The uropatagium is narrow and obscured across the centre by fur. The hair of the pelage is longer at the nape, but mostly short elsewhere, the fur at the upper back is slightly appressed and oppositely directed for an inch either side of the centre. Little fur appears at the arm, the legs are almost completely covered with hair.
|
|
The apex is defective. The subsequent whorls are rather rapidly increasing, with an appressed suture behind a smooth and constricted anal fasciole. In front of which the shell is shouldered by a series of short, slightly protective ribs, of which, on the penultimate whorl there are fifteen, with subequal interspaces and crossed by half a dozen irregularly spaced spiral striations. These striae are ill-defined, and on the body whorl extend over the base of the shell to the siphonal canal.
|
|
The shell is polished, thin. It is resembling Phymorhynchus cingulatus (Dall, 1890), of a chestnut-brown color, fading to a paler pinkish-brown, with seven whorls. The nucleus eroded, the early whorls are with four or five flattened elevated spirals with wider interspaces in front of a somewhat sloping anal fasciole, more or less reticulated by narrow, slender, irregular, elevated riblets in harmony with the lines of growth, and which form on the fasciole delicate arches concave forward. The suture is appressed.
|
|
The lines of growth are distinct and in the later whorls occasionally a little prominent at the suture, against which the shell is appressed. There is no other transverse sculpture. The revolving sculpture is comprised in fifteen or twenty threads on the body whorl, faintly visible at the periphery and gradually becoming stronger toward the end of the siphonal canal An occasional trace of such might be visible on some of the older whorls. The anal sulcus is moderately deep.
|
|
The ten whorls of the teleoconch are well rounded, slightly contracted at the suture, and appressed at the summit. They are marked by acute vertical axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the first to seventh, 20 upon the eighth, and 26 upon the penultimate turn. The intercostal spaces are about two and one-half times as wide as the ribs. They are marked by fine lines of growth and seven strongly incised spiral grooves, and numerous exceedingly fine, spiral striations.
|
|
The suture is distinct, not appressed. The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl thirteen, on the body whorl seventeen) sharp, narrow, nearly vertical ribs, with wider interspaces, arcuate and feeble above the periphery, where they form angular projections, obsolete on the last half of the body whorl. They become obsolete midway between the periphery and the siphonal canal. The upper surface of the whorls are flattish, sloping, with about fifteen fine, close, more or less alternated spiral threads.
|
|
Older specimens generally have dry and velvety cap surfaces. The texture of the cap surface is rough, at first because of flattened-down (appressed) fibrils, and later with bent-back (recurved) scales or sometimes with cracked rough patches that resemble dried cracked mud. Young specimens may have a small flap of thin tissue attached to the margin or edge of the cap, remnants of a reduced partial veil. The surface is covered with tufts of soft woolly hairs, and has persistent papillae.
|
|
The light yellow shell has an elongate-ovate shape and is stout and strong. Its length measures 4.5 mm. (The whorls of the protoconch are decollated.) The whorls of the teleoconch are flattened on their outer three-fourths, rounding suddenly to the closely appressed summit, on the posterior fourth. The entire surface of the shell is marked by lines of growth and numerous equal and equally spaced, well marked spiral striations, of which about 28 occur between the sutures of the penultimate whorl.
|
|
Vigna vexillata is a strong twiner with fusiform, tuberous roots. Its stems are usually clothed with brownish silky hairs, or trichomes.. Its leaflets come in three, which are oval-shaped and pointed at the tip, with the terminal leaflet being long. The leaflets are all a dark green and with appressed trichomes on both surfaces. The flowers are pink or purplish to yellow and long, on two- to four-flowered peduncles long, with the keel prolonged into an uncurved beak.
|
|
Huperzia australiana has decumbent stems with densely tufted, erect branches up to 300 mm long, usually branched 2 or 3 times. The leaves are crowded, appressed to spreading, 5–9 mm long, 0.5–1.5 mm wide in the middle and tapering to a point. It reproduces vegetatively through the often numerous small bulbils which form along the stem. The sporophylls are similar to the foliage leaves; no strobili are formed; the bright yellow, kidney-shaped sporangia are produced in the upper leaf axils.
|
|
The radiating lines, almost microscopic in Gaza daedala, are in this form impressed in the early whorls near the suture, so as to produce a succession of short ripples, following the recurved lines of growth, which give a fringe-like ornamentation to the suture, at the rate of about five ripples to a millimeter. The margin of the suture in this form is distinctly appressed, forming a narrow border. The operculum has about seven whorls. The umbilicus is completely floored over.
|
|
All parts of the mushroom stain dark blue if bruised or injured. The shape of the cap of B. rubroflammeus is convex to broadly convex, and reaches a diameter of . The margin of the cap extends slightly beyond the tubes. The cap surface is dry and initially appears appressed-fibrillose (with fibrils pressed down flat against the surface) or has a matted grayish tomentum, but later the hairs slough off and the matted tomentum is present only along the cap margin.
|
|
Agaricus placomyces has a cap that is 5–12 cm and varies from convex to broadly convex or nearly flat in age. In addition, the surface of the cap is dry and covered with brownish fibers and scales, especially over the center. Underneath, the cap can be whitish under normal environments, or pinkish in wet weather. Covered with fine, appressed greyish-brown scales and concentrated at the disc, the cap is thick, slowly becoming vinaceous when injured; the odor strongly smells phenol.
|
|
Somewhat hispid, biennial herb. Stems to , solid, swollen below nodes, purple-spotted or wholly purple. Leaves bi- to tri-pinnate, dark green, appressed-hairy on both surfaces, longipetiolate: lobes mostly , ovate in outline, deeply toothed, the teeth contracted abruptly at the apex. Umbels compound, bearing usually 6-12 (occasionally as few as 4 or as many as 15) hairy rays usually long; peduncle longer than rays, hairy; terminal umbel with mostly hermaphrodite flowers, overtopped by lateral umbels, which have mostly male flowers.
|
|
Beside this the incremental lines are minutely elevated and rasplike over the whole surface, but most so between the spirals. The suture is distinct, not appressed. The whorl between it and the shoulder is descending and flattened, with five or six revolving fine threads and some secondary, finer intercalary threads. The shoulder shows a prominent small, rounded keel, undulated by the ribs, beyond which similar spiral threads to the number of a dozen or more, with wider interspaces, to the siphonal canal.
|
|
The suture is deep and appressed. The whorls are gently rounded. T he apical whorls show (on the third whorl about fifteen) very narrow, sharp, threadlike, vertical ribs with much wider interspaces, and at the suture numerous, irregular, small, retractive folds extending over the fasciole, with wider interspaces, nearly twice as many as there are ribs. On the succeeding whorls these ribs and folds grow sparser and weaker, so that on the sixth whorl ribs, folds and fasciole are obsolete or absent.
|
|
Young fruit bodies of C. vanduzerensis are covered with a slimy universal veil; the slime layer persists on the cap of young mushrooms, or in moist weather. The shape of the cap is oval to conical with the margin initially appressed, expanding to broadly conic or somewhat flattened in maturity, eventually reaching diameters of . The cap color is initially chestnut-brown to black, but becomes paler brown as it matures. The surface is radially wrinkled or corrugated, especially near the margin.

