decumbent

Stems emerge from a root collar (root to shoot transition zone near soil surface) 5-10 cm below ground and are fairly ascending to decumbent and are usually not longer than 50 cm (Dee and Palmer, 2017).

Narrow decumbent scales of the vertex (19) served as a helpful diagnostic feature to separate Cx.

In spite of the possibility of propagation by grafting, in practice no grafted plants are found in orchards of this fruit because of the slower growth in relation to seminal plants, besides problems of poor stem formation and decumbent branches, a fact that does not motivate the producers to use vegetative propagation in the formation of seedlings in commercial orchards (SACRAMENTO et al., 2007; CARVALHO, 2014).

Annuals, 0.2-0.8 m tall, culms decumbent. Leaf blades hirsute.

verbascoidea and Ipomoea marcellia) (MENDONCA et al., 2012; ROCHA et al., 2016), is a decumbent upright shrub that grows up to 1-5m in height with oblong or oval-circular leaves and has solitary purple or lilac flowers (AUSTIN et al.

Plants with decumbent leaves and small photosynthetic area are more limited in the process of C[O.sub.2] fixation through photosynthesis (Silva et al., 2016), which can be noted in the present study, because maize is a crop that has undergone a program of genetic improvement and selection of genotypes increasingly efficient in terms of leaf architecture, leaf area and sunlight capture, whereas millet and sorghum exhibit these same features in a more rudimentary way, which negatively reflects on the dry matter supply by these crops, compared with maize.

tegulaneus in Kenya, Heenan (1977) noted that a number of large decumbent live specimens of this species had been partially hollowed out lengthwise by the local Sambum herdsmen to form cattle drinking troughs.

decumbent, erect (among others) sporophyll, and indument details, and leaf venation whenever possible.

Plants decumbent, covered with rufous-furfuraceous scales, slightly branched, densely leaved.

Nitrogen and phosphorus contents in grain and straw also increased significantly due to Si application up to 180 kg Si ha-1 The combination of high nitrogen rates and the absence and/or low silicon rates tend to turn leaves more decumbent as a result of greater leaf opening angles (Yoshida et al.
