Spanish translation:rostelo en [forma de] flecha

Explanation:
Debe de referirse a "rostel", la parte de las plantas conocida en latín como "rostellum" y en español como "rostelo". El nombre habitual en inglés es "rostellum".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rostellum

Aquí, "swept" significaría "en flecha" o "en forma de flecha".

Lista/tabla de exclusión.

Explanation:
I understand that a dichotomous key is a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world. Keys consist of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct name of a given item. "Dichotomous" means "divided into two parts". Therefore, dichotomous keys always give two choices in each step. The swept roster must be a list of some kind that "sweeps" options away. I'm not familiar with the topic, but it's an option.

"Rostrum de 9 - 10 mm de largo, sin reducido ápice, choro-sericeoso, con patentes,pelos eglandulares de 0,3 - 1,4 mm de largo;Restos estigmáticos de 0,8 a 2 mm de largo (relación longitud del fruto /longitus restos estigmáticos = 7,25 - 11), generalmente con 5 lóbulos glabros".
