Asyndeton

Asyndeton (uh-SIN-di-ton) is 

  • the omission of conjunctions, as in "He has provided the poor with jobs, with opportunity, with respect."
  • the omission of cross references, especially from a catalog

Asyndeton comes from the Greek roots a + syndetos literally meaning "not bound together".
