cupules

基本解釋

Cupules splitting into 2-4 valves;
殼斗2-4瓣裂；
The nuts were originally described as being separate from the cupules except for the basal part, but the authors found a considerable portion of the nut to be adnate to the cupule.
原描述說堅(jiān)果除基部外均與殼斗離生，但作者發(fā)現(xiàn)相當(dāng)多的堅(jiān)果是與殼斗貼生的。
Cupules grouped together in cymes on rachis but often many aborted, corky, horny, woody, or crustaceous, completely or partly enclosing nut;
殼斗在軸上聚傘狀，但是通常很多中止發(fā)育，木栓質(zhì)、角質(zhì)、木質(zhì)，或者殼質(zhì)，完全或者部分包圍堅(jiān)果；
cupules in clusters of 3-5.
用3-5的群的殼斗。
