indurate(d) |
= hard |
texture |
|
Yielding only under strong pressure; not deformable without internal structural disruption. See also callose (callous), corticate (hard-coated), sclerocaulous (hard-stemmed). |
granular |
= granulate, granulose |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
woody |
= ligneous |
texture |
|
Of or resembling wood (xylem). |
granulate |
= granular, granulose |
texture |
|
Composed of grain-like particles; loose, dry, and coarsely particulate. |
osseous |
= bony |
texture |
|
Very hard and rather brittle, like bone. |
granulose |
= granular, granulate |
texture |
|

greasy 2 |
= oily, oleaginous, unctuous |
texture |
|
Liquid or deformably solid, cohesive, and slippery to the touch. |
loose 2 |
|
texture |
|
Soft overall, discontinuously and only weakly cohesive. |
flaccid |
|
texture |
|
Limp, sometimes appearing withered or shrunken. See also tumid (swollen, turgid). |
pergamentaceous |
= parchment-like |
texture |
|
Very thin, pliable, and fairly tough; like parchment. See also chartaceous (papery, papyraceous), membranaceous (membranous). |
crumbling |
= fatiscent; > farinaceous, mealy |
texture |
|
Easily disintegrating in relatively small pieces, either spontaneously or under pressure. |
watery |
|
texture |
|
Liquid and weakly cohesive, flowing freely; like water. This term often implies also transparency. |
oily 2 |
= greasy, oleaginous, unctuous |
texture |
|
Liquid or deformably solid, cohesive, and slippery to the touch. |
hard |
= indurate(d) |
texture |
|
Yielding only under strong pressure; not deformable without internal structural disruption. See also callose (callous), hard-coated (corticate), hard-stemmed (sclerocaulous). |
horny |
= corneous |
texture |
|
Hard, dense, fine-grained or compactly fibrous, and tough; resembling the substance of animal horn. |
limp |
|
texture |
|
Lacking stiffness in in one or more dimensions, thus drooping or sagging where unsupported. |
hard-coated |
= corticate |
texture |
|
Having a hard exterior layer and a distinct, softer interior. |

corticate |
= hard-coated |
texture |
|
Having a hard exterior layer and a distinct, softer interior. |
