A stipule is "intrapetiolar" if it is located in the angle that is between a stem and a petiole. In this case, the two stipules generally form together and appear to be one stipule. A stipule is "ochreate" if a single stipule appears to be a solid tube that goes all the way around the stem. A stipule is "foliaceous" if it is leaf-like.
Artocarpus sericicarpus measures up to 30–40 m (100–130 ft), stipule are lanceolate and measure at 6–12 centimetres (2–5 in) and its dark green leaves are elliptic and ovate and measure at 20–70 cm (8–28 in) by 10–50 cm (4–20 in).
The majority of species are shade-loving herbaceous plants or shrubs, which are easily distinguished from other Urticaceae by the combination of opposite leaves (with rare exceptions) with a single ligulate intrapetiolar stipule in each leaf axil and cymose or paniculate inflorescences (again with rare exceptions).
Plants 8 to 40 cm. Stems with one or two flowers, without or with one stipule, never rooting at the nodes. Fruits (follicles) seated on the receptacle or on a short stem (stipitate). → 9 Plants 10 to 80 cm. Stems usually with four to nine but occasionally less flowers, with one to several stipules, sometimes rooting at the nodes after flowering.
Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces.

A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or growing seasons. Biennial plants usually form a basal rosette of leaves in the first year and then flower and fruit in the second year. bifid Forked; cut in two for about half its length. Compare trifid. bifoliate