Conchologia iconica, or, Illustrations of the shells of molluscous animals; Reeve, Lovell, Brooks, Vincent, Reeve, Frederic, Sowerby, G. B.I (George Brettingham), Taylor, John Edward, Reeve Benham & Reeve, Savill, Edwards and Co., Spottiswoode & Co. Vincent Brooks, Day & Son, ; vol.1 (1843) The slender, acute shell is blackish brown with the anterior part of the body whorl pale reddish brown. It has a conspicuous periostracum and a closely appressed suture separated by a single cord from the constricted anal fascicle. It contains nine whorls, without the (lost) protoconch.
|
|
The intercostal spaces are about twice as wide as the ribs. The ribbed portions of the whorls on the spire are covered by five, equal and equally spaced, incised, spiral lines. The summit of the whorls are appressed, rendering the sutures ill-defined. The base of the body whorl is moderately long, marked by the feeble continuations of the axial ribs and on the posterior half by five incised spiral lines equaling those on the spire in strength and spacing and forming a continuous series with them.
|
|
It is followed by a peripherally keeled turn and about eight subsequent whorls. The suture is distinct, appressed, with a nodulose band in front of it where the ends of the ribs are cut off by a very narrow fasciolar constriction. The spiral sculpture consists of a few incised lines cutting only the interspaces between the ribs, on the spire. On the body whorl there are six or seven of these lines, with much wider interspaces, followed by three strong cords close-set on the siphonal canal.
|
|
The size of an adult shell varies between 10 mm and 34 mm. (Original description) The pure white shell has a pointed turreted spire, a brownish glossy rounded protoconch of 2½ whorls, and nine or ten subsequent whorls. The fasciole is wide, sloping, reaching to the somewhat appressed suture, smooth except for the deeply arched incremental lines. The transverse sculpture, aside from lines of growth, consists of thirteen or fourteen peripheral nodules, well elevated, and on the body whorl somewhat elongated and obliquely set.
|
|
Psilocarphus brevissimus is a small, woolly annual herb growing just a few centimeters tall with a branching stem or multiple stems. The small, gray-green leaves are erect, pointing up parallel to the stem and sometimes appressed to it. The inflorescence is a small, spherical flower head which is a cluster of several tiny woolly disc flowers surrounded by leaflike bracts but no phyllaries. Each tiny flower is covered in a scale which is densely woolly with long white fibers, making the developing head appear cottony.
|
|
The spire of the protoconch is so obliquely placed that it gives the apex of the shell a truncated appearance. The 4.8 whorls of the teleoconch are very slightly rounded, and not appressed at the summit. They are marked by rather strong, and deeply incised spiral lines ; one a little heavier than the rest is situated a little below the summit and gives to this the appearance of being slightly keeled. In addition to this sculpture the whorls are marked by rather coarse lines of growth.

