depressed |
< flattened |
solid shape |
|
Flattened distally, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, as though pressed from the top, the external surface otherwise basically convex. Often used in combination with some other term that describes the overall shape exclusive of ("before") flattening, e.g., depressed-globose. See also compressed (complanate), obcompressed. |

obcompressed |
< flattened |
solid shape |
|
Flattened adaxially and abaxially, parallel to the longitudinal axis, as though pressed or squeezed from the upper and lower surfaces, the external surface otherwise basically convex. Used alone, this term usually implies a strong degree of flattening; otherwise, it is often used in combination with some other term that describes the overall shape exclusive of ("before") flattening, e.g., obcompressed-lanceoloid. See also compressed (complanate), depressed. |
