What's the difference between distichous and multijugate?
Distichous
Definition:
(n.) Disposed in two vertical rows; two-ranked.
Example Sentences:
(1) Only 5 species were found in the native soil sites, and salt grass (Distichlis spicata L.) was the predominant species and accounted for over 80% of the total biomass.
(2) Biomass production, selenium accumulation, and the role of the bioextraction of selenium by salt grass (Distichlis spicata L.) in soils with elevated concentrations of Se and salinity at Kesterson, California, were studied.
(3) Recipient plants had six-rowded (hexastichous) spikes, and donor plants--two rowded (distichous) spikes.
(4) Simultaneously a reversion of hordein composition to the initial mutant type was observed, and the distichous pikes became hexastichous.
Multijugate
Definition:
(a.) Having many pairs of leaflets.
Example Sentences:
(1) It is shown here that for the construction of a phyllotactic structure, no special angles or distances need be defined; natural growth functions can be used; planar, cylindrical, conical, and paraboloid constructions are possible within the same model; and constructions leading to accessory sequences and multijugate sequences can also be carried out.