|
Head of worker Acropyga epedana is a tiny pale golden-brown ant with a few erect hairs but many dense appressed hairs. The reproductives have normal compound eyes but the workers have tiny eyes and avoid exposure to light. These ants are very similar in appearance to Acropyga goeldii and Acropyga palaga and may be a northern population of A. goeldi. However, there are differences in the extensions to the penis valves that make it likely that the three are in fact separate species.
|
|
The desmotubule is a tube of appressed (flattened) endoplasmic reticulum that runs between two adjacent cells. Some molecules are known to be transported through this channel, but it is not thought to be the main route for plasmodesmatal transport. Around the desmotubule and the plasma membrane areas of an electron dense material have been seen, often joined together by spoke-like structures that seem to split the plasmodesma into smaller channels. These structures may be composed of myosin and actin, which are part of the cell's cytoskeleton.
|
|
The cap, in diameter, is initially almost hemispherical in shape, transforming to broadly convex and finally to flattened or with edges upturned in age. The cap surface is dry, with fibrils when young, but later the fibrils form large, dark brown appressed squamules (2–9 mm long by 2–5 mm broad). The cap color may be various shades of brown depending on the maturity of the specimen. The cap flesh is typically thick, firm, white, and stains deep red 20–30 seconds after injury or bruising.
|
|
The stipe is (3) 5 – 12 cm long, (0.4) 1.0 — 1.5 cm (4) thick, and has a more or less equal structure. It is covered with appressed fibrils, soon disappearing. It is smooth, dry, dusted with rusty orange spores and has a cottony, scanty, yellowish, partially fibrillose veil that leaves an evanescent zone of hairs near the apex of the stipe. It is colored more or less like the cap; it is flesh whitish, tinged greenish or bluish green, becoming yellowish or pinkish brown when dry.
|
|
The pores on the underside of the fruit body are round, approximately 2 per mm. The tubes comprising the pores becomes stratified, layering over each other with each successive year of growth. There is a 2–3 mm-thick layer of sterile tissue between pore layers, and mature tube layers are 2–7 mm long. Microscopically, B. nobilissimus is characterized by hyphae with a septum, pseudocystidia originating from the trama, closely appressed hyphae in bundles (fascicles) on the upper surface of the fruit body.
|
|
I. deltoidea is easily recognized by the prominent bulge in the center of its trunk, and the stilt roots, which form a dense cone up to 1 m in diameter at the base. It can thus be easily be distinguished from Socratea exorrhiza (which also bears stilt roots), as the stilt roots of the former are much less tightly appressed upon one another. The leaves are up to 5 m long, and pinnate. The numerous pinnae are fan-shaped, and held in various planes.
|
|
In philodendrons, cataphylls typically fall into two categories: deciduous and persistent types. A deciduous cataphyll curls away from the leaf once it has formed, eventually turning brown and drying out, and finally falling off the plant, leaving a scar on the stem where it was attached. Deciduous cataphylls are typically found on vining philodendrons, whereas persistent cataphylls are typical of epiphytic philodendrons or appressed climbers. In the latter, the cataphylls are prevented from falling off in a timely manner due to the short internodes of the plant.
|
|
The suture is appressed, obscure, behind a moderately impressed anal fasciole with a fine thread between them. The other spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire) two peripheral close-set threads overriding the ribs. In front of these on the body whorl are two or three obscure broad flattish ridges with rather wide interspaces overridden by the axial sculpture, and on the siphonal canal a few rather sharp threads more closely set. The axial sculpture consists of 10 or more short ribs on the penultimate whorl with narrower interspaces.
|
|
The suture is strongly appressed with a strong cord in front of it. The anal fasciole is excavated, arcuately striated, with a few obscure fine spiral threads running in it. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl fifteen) short prominent nearly vertical subrectangular ribs rounded above and confined to the peripheral region in front of which on the base of the body whorl are about twice as many thread-like ridges mostly continuous over the base to the beginning of the siphonal canal. The incremental lines are rather marked.
|
|
The spiral sculpture consists of numerous fine impressed lines, strongest on the ribs of which they faintly crenulate the crests, and well marked on the siphonal canal where the interspaces are slightly raised and rounded. The transverse sculpture consists of (on the body whorl ten) elevated ribs, not continuous from whorl to whorl, extending from suture to the siphonal canal. These are thin and slightly curved behind the periphery, a little swollen on the periphery and in front of it again diminishing. The suture is somewhat appressed, undulated by the ribs.
|
|
Behind the fasciole a stout ridge revolves a little in advance of the appressed edge of the whorl. The ridge is nodulous where it rides over the ribs of the preceding whorl . In front of the fasciole the ribs are crossed by two adjacent and four rather distant stout revolving threads, beside which there are four or five smaller threads on the siphonal canal, and in the interstices and on the fasciole extremely fine sharp revolving threads. All the large threads form nodules where they cross the ribs and these nodules are yellow.
|
|
They are strongest on the base, but are generally so faint as not to interrupt the apparent smoothness of the surface nor to be perceptible without a lens. The suture is appressed, undulated over the ribs. The fasciole is narrow, excavated, smooth except for lines of growth and the undulations due to the ribbing. The transverse sculpture consists of rather faint growth lines and of (on the body whorl 12) strong, stout rounded ribs, strongest in front of the fasciole where they end bluntly, extending across the whorl and disappearing only on the siphonal canal.
|
|
They extend well over the periphery of the whorl, and are evanescent on the siphonal canal. Other transverse sculpture comprises only fine lines of growth which are not parallel to but more oblique than the aforesaid ribs, and reticulate prettily the spiral threads. The whorls are but little inflated, having a very regular taper, slightly appressed at the distinct but not deep suture. The aperture is more than one third as long as the shell, polished within, with a deep broad notch, slightly in advance of the suture, whose edges are produced and considerably reflected.
|
|
The subsequent whorls are glistening, constricted and appressed at the suture. These whorls contain (on the penultimate whorl eighteen) arcuate and protractive axial ribs which extend from the suture to the siphonal canal except over the last half of the body whorl. The constriction which indicates the anal fasciole gives the posterior edge of the whorl a marginate appearance, but does not interrupt the ribs, which are very prominent in front of the fasciole at the shoulder. The whole surface is evenly sculptured by strongly incised, almost channelled lines, with wider, flat, strap-like interspaces.
|
|
The suture is distinct, appressed, bordered by a small thread behind and a strong white cord in front betAveen it and the fascicle which is constricted narrow and minutely spirally striated. The other spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire two) peripheral whitish cords, the anterior stronger and swollen where it passes over the ribs. On the body whorl in front of the periphery are seven similar but smaller cords with wider, minutely striated interspaces sometimes carrying an intercalary thread. On the siphonal canal are about half a dozen close-set threads.
|
|
Leaf dimensions range from 5–30 mm long and 1.5–2.5 mm wide, and are observed to be simple, alternate and evergreen. Their shape is highly variable, commonly occurring as linear, narrow elliptic or narrow obovate but always exhibiting a spiky aristate apex. Leaf margins are flat to recurved, with the abaxial (lower) surface a darker shade than the adaxial (upper) surface. Leaf blades occur at right angles to the petiole, which is short and appressed to the stem, with pointed, soft, brown stipules occurring at the leaf base.
|
|
The large aperture is oval in shape, with an elaborate peristome. The outer lip is flaring, thickened at a short distance from the edge and with internal denticles. The inner part of the peristome shows an appressed parietal callus continued into a foliated columellar callus, which has a raised edge overhanging the siphonal canal on large specimens, and bears indistinct ridges towards the edge. The colour pattern is very characteristic, with articulated spiral bands of light patches on the knobs and dark brown in the interspaces, alternating with medium brown uniform bands.
|
|
It is covered with a conspicuous olivaceous periostracum. The suture is appressed, with a strong spiral cord between it and the somewhat excavated anal fasciole which is sculptured by several sharp spiral incised lines. From the shoulder extend about eighteen slightly protractive axial rounded riblets, stoutest at the shoulder, diminishing forward, and extending nearly to the siphonal canal, with narrower interspaces. These are crossed by about eighteen larger spiral cords on the body whorl, seven of which are on the body of the whorl and the rest on the beak and the siphonal canal.
|
|
Felicia clavipilosa subsp. clavipilosa is an upright, richly branched shrub of up to high. The stems are woody and pale brown, but in the upper part herbaceous, green, with appressed hairs or very glandular, especially near the tips, and then with perpendicular bristles. The leaves are arranged alternately, lack a leaf stalk, are narrowly lance-shaped to narrowly inverted lance-shaped in outline, long and 1–3 mm (0.04–0.14 in) wide, flat, with a single vein, bristly hairs pressed against the surface, or perpendicular bristly and glandularly hairy.
|
|
The fruit (syconia occur in the leaf axils, are globular, and up to 21 mm long and 21 mm in diameter, and they too are lightly rough to the touch. The ostiole protrudes into a crown with numerous ciliolate bracts (bracts with "eyelashes"), and is green to yellowish green at maturity. The peduncle is 21 mm long, 0.6-1.0 mm in diameter. There are three bracts at the base of up to 4 mm in length, with appressed glassy hairs, and the margins have minute hairs (cilia) which persist.
|
|
The planar S0, is defined by the layering within chemogenic precipitate (BIF). The earliest folds F1, apart from being tight and appressed occur in intrafolial positions and also constitute the rootless folds. This folding has given rise to an axial planar penetrative foliation and is defined mainly by hornblende and to a lesser extend by chlorite and is co-parallel to the lithoboundaries identified as S0. S1 schistosity is defined by hornblende and chlorite, and this mineralogical association suggests that the deformation occurred under upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies conditions.
|
|
Agaricus amicosus is similar to and a close relative of A. brunneofibrillosus. It differs considerably in geography, however, being endemic to spruce and fir forests of the Rocky Mountains, though like A. brunneofibrillosus, it shows a clear preference for growth on deep leaf litter. Agaricus pattersoniae closely resembles A. fuscofibrillosus but is larger and the cap has appressed brown squamules and is not fibrillose. A. brunneofibrillosus is also similar to A. fuscovelatus, but that species has a more conical cap with brownish scales, and a dark brown ring.

Upper eye lobes separated by little more than greatest width of scape. The frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short pubescence extending about halfway to base of labrum; clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum is coated with dense, mostly appressed, white or off -white pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Pronotum with very slightly protuberant, broadly rounded lateral tubercles with greatest projection slightly behind middle; with weakly raised dorsal tubercles with following arrangement: large oval prominence at middle, surrounded by four smaller prominences (two anterolateral, two posterolateral).
|
|
The forewings are white, more or less irregularly suffused with pinkish grey and speckled with grey except towards the costa anteriorly, the costal edge blackish on the basal fourth, and with an appressed fringe of white scales beneath the costa anteriorly. There is a small dark grey spot on the middle of the costa, and a blackish dot in the disc beneath this. A black dot is found in the disc at about three-fourths, and some variable scattered raised black scales are placed posteriorly. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the apex.
|
|
The aperture is slightly oblique, but with a perpendicular columella, round, and nacreous within. The outer lip is thin, transparently porcelaneous on the edge, but thickened by nacre within. The columellar region of the inner lip is perpendicular, rounded within the aperture, advancing to a sharp point in front, slightly reverted but not appressed, having a small open furrow and a minute umbilical chink behind it. This species extremely resembles Calliostoma occidentale (Mighels & C. B. Adams, 1842), but it is smaller and broader in proportion, with a less high spire.

