SSA: peltate - applied to a leaf, or sometimes some other organ with a stalk, of which the stalk is attached to its undersurface instead of to its edge FPW: Peltate = More or less circular and flat with the stalk inserted ini the middle ATRFT1: peltate = describes organs attached by the middle, e.g. like the handle of an umbrella. CFFP: peltate - having the blade attached by its lower surface to the stalk, instead of by its margin IPT: peltate = with the petiole attached at or near the center of the lower surface of a usually orbicular blade, such as in Nelumbo or garden nasturtium; a falsely peltate situation may occur, such as in Nymphaea or Nuphar, where a cut or sinus extends from 1
