  2. Petiole (insect anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petiole_(insect_anatomy)

    The plump portion of the abdomen posterior to the petiole (and postpetiole in the Myrmicinae) is called the gaster. [3] The structure of the petiole is an easy way to visually classify ants, because the major subfamilies of Formicidae have structural differences: some ants have two-segmented petioles, while others have a single-segmented petiole.

  4. Electric ant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_ant

    The pedicel, between the thorax and gaster, has two segments; the petiole and postpetiole. The petiole is "hatchet-like", with a node that is almost rectangular in profile and higher than the postpetiole. The antennae have 11 segments, with the last two segments greatly enlarged into a distinct club. The antennal scape (the first segment) is ...

  5. Petiole (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petiole_(botany)

    The petiole is a stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant stem. In petiolate leaves the leaf stalk may be long (as in the leaves of celery and rhubarb), or short (for example basil). When completely absent, the blade attaches directly to the stem and is said to be sessile. Subpetiolate leaves have an extremely short petiole, and may appear sessile.

    Petiole – a leaf stalk supporting a blade and attaching to a stem at a node. Petiolule - the leaf stalk of a leaflet. Pulvinus – the swollen base of a petiole or petiolule, usually involved in leaf movements and leaf orientation. Rachilla – a secondary axis of a multiply compound leaf. Rachis – main axis of a pinnately compound leaf.

  8. Pedicel (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedicel_(botany)

    Pedicel is also applied to the stem of the infructescence. The word "pedicel" is derived from the Latin pediculus, meaning "little foot". [2] The stem or branch from the main stem of the inflorescence that holds a group of pedicels is called a peduncle. [3] A pedicel may be associated with a bract or bracts. [4]

  9. Stipule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stipule

    A stipule is "adnate" if it's fused together on part of the petiole length, but the anterior is still free. A stipule is "interpetiolar" if it is located in between the petioles, as opposed to being attached to the petioles, and generally one stipule from each leaf is fused together, so it appears that there's just one stipule between each leaf ...