The bemalambdids are, along with Harpyodus and Alcidedorbignya, the most primitive pantodonts. Hypsilolambda is known only from a skull and teeth, but Bemalambda is known from complete cranial and postcranial specimens and the best preserved mammal from Shanghuan. It was dog-sized (a large animal for its era) and omnivorous. Both genera have dilambdodont upper premolars (W-shaped crests on the crowns), one of the characteristics of pantodonts, but their upper molars, unlike in later pantodonts, are almost zalambdodont (V-shaped crests) and transversely elongated with the paracone and metacone (cusp) appressed or connated.
|
|
It is 12-15mm wide in the middle, but 5-6mm wide at the end where it joins the leaf blade. The adaxial side of the petiole, the upper surface, is flat, and it has scattered appressed hyaline (glassy-looking) scales, with ciliate hairs along their margins. Both left and right edges of the petiole have short, flat, brown, blunt, triangular, 5-8mm long spines down their entire length, these spines reduce in size as they march towards the leaf blade. The sheath is coloured dark, chocolate brown.
|
|
Plants have flowers in dense heads that are appressed against the stems, the heads have no stalks and are arranged in a dense spike-like collection. The basal and cauline leaves have one nerve and are spatulate-oblanceolate to narrowly oblanceolate in shape, they are also dotted with glands and hairless or have short stiff hairs. It flowers in August and October. The seed are produced in cypselae (a type of fruit) that are 4 to 6 millimeters long with feathery bristle-like pappi that have minute barbs.
|
|
All these regions have erect hairs. The anterior portions of both the petiole and postpetiole have appressed pubescence that is also seen on the propodeum. The colour of the queen is similar to that of a worker: the gaster is dark brown and the legs, scapes, and thorax are light brown with dark streaks on the mesoscutum. The head is yellowish or yellowish-brown around the central regions, the occiput and mandibles are a similar colour to the thorax, and the wing veins range from colourless to pale brown.

|
A crustose lichen, Caloplaca marina Crustose is a habit of some types of algae and lichens in which the plant grows tightly appressed to a substrate, forming a biological layer of the adhering organism. Crustose adheres very closely to the substrates at all points. Crustose is found on rocks and tree bark. Some species of marine algae of the Rhodophyta, in particular members of the order Corallinales, family Corallinaceae, subfamily Melobesioideae with cell walls containing calcium carbonate grow to great depths in the intertidal zone, forming crusts on various substrates.

The cap surface in young specimens is smooth but soon forms appressed scale-like spots, which may transform into scales in age. Initially, the cap has white margins and a brownish-violet center with scale-like spots; the center later becomes orange-brownish or ochraceous brown. According to Canadian mycologist James Ginns, who described North American Albatrellus species in 1997, some North American specimens may be covered with blackish-gray to purple-gray fibrils, but this characteristic is not seen in European collections. The cap discolors yellowish when bruised.

The suture is distinct and not appressed. The whorl in front of it descends flatly to a nearly peripheral keel, the flattened portion corresponding to the anal fasciole. The fasciole is spirally sculptured by four or live very fine, equidistant, simple, similar threads, crossed by (on the body whorl about twenty-five) elevated, sharp, arcuate, lamellar riblets, which are continued over the whorl with wider interspaces to the anterior part of the base. The shoulder keel is minutely duplex, narrow, subspinose where it crosses the ribs, and more prominent than they.

When quite young, both surfaces are clothed with whitish down, which soon falls away entirely from the upper surface leaving it a dark glossy green; on the lower surface it turns grey or tawny, and persists until the fall of the leaf; the petiole is 3-16 mm long. Fruits are produced one to three together on a short downy stalk, ripening the first season; the acorns usually 12-18 mm long in the UK, the cups with appressed, downy scales.Bean, W. J. (1976) Trees and shrubs hardy in the British Isles 8th ed., revised.

The length of the shell varies between 4.5 mm and 8.5 mm. (Original description) The small, white, solid shell has a swollen protoconch consisting of 1½ whorl and 5½ subsequent whorls. The suture is distinct, not appressed, with a slightly constricted fasciole in front of it. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl 10-11) rounded fiexuous smooth ribs, most prominent at the periphery on the spire, sigmoidly flexed on the body whorl and absent from the base; the interspaces are equal or wider than the ribs.
|
|
The suture is obscure and appressed. The fasciole (a band of minute tubercles) is immediately adjacent, rather wide, and constricted. The spiral sculpture consists of a few incised lines on the base and threads on the siphonal canal. The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl about fourteen) low feeble ribs, almost knoblike, stronger on the earlier whorls, but which do not reach the base or cross the anal fasciole and which disappear on the last half of the body whorl where there is a moundlike varix and traces of a yellowish spot.

Papaver dubium is a variable annual, growing to about 60 cm in height. It generally flowers in late spring to mid- summer. The flower is large (30-70mm) and showy, with four petals that are lighter red than in the similar Papaver rhoeas, and most commonly without a black spot at the base. The flower stem is usually covered with coarse hairs that are closely appressed to the surface, helping to distinguish it from P. rhoeas in which the hairs are more usually patent, held at right angles to the stem.
|
|
The stipe (the stalk of the leaf, below the blade) is straight and stiff and a glossy black to purplish-black in color. It may be smooth or bear scattered blackish-brown, threadlike scales long and tan, club-shaped hairs long which are appressed (lie flat against the stipe). The stipe measures long (rarely as long as ), and comprises one-tenth to one-quarter or one-third of the length of the blade. It is round in cross- section but slightly flattened adaxially and has indistinct wings on either side, or lacks them entirely.
|
|
The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl) eight rather sharp ribs extending from the suture (which they undulate) to the region of the siphonal canal and continuous up the spire in a direct line with somewhat wider interspaces. The suture is distinct and appressed. The spiral sculpture consists of fine uniform evenly spaced rounded threads, not swollen where they cross the ribs. A single thread at the shoulder is more prominent but not larger than the others, from which and from the suture it is separated by a space devoid of the spiral sculpture which elsewhere covers the surface.
|
|
It has a subfusiform shape, with whorls appressed at and constricted in front of the suture. The constriction corresponds to the anal fasciole behind which the margin of the whorl has the aspect of a thickened band. The axial sculpture, beside incremental lines, consists of twelve low, rounded, strong, slightly protractive ribs with subequal interspaces, strongest just in front of the fasciole, and, on the body whorl becoming obsolete on the base. The spiral sculpture consists of numerous obsolete rather close spiral threads, irregularly disposed, stronger and much more distant on the base, but always obscure.
|
|
The suture is obscure, appressed, with a marked thread at its edge. The spiral sculpture consists of fine spiral striae over the entire shell, and (on the spire two or three, on the body whorl eight) stronger cords undulated but not nodulated where they pass over the axial sculpture, and separated by wider interspaces. The anal fasciole is hardly constricted. The axial sculpture consists of fine sharp incremental lines cutting the minor spirals and, on the body whorl about 13 low rounded ribs extending from the fasciole nearly to the siphonal canal but not conspicuous anywhere, with equal or narrower interspaces.
|
|
They pass over all the transverse ridges and are a little stronger over them. Next the suture are small, short, appressed plications, with a tendency to pair, and even to unite above, thus becoming staple-shaped. The ante-sutural band is excavated, smooth except for the terminations of the plicae, which cease near its posterior border. Near the anterior border the spiral threads begin, crossing sharply-projecting short oblique plications (thirteen on the body whorl) which disappear halfway from the perii) hery to the anterior end of the siphonal canal, and are somewhat angulated just in advance of the ante-sutural band.
|
|
The shell grows to a length of 10 mm; its diameter 3 mm. (Original description) The sculpture of the shell much resembles Globidrillia smirna (Dall, 1881), especially on the older whorls which differ from those of G. smirna in the following particulars : the protoconch is a rich, dark, shining brown.he nodules have more extended bases, and want the white tips. The color of the whorls is more clearly translucent, wanting the pinkish tinge and the white sutural line; the whorls increase more rapidly in size, and are strongly appressed against their predecessors, thus making the line of the suture irregular.

