|
Having a narrow spiral tip that is a continuation of the central primary vein. |
conic(al) |

apex |
|
Transversely round, essentially triangular in median longitudinal section, and broadest proximally. See also obconic(al). |
bifurcate |
< forked, furcate |
apex |
|
Having two terminal, antrorse branches or divisions arising from a common point or level, like the prongs of a fork. |

apex |
|
Having a laterally elongate, relatively thin, irregular or notched protrusion. |
retuse |
|
apex |
|
Round overall with an obtuse terminal sinus. |
