“Each sequence of thecae forms a stipe, or branch, and colonies varied in the numbers of stipes that they possessed.”

“The stipe is a cellular tissue derived from the column, and should not be confused with caudicles.”

“In the picture above, you can see the flat photosynthetic structures, the lamina, or blades, branching from the stipe, or stalk.”

“Young Pigfish are pinkish with thin stipes on the sides of the body and red lines on the head.”

“Each sequence of thecae forms a stipe, or branch, and colonies varied in the numbers of stipes that they possessed.”

“The dst1-1 mutant regularly developed mature fruiting bodies at the top of dark stipes after a prolonged cultivation.”

“The stipites throughout the genus are conspicuously dilated for about half their length from the base upward, the other portion of them being comparatively very narrow.”

“From an underground, thick, oblique rhizome, the short, green, succulent stipites arise, in a tufted form, and are crinite with brown, subulate, shining scales.”

“Thrips mouthparts comprise a mouthcone, consisting of the labrum, labium, a pair of maxillary stipites and laciniae, and another stylet that is a slender left mandible.”