These workers remain outside their nest with their head and thorax appressed and gaster elevated into the air. Observation has shown the workers first attacking the males when the two first encounter each other, followed by the male mounting the worker by grasping it in the cervical region with its mandibles, successfully attaching itself. Both ants usually rest when they mate, but sometimes the workers may groom themselves or move about several moments after, thereby disengaging with the male. On a few occasions, workers have been seen to move as soon as copulation begins and drag the male, eventually dislodging it.

The 12 whorls of the teleoconch are well rounded, and appressed at the summit. They are marked by slender, curved, moderately regular, slightly protractive, axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the first to fifth, 18 upon the sixth, 22 upon the seventh and eighth, 24 upon the ninth and tenth, and 26 upon the penultimate turn. The intercostal spaces are moderately impressed, terminating a little posterior to the periphery of the whorls. The summit of the succeeding turns falls a little anterior to the termination of the intercostal pits and leaves a smooth band in the suture.
|
|
The ring is membranous, superior, skirt-like, flaring then collapsing, pale yellowish white to cream to white, slightly more yellow underneath, with a thickened edge. The volva is absent or present as rings of yellow-brown warts on the bulb or brilliant yellow loose patches appressed to the stem and are large, friable, detersile, sometimes lost during collecting. The flesh is white or slightly pink, hollow or partially hollowed in the middle to stuffed. The spores measure 7.8-11.0 (0.78-1.1 mm) × 5.4-7.0 (0.54-0.70 mm) µm and are ellipsoid to elongate (infrequently broadly ellipsoid) and amyloid.

Hymenophyllum tunbrigense, the Tunbridge filmy fern or Tunbridge filmy-fern, is a small, fragile perennial leptosporangiate fern which forms large dense colonies of overlapping leaves from creeping rhizomes. The common name derives from the leaves which are very thin, only a single cell thick, and translucent, giving the appearance of a wet film. The evergreen fronds are bipinnatifid, deeply and irregularly dissected, about 3 to 6 cm long, 2 cm across with dark winged stipes. In contrast to the similar H. wilsonii the fronds are more divided, flattened, appressed to the substrate and tend to have a bluish tint.

An upper pitcher of N. × pyriformis Nepenthes inermis is known to hybridise with N. talangensis on the upper slopes of Mount Talang, where the two species grow sympatrically. Since N. talangensis was only described as a distinct species in 1994, some of the older literature identifies this hybrid as N. bongso × N. inermis. This natural hybrid is similar to N. dubia, but can be distinguished on the basis of several stable characters. The hybrid has a wider pitcher lid that is never relfexed beyond 90 degrees and the pitcher cup is not appressed in the lower parts as in N. dubia.
|
|
The suture is laid on the anterior keel, which is smaller, and in the subsequent whorls the suture is not appressed but distinct. The spiral sculpture consists of on the first two whorls a strong peripheral cord and one thread at the suture, on the third whorl three threads in front of the cord, on the remainder four. On the body whorl the peripheral cord is not prominent but from the anal fasciole to the siphonal canal are about 16 strong threads with wider interspaces and an occasional intercalary smaller thread. They do not nodulate when they cross the ribs.
|
|
The elongate-conic shell has a wax yellow color, with two yellowish-brown spiral bands The posterior one of which encircles the turns a little above the periphery, while the anterior one, which is a little wider, is immediately posterior to it, the two being separated by a space about as wide as the posterior band. Its length attains 8.5 mm. The whorls of the protoconch are decollated in the type specimen. The 8½ remaining whorls of the teleoconch are very slightly rounded, moderately contracted at the periphery, and closely appressed to the preceding turn at the summit.

Echinacea atrorubens, called the Topeka purple coneflower, is a North American species of plants in the sunflower family. It is native to eastern Kansas, Oklahoma, and eastern Texas in the south-central United States.Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map It is found growing in dry soils around limestone or sandstone outcroppings and prairies. Echinacea atrorubens is a perennial herb up to 90 cm (3 feet) tall with elongate-turbinate roots that are sometimes branched. The stems and foliage are usually hairy with appressed to ascending hairs 1.2 mm long (strigose), rarely some plants are glabrous.
|
|
This sculpture extends also over the whole body whorl and the siphonal canal. The aperture is short, oval, rounded above, with a short, narrow siphonal canal below. The peristome is rather blunt, with a shallow sinus above and a strong rounded rib externally, 3 tooth-like tubercles in its interior, of which the uppermost is the largest. The columellar margin is nearly straight, but slightly concave above, directed to the left below, with a strong layer of enamel, only appressed above, free below, interiorly with a strong tubercle above and 2 flat plaits about its median part, each plait divided by a groove.

