e/Incubous

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The term incubous is used to describe the way in which the leaves of a plant are attached to the stem. If you were to look down from above (dorsal side) on a plant where the leaf attachment is incubous, the upper edge of each leaf would overlap the next higher leaf along the stem. Because of this, the upper edge of each leaf is visible from above, but the lower edge of each leaf is obscured by its neighboring leaf. The opposite of incubous is succubous.
lexicalizationeng: incubous
instance of(noun) any of numerous small green nonvascular plants of the class Hepaticopsida growing in wet places and resembling green seaweeds or leafy mosses
