Article Example
Terete Terete is a term used in botany to describe a cross section that is circular, or like a distorted circle, with a single surface wrapping around it. This is usually contrasted with cross-sections that are flattened, with a distinct upper surface that is different from the lower surface. The cross-section of a branch in a tree is somewhat round, so the branch is terete. The cross section of a leaf has an upper surface, and a lower surface, so the leaf is not terete. Fruticose lichens are terete, with a roughly circular cross section and a single wrap-around skin-like surface called the cortex, compared to foliose lichens and crustose lichens, which have a flattened cross section with an upper surface that is distinct from the lower surface.
Galanthus The scape (flowering stalk) is erect, leafless, terete or compressed.
Dendrocnide sinuata Petiole is long, terete, with glandular stinging hairs.
Schottera nicaeensis The thallus consists of short flat fronds rising from a prostrate terete branched holdfast and growing to a length of about 10 cm. It branches once or twice and bears terete proliferations at the tips.
