Pleiomeric

Upon further changes these flowers became oligo- or pleiomeric.

As for the many species and varieties of angiosperms, horticultural or natural, with their pleiomeric and meiomeric floral members, petaloid stamens, staminoid petals, carpelloid stamens, etc., it would be difficult to assert absolutely whether we were concerned with disorganizations or neo-organizations.

In the Celastrales and structurally similar Orders such as Rutales Malvales, Sapindales, the gynoecium appears, in different genera, to be either truly compound (connate ovaries derived from two or more female sporoclades) or falsely compound (expanded or pleiomeric derived from one female sporoclade only).

The great variety of nucleotide conformations which occur in these large asymmetric units has prompted us to describe them as pleiomeric, a term used in botany to describe whorls having more than the usual number of structures.

The morphological differences between this pleiomeric DNA polymer and closely-related, but more symmetrical allomorphs are just as great as those observed in short DNA fragments in crystals.

An American chemist has stated the pleiomeric chemicals in onions have the potential to alleviate or prevent sore throat.
