Defn: Plaited; folded like a fan; as, a plicate leaf.
They grow in wet land, have large, elliptical, plicate leaves in three vertical ranks, and bear panicles of greenish flowers.
The margin of the cap, especially in old plants, is somewhat wavy or plicate as in Lactarius fuliginosus.
The plicate striate character of the cap is singular among the species of this genus, and is shared by another species, =G.
Gills= usually free, pileus deeply plicate so that the gills are split where they are attached to the pileus, pileus membranaceous, very tender but not diffluent.
The plant is recognized by the pale yellow color of the caps and the plicate striate character of the margin.
Peridium= globose or depressed-globose, plicate underneath, with a cordlike root.
The under surface is occasionally plicate as in the long-stemmed puff-ball.
Peridium= depressed—globose or broadly obovoid, plicate underneath with a slender fibrous mycelium.
Peridium= large, depressed globose, plicate underneath and sometimes with a narrow umboniform base, which is continuous with the thick root.
Peridium= obovoid, plicate below, with a short-pointed base and a cord-like root.
Peridium= turbinate, depressed above, plicate below and contracted into a more or less elongated base.
Peridium= obovoid, somewhat depressed above, plicate underneath, with a mycelium of rooting fibers.
Peridium= turbinate, broad and depressed above, plicate underneath and contracted into a short and pointed or sometimes elongated and tapering base; mycelium fibrous.
This species is well marked by the pale-yellow color of the pileus and its plicate striations which are very distinct even in the dried specimens.
Stems terete, from coated bulbs, with few plicate leaves, and few fugacious flowers from 2-bracted spathes.
Seeds without albumen; embryo filling the cavity of the seed; cotyledons thick and fleshy or membranaceous, longitudinally plicate or corrugated, much shorter than the superior radicle turned toward the hilum.
The peridium is round, often slightly depressed above, plicate below, where it is abruptly contracted into a long stem-like base.
By combining these two ratios, we find that the velocity of the radial stream will be in the ses-plicate ratio of the distances inversely.
