Key to PectocaryaView taxon page for Pectocarya
(For a list of species in Pectocarya, use the above link.) Jepson Manual glossary definitions can be seen by moving your cursor over words underlined with dots. 1. Nutlets paired or not, ± round or obovate to ± equally 4-sided, margins ± entire  Having margins that are continuous and smooth (i.e., without teeth, lobes, etc.). ; calyx radial  Divisible into mirror-image halves in three or more ways. , lobes  1. A major expansion or bulge, such as on the margin of a leaf, sepal, or petal, or on the surface of an ovary. 2. The free tips of otherwise fused structures, such as sepals or petals; larger than teeth. > nutlets; lower cauline leaves opposite  1. Arranged in pairs along an axis - e.g., two leaves per node. 2. Occurring in the same rank, directly above or below, as 'stamens opposite petals'. 3. Located directly across from. , fused at base 2. Nutlets not paired, ± diamond-shaped; calyx lobe  1. A major expansion or bulge, such as on the margin of a leaf, sepal, or petal, or on the surface of an ovary. 2. The free tips of otherwise fused structures, such as sepals or petals; larger than teeth. tip bristles hooked; stem branched ± near base; pedicel  Stalk of an individual flower in an inflorescence, or the corresponding structure in fruit. in fruit 1–2.3 mm ..... P. pusilla 2' Nutlets paired, ± round to obovate; calyx lobe tip bristles not hooked; stem branched above; pedicel in fruit ± 0.5 mm ..... P. setosa 1' Nutlets paired, linear  Elongate, with nearly parallel sides; narrower than elliptic or oblong. or oblanceolate to oblong  Longer than wide, with nearly parallel sides; wider than linear. or ovate-elliptic, margins wavy to ± dentate  Having margins with sharp, relatively coarse teeth pointing outward, not tipward. ; calyx bilateral  Divisible into mirror-image halves in only one way. , lobes < nutlets; lower cauline leaves generally alternate  1. Arranged singly, often spirally, along an axis - e.g., one leaf per node. 2. Occurring in different ranks, appearing to be between, not directly above or below, as 'stamens alternate petals'. , not fused at base 3. Cauline nutlets dissimilar, margin of 1 pair narrow or 0, of the other wide; basal  At or near the base of a plant or plant part. Especially said of leaves clustered near the ground or of a placenta confined to the base of an ovary. cleistogamous flowers present 4. Cauline nutlets curved in 2 planes, 1 pair incurved, the other recurved  Gradually curved downward or backward. ; pedicel in fruit partly fused to 1 nutlet; lower 3 calyx lobes unequal ..... P. heterocarpa 4' Cauline nutlets generally straight, all spreading  Oriented more or less perpendicularly to the axis of attachment; often, more or less horizontal. in 1 plane; pedicel in fruit free from nutlets; lower 3 calyx lobes ± equal ..... P. peninsularis 3' Cauline nutlets similar, wavy-margined or dentate; basal cleistogamous flowers 0 5. Nutlet margins wavy, erect  Upright; vertically oriented. to incurved, not or ± dentate entire length ..... P. penicillata 5' Nutlet margins dentate ± entire length 6' Nutlet straight to occasionally ± recurved, ± oblong to linear 7. Stem prostrate  Lying flat on the ground. to decumbent  lying mostly flat on the ground but with tips curving up. ; nutlet margin teeth width at base generally << length; nutlets straight or ± recurved at tip ..... P. linearis subsp. ferocula 7' Stem ascending  Curving or angling upward from base, or about 30-60 degrees less than vertical or away from axis of attachment. to erect; nutlet margin teeth width at base ± = length; nutlets recurved, generally ± so, ± throughout ..... P. platycarpa
