Biseriate
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (May 2025) |
Biseriate is a botanical term applied to both plantae and fungi, meaning 'arranged in two rows'.[1]
The term can refer to any number of structures found within these kingdoms, from arrangement of leaves to the placement of spores.
It becomes useful in taxonomy for placing a species within a certain genus, family, or even order, based upon morphology, when making an initial choice or when DNA evidence is inconclusive.