Achelousaurus approached the robustness of one of the largest and most heavily built horned dinosaurs known – Triceratops. As a ceratopsid, Achelousaurus would have been a quadrupedal animal with hoofed digits and a shortened, downwards swept tail. Its very large head, which would have rested on a straight neck, had a hooked upper beak, very large nasal openings and long tooth rows developed into dental batteries that contained hundreds of appressed and stacked individual teeth. In the tooth sockets, new teeth grew under the old ones, each position housing a column of teeth posed on top of each other.
|
|
The suture is distinct, appressed, with a nodulose band in front of it where the ends of the ribs are cut off by a very narrow fasciolar constriction. The spiral sculpture consists of a few incised lines cutting only the interspaces between the ribs, on the spire. On the body whorl there are six or seven of these lines, with much wider interspaces, followed by three strong cords close-set on the siphonal canal. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 13) protractively oblique whitish narrow ribs extending from the fasciole to the cords of the siphonal canal, with subequal interspaces and not continuous up the spire.
|
|
The nuclear whorls are smooth, turgid, the subsequent turns carrying a rounded low keel, usually in front of the middle of the whorls forming the pire, the area between which and the suture is flatly impressed, the whorl in front gently rounded. On some of the early whorls the keel is slightly undulated, but not regularly nodulous. Besides the lines of growth, both the fasciole and the anterior part of the whorl show indications under a lens of obscure regular distant spiral striae, and are also more or less marked with a faint vermicular reticulation of the surface. The distinct suture is not appressed.
|
|
The spiral sculpture of (on the early whorls one, later two, and on the body whorl three) strong, rather widely separated threads which are prominently nodulous where they cross the ribs and on the spire are feeble in the interspaces; suture appressed, obscure, the anal fasciole inconspicuous behind the first row of nodules ; on the base are 3 or 4 distant threads and on the siphonal canal a few feeble spirals. The axial sculpture (on the body whorl of about 15) consists of narrow sharp nearly vertical ribs with wider interspaces. The general surface between them shows more or less prominent incremental sculpture. The aperture is narrow.
|
|
The suture is distinct, not appressed, with a broad anal fasciole in front of it, arcuately sculptured by lunate wrinkles following the lines of growth and in the earlier whorls elevated into sharp wrinkles at regular intervals, which are carried more or less distinctly over the anterior part of the whorls. In front of the somewhat concave fasciole the whorls are rounded and spirally sculptured with numerous close, very fine, sharp, spiral threads which cover the whorl, becoming coarser, less regular, and less crowded toward the siphonal canal. The aperture is short and lunate. The outer lip shows a broad, deep, rounded anal sulcus close to the suture.
|
|
On the next whorl these split into two and three tuberculated cords, the third one almost falling into the suture, being appressed to the cord at the summit of the succeeding whorls. These remain inconspicuous on the succeeding whorls, while the other two occupying the middle portion of the shell become decidedly pronounced. The cord at the summit forms an abrupt sloping shoulder, and the space between this and the first strong spiral cord constitutes the sulcus marking the posterior channel of the shell. In addition to these spiral cords the cords themselves and the spaces that separate them are marked by strong spiral threads.
|
|
The protoconch contains 1.5 small whorls, well rounded and smooth. The postnuclear whorls are appressed at the summit with a depressed groove occupying the posterior third between the summit and suture, evenly rounded from the anterior termination of this to the periphery, and marked by strong, broad, rounded, axial ribs. These have their strongest development anterior to the sinus at the summit and become attenuated posteriorly in crossing the base, where they extend to the basal fasciole. Of these ribs, 10 are present on the first four whorls, 12 on the fifth to seventh, 14 on the eighth and ninth, and 16 on the tenth.
|
|
The shell grows to a length of 10 mm. (Original description) The shell is closely related to Inodrillia pharcida with which it may advantageously be compared. The most obvious differences are, that in I. pharcida the ribs and their intersecting sharp spirals are as strong on the body whorl as on the others, in Inodrillia acrybia the ribs on the last whorl are obsolete and the spirals fainter. The spire of I. acrybia is shorter in proportion to the body whorl, the siphonal canal is longer, there is one less whorl in the adult shell, the fasciole is less excavated, the suture more appressed, and consequently less evident.
|
|
The aperture is narrow with a smooth callus. The whorls of the protoconch are probably 3 in the adult; those of the spire 10. The protoconch is smooth, highly polished, and somewhat papillate, the initial whorl for the most part submerged, the succeeding volution rather low and broadly inflated, the final whorl of the protoconch flattened laterally and relatively high. The line of demarcation between the spire and the protoconch is initiated by a protractive thickening of the shell and the introduction of 10 to 12 undulatory protractive riblets on the earlier whorls of the spire, persistent from the appressed posterior margin to the anterior suture.

Opuntia diploursina is a species in the family Cactaceae, that grows near and in Lake Mead National Recreation Area and northward across Nevada's Mormon Mesa, into Utah. This species is a close relative and probable ancestor of Opuntia erinacea, but "...differs in minor spines more closely appressed to pad surface, spines smaller in diameter and more flexible, inter-areolar distance less, upright growth habit, larger fruit with longer, more flexible spines, larger seeds, and diploid chromosome number (2n=22)".Stock, A. D., Hussey, N., & Beckstrom, M. D. (2014). A New Species of Opuntia (Cactaceae) from Mojave Co, Arizona. Cactus and Succulent Journal, 86(2), 79-83.
|
|
The fasciole is wide, smooth except for faint arched incremental lines, excavated, extending from the appressed suture to the angle of the whorls. The spiral sculpture consists of slender elevated threads, tending to run in pairs, with wide interspaces, and extending from the fasciole to the suture in front. There are five or six threads on the whorl next to the last and 20–22 on the body whorl including the siphonal canal. These, without becoming swollen, run over (on the body whorl 16) numerous oblique riblets, beginning at the angle of the whorls where they are largest, crossing the whorl and becoming obsolete on the base.

The pitcher mouth is round and slightly raised at the back. The peristome is cylindrical, up to 3 mm wide, and bears indistinct teeth. The lid or operculum is ovate and slightly raised in the middle. It bears no appendages. An unbranched spur (≤4 mm long) is inserted at the base of the lid. An upper pitcher Upper pitchers are generally larger, growing to 8 cm in height and 4 cm in width. They gradually arise from the ends of the tendrils, forming a 5 to 10 mm wide curve. They are tubular to infundibular in the lower parts with laterally appressed pitcher walls.

Megaskepasma is a monotypic genus of plants containing the single species Megaskepasma erythrochlamys, known by the common name Brazilian red-cloak. Native to Venezuela and elsewhere in South America, it is a free branching, upright showy tropical shrub that grows to 3 m high with appressed reddish hairs, stout stems, and broad ovate 12–30 cm long dark green leaves with pink midrib. It is grown as an ornamental shrub in climates from warm temperate to tropical for its inflorescence, large erect heads of conspicuous crimson bracts, and two-lipped white flowers. This plant prefers a rich soil and is propagated from seed or cuttings.
|
|
They form a depressed helicoid spire which has its axis at right angles to the axis of the succeeding turns and is about one-fifth immersed in the first of them. The exposed portion of the nine whorls of the teleoconch are flattened in the middle, the posterior fourth sloping gently toward the summit, which is closely appressed to the preceding turn. The anterior portion slopes more abruptly, roundly toward the periphery. The whorls are ornamented by strong rather distantly spaced, moderately acute, slightly protractive axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon the first three, 16 on the next three, 18 on the seventh, and 20 upon the penultimate turn.

