has gloss | eng: The term succubous 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 succubous, the lower edge of each leaf would overlap the next lower leaf along the stem. Because of this, the lower edge of each leaf is visible from above, but the edge of the leaf closer to the tip of the stem is obscured by a neighboring leaf. The opposite of succubous is incubous. |
lexicalization | eng: succubous |
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 hepatic, liverwort |
