|
aestivation |
|
Having the petals of the keel (carina) enclosing the others. |
contorted 1 |
= convolute |
aestivation |
|

= torsive |
aestivation |

convolute 1 |
= contorted |
aestivation |
|
Imbricate and whorled, each member in turn overlapped by that to one side and overlapping that to the other, the whole tightly rolled and appearing as though twisted. |

= contortuplicate |
aestivation |
|
Plicate and contorted. |
overlapping 1 |
= imbricate(d) |
aestivation |
|
Having members whorled or spirally inserted and overlapping one another, each overlapping or overlapped to either side, and also above or below if spirally arranged or in multiple whorls. |