This family of moss is either comose or hoary and forms loose, yellow- or brown-green turves or cushions. It has a creeping, subterranean primary stem with pale rhizoids and scale-like leaves while its glossy secondary stem is erect, laterally branched and usually amentaceous. Its ecostate leaves are broadly elliptic to nearly cochleariform, strongly concave, appressed or erect-spreading, occasionally slightly decurrent; margins erect or narrowly recurved, entire or toothed, and are densely packed at stem apices. Pleurophascaceae is a dioecious moss with its perichaetia and gemmiform perigonia borne on short, lateral branches arising from the secondary stems, or in the case of P. occidentale, terminal on secondary stems.
|
|
The whorls show a conspicuous shoulder, above which a slightly concave spirally striate anal fasciole extends to the appressed suture, which on the last whorl or two shows indications of a marginal thickening. The axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl, about fifteen) protractive short riblets with subequal or slightly shorter interspaces apparently confined to the periphery: these are crossed by t\ro strong spiral threads, the posterior largest and forming oblong tumid nodules at the intersections. The anterior thread is also but less conspicuously nodulous or undulated. The rest of the surface is covered with fine spiral threads, of which there are three between the two large ones above mentioned.
|
|
These ridges rise into points where they cross the carina in front of the notch-band and the ante-sutural rib. Of other transverse sculpture, there are only the lines of growth which are prominent only where they cross the band marking the track of the notch. The revolving sculpture consists of a rather stout rib closely appressed to the suture forming one margin of the band, the other edge of which forms a carina, in advance of which are (on the body whorl 20–23) flattened riblets with about equal interspaces which extend with regularity to the anterior end of the siphonal canal. The aperture is equal to half the total length, margins and columella are thin.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 8 mm, its diameter 3 mm. (Original description) The small, delicate shell is whitish, with a four- whorled brown, trochiform, sinusigera protoconch and four subsequent rather slender whorls. The transverse sculpture consists of faint delicate lines of growth, which are puckered or gathered into a sort of narrow frill or band, appressed against the suture and bounded in front by the smooth anal fasciole, on which the anterior ends of the wavelets become obsolete. The spiral sculpture is rather strong on the periphery of some of the earlier whorls, but elsewhere consists of faint threads and grooves which are extended forward more or less distinctly to the end of the siphonal canal.
|
|
The summit of the whorls is marked by a smooth spiral cord representing the portion appressed to the preceding turn. On the later whorls the sinal sulcus at the summit is crossed by two slender spiral threads anterior to the cord at the summit which divides the space between this cord and the first strong nodulose cord into nearly equal portions. There is also a slender spiral cord between the first and second strong nodulose cords on the antepenultimate turn and two on the body whorl. There are two slender spiral cords between the second nodulose cord and the nodulose cord at the periphery which shows weakly in the suture of the whorls.
|
|
They are marked by exceedingly strong, very distantly spaced axial ribs, of which 16 occur upon the second and third, 14 upon the fourth, and 12 upon the penultimate turn. These ribs are well rounded and have a slightly retractive slant. The spiral sculpture consists of five raised bands, which are a little wider than the spaces that separate them. The first of these is at the appressed summit of the whorls, while the fifth is immediately posterior to the angulated periphery (for in the adolescent stage, as shown by the overhanging portion of the whorls the periphery is angulated, though this is not the case in the body whorl of the adult shell).
|
|
Their axis is almost at right angles to that of the succeeding turns, in the first of which they are about one-third immersed. The 8½ whorls of the teleoconch are feebly rounded, and appressed at the summit. They are marked by rather feeble, almost vertical, axial ribs, of which 18 occur upon the second and third, 20 upon the fourth and fifth, and 22 upon the remaining whorls. The intercostal spaces are feebly impressed, about as wide as the ribs, crossed by eleven incised spiral lines between the sutures, of these the fifth is the widest, being fully twice as wide as the third and sixth, which are of equal strength.

The forewings are rather dark glossy fuscous, on the undersurface with the anterior half clothed with light ochreous-yellowish hairs, limited by a large transverse patch of very long curled hairs beyond the middle, anteriorly light yellowish, posteriorly fuscous, above which is a longitudinal brush of dense dark fuscous hairs from beneath the costa. The hindwings are fuscous, towards the costa posteriorly with modified scales tinged with whitish ochreous, on the anterior half of the costa with a fringe of very long dense ochreous-yellow hairs projecting beneath the forewings. On the undersurface is a broad median fascia of ochreous-yellow suffusion clothed with appressed (flattened) hairs except towards the lower extremity.Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society.

S. nigrum L. subsp. nigrum — glabrous to slightly hairy with appressed non-glandular hairs 2. S. nigrum L. subsp. schultesii (Opiz) Wessley — densely hairy with patent, glandular hairs The Solanum nigrum complex — also known as Solanum L. section Solanum — is the group of black nightshade species characterized by their lack of prickles and stellate hairs, their white flowers, and their green or black fruits arranged in an umbelliform fashion. The Solanum species in this group can be taxonomically confused, more so by intermediate forms and hybridization between the species. Some of the major species within the S. nigrum complex are: S. nigrum, S. americanum, S. douglasii, S. opacum, S. ptychanthum, S.retroflexum, S. sarrachoides, S. scabrum, and S. villosum.

The Sauriurae are a putative clade of primitive birds that includes Archaeopteryx, Confuciusornis, and Enantiornithes. It is thought by Feduccia and Martin to be phylogenetically separate from the Ornithurae and, thus, from modern birds. Apsaravis has features of both Sauriurae and Ornithurae. Apsaravis has several characters that place it near Aves (sensu Gauthier), including the presence of at least ten sacral vertebrae, a pubis and ischium that are closely appressed, distal pubes that do not touch, an 'obturator flange' on the ischium, loss of the cuppedicus muscle fossa on the ilium, a patellar groove on the distal femur, an anterior sternal keel, completely heterocoelus vertebrae, curved scapular shaft, and several features of the forelimb, ankle, and foot.

|
The first three subsequent whorls are sculptured with neat flexuous ribs transversely disposed. The next four whorls are crossed transversely with only the rather strong and distinct rounded lines of growth which cover pretty much all the rest of the shell except the tops of the longitudinal riblets. The longitudinal sculpture shows a keel just in advance of the suture upon which the posterior edge of the former is appressed, then a few faint revolving striae on the bi'oad notch-band, then two more keels, or sharp squarish riblets (on the body whorl ten or twelve). The first are marked with numerous knobby waves extending forward in the interspace toward the second keel rather than outwardly, and sometimes meeting and slightly waving the second keel .

Its head is metallic steel blue; the face straight except the ventral fifth produced anteriorly, strongly rugose and shiny; the macula is widely separated from the antennal base; the gena is shiny and rugose; the frontal triangle is shiny; frontal lunule smooth; vertical triangle black. Dichoptic, eyes separated by approximately the width of the anterior ocellus; the occiput is white; the eye brown, with a distinct medial dark vitta. The antenna is orange, except for the basofiagellomere, which is more brownish on its apical 2/3 and is elongate. The thorax is a metallic steel blue colour: its pile short and appressed, white on steel blue areas, black on darker areas; mesonotum has darker blackish blue submedial and sublateral vittae; squama and plumula are white; halter orange.

Tropicoporus tropicalis is a fungus with the growth characteristics of being appressed, short-downy, homogeneous, adherent, even margins, indistinct, and odourless. It is also woolly and yellowish-orange colonies, with annual fruiting bodies and dimitic hyphal system, which refers to the appearance of two kinds of hyphae: generative (2.5 – 4 ɥm in diameter, thin-walled, simple- septate, and pale yellowish brown), and skeletal (3.5 – 4.5 ɥm in diameter, thick-walled, infrequently simple-septate, and dull yellowish brown). Moreover, the fungus lacks setal hyphae and clamp connections in its hyphae, which is either thin or thick walled. However, it has numerous reddish brown Hymenial setae that has a maximum length of 25 ɥm, and has dull brown pores that becomes whiter near the margin.

