unstalked

Directly attached, stemless

Unstalked describes something lacking a stalk—the slender stem that supports a leaf, flower, or fruit.

In botany, unstalked leaves attach directly to the main stem without a petiole: The unstalked leaves clasp the branch.

The word also means not being followed or harassed by a stalker: She felt unstalked for the first time in months.