Members of Lycopodiaceae are non-flowering and do not produce seeds, and instead they produce spores, which are oily and flammable spores and are the most economically important aspects of these plants. The plants bear their spores on specialized structures at the apex of a shoot called a strobilus (plural: strobili); they resemble a tiny battle club, from which the common name derives. They share a common feature of having a microphyll, which is a "small leaf with a single vein, and not associated with a leaf gap in the central vascular system." In Lycopodiaceae, the microphylls often densely cover the stem in a linear, scale-like, or appressed fashion to the stem, and the leaves are either opposite or spirally arranged.

|
The shell is covered with an olivaceous periostracum, with about eleven whorls. The protoconch is more or less eroded, but apparently smooth, acute, and including about two and a half whorls. The subsequent whorls are rather flat, compressed and appressed at and in front of the suture, with a rounded base and inconspicuous anal fasciole. The sculpture consists chiefly of flattish spiral threads, one at the suture, three smaller ones in front of it, followed by a flat broader one representing the fasciole, then (on the body whorl eight) more prominent threads, undulate or segmented by incremental lines and with wider interspaces (sometimes containing an intercalary smaller thread) to the base, followed by six or seven unsegmented threads to the siphonal fasciole, which bears six or seven smaller threads.
|
|
The length of the shell attains 23 mm, its diameter 10 mm. (Original description) The small, thin, polished shell has a pointed simisigera protoconch of 3½ whorls and six subsequent whorls. The protoconch is bright yellow-brown, often caducous, leaving the white internal callus to represent it, which being molded on the interior of the protoconch whorls, is polished and smooth, while the original protoconch has an oblique reticular curved sculpture. The sculpture is much like that of Spergo glandiniformis, but having the whorls appressed at the suture lower on the antecedent whorl, the riblets more prominent, less oblique, and higher on the whorl, the fasciole more deeply impressed and its sculpture indicating a deeper sinus, and the fine spiral grooving continuous and uniform over the whole surface of the shell.
|
|
The suture is strongly appressed with a smooth narrow band in front of it and behind the somewhat constricted fasciole Other spiral sculpture consists of sharply incised lines, four or five on the spire between the sutures, equal and with wider equal rounded interspaces, and about 24 on the body whorl. The interspaces become more cord-like near the siphonal canal and sometimes feebly nodulous where the lines cut the ribs. The axial sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl about 18) feeble narrow ribs, stronger near the apex, obsolete on the body whorl, with wider interspaces, beginning in front of the fasciole, hardly reaching the base, and protractively oblique. There are also fine sharp incremental lines, chiefly evident in the depressions, but here and there finely reticulating the interspaces.

Pherosphaera hookeriana is a densely-branched erect shrub or small tree growing to heights of 5 meters, branches are often small and rigid with leaves arranged spirally and fully appressed to the stem. Individual leaves can measure up to 1.5 millimetres (mm) long, and 1 mm wide, leaves are thick, blunt and concave with a rounded keel. Male flowers in compressed, terminal globular cones, ranging from 1–5 mm in diameter, with 8 to 15 fertile scales, each scale has two pollen sacs on the abaxial surface. Female flowers occur in cones on short branches that usually droop (hence the old common name) flowers are globular ranging from 2–4 mm long and have 3-8 fertile scales, with a single ovule on the upper surface of each scale.

There are three somewhat irregular oblique dark fuscous lines from beneath the costal edge, the first almost straight from before one-fourth to the middle of the dorsum, the second from the middle somewhat sinuate in the disc to the dorsum at three-fourths, the third from three-fourths rather curved on the lower half to the tornus, the space between the second and third pale grey on the dorsal half. A marginal series of blackish dots is found around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish, the costa strongly expanded on the anterior half, expansion fringed with white scales and clothed on the lower surface with closely appressed long ochreous- whitish hairs. There is an ochreous-yellowish subcostal streak reaching the middle.

The lines of growth are more or less distinct, but not uniform, while tlie ribs on one whorl bear no uniform relation in position to those on the next or preceding whorls. Longitudinally each whorl is appressed in a thickened band against the suture, next in front of which band is the (except on the last half-whorl) narrow unsculptured band indicating the path of the notch. This on the last half-whorl widens out considerably if the specimen in hand be typical, though in this case it may be an individual characteristic. Before the notch-band, and even encroaching a little on it, and extending over the surface of the whorls, are six or seven (on the body whorl seventeen) slightly raised rounded revolving lines, with slightly wider shallow interspaces, which are about equally prominent over the transverse ribs and between them.

The forewings are ochreous orange in males and pale ochreous yellowish streaked with orange in females. There is a costal streak from the base to three-fifths and a series of well-marked interneural streaks, not reaching the costa posteriorly or the termen, blackish or dark fuscous, interrupted by a somewhat curved oblique double median fascia, of which the first half is ochreous yellow, paler in females, and the second deep ochreous orange suffusedly edged with dark fuscous. There is a blackish line along the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous, in males with an ochreous-yellow streak from the base along a subdorsal groove enclosing a pencil of long ochreous-whitish hairs, posteriorly dilated into a broad patch extending all along the termen but not quite reaching it, in which is a curved line of appressed hairs.

Afro Moths The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are pale whitish ochreous, the costa very faintly and narrowly shaded with ochreous and with a small patch of elongated scales on the dorsal margin near the base, forming an appressed tuft, a small fuscous discal spot a little above the middle of the wing at one-fourth from the base, followed by another nearly obsolete spot towards the end of the cell, situated in the middle of a narrow oblique subfuscous shade. Beneath these two, and equidistant from each, is another indistinct spot on the fold. Halfway between the end of the cell and the apex is a semicircular series of almost obsolete fuscous dots running nearly parallel to the margin of the wing, and on the apical margin itself is a series of rather more distinct but scarcely larger dots of the same colour.

The cap of Amanita umbrinolutea is usually free of volval remnants, 45 – 90 mm wide, at first conico-paraboloid, then somewhat campanulate to convex and finally planar, umbonate, with a strongly striate margin (margins occupying around 25 - 35% of the whole cap's radius). The cap has a distinctive pattern of color, often dark in the center, then pale, then dark over the inner edges of the lamellae and on the ridges between the marginal striations and at other times pallid in the center, but also strongly zonate; intensity of pigmentation is variable, with the center ranging from umber to grayish umber-brown to beige or pale grayish brown even within a single collection. The gills are free, crowded, off-white to sordid pale cream in mass, and up to 6 mm (0.6 cm) broad; the short gills are truncate, of varying length, scattered and unevenly distributed. The stem is 115 - 185 × 6 – 11 mm, pale cream to pale beige or isabella color or pale grayish brown, with a faint appressed zigzag girdles of fibrils, with a fleshy membranous sack-like volva at the base.

Tokarahia differs from other eomysticetids in possessing elongate, dorsoventrally tapering zygomatic processes that are medially bowed, with a concave lateral margin, an elongate diamond-shaped posterior bullar facet lacking longitudinal striations, and a transverse crest on the dorsal surface of the periotic, between the posterodorsal angle and the posterior internal acoustic meatus. It is similar to Tohoraata raekohao in having numerous foramina in the supraorbital process of the frontal, an ovalshaped incisural flange closely appressed to the anteroventral part of the pars cochlearis, a prominent dorsal tubercle between the stylomastoid fossa and apertures for the cochlear and vestibular aqueducts, a triangular anterior process in medial view with a posteriorly placed anterodorsal angle, a concave anterodorsal margin between the anteroventral and anterodorsal angles, an internal acoustic meatus that is anteriorly transversely pinched, a posterodorsal angle that is more acute and approximately 90° or smaller, and lacking a posterior bullar facet that is ‘folded’ into two facets by a hingeline, and additionally lacking longitudinal striations on the posterior bullar facet. However, it differs from Tohoraata in the structure of the earbone. The two species of Tokarahia are distinguished by the structure of the earbone as well as the degree of cranial telescoping.
