Ending in a sharp point; having an apex or acuminate tip, used especially in botany to describe leaf or plant structure.
From Greek akron (point, peak, extremity), directly describing the pointed quality of plant parts.
While 'acrose' is rare, related words like 'acuminate' and 'acute' are common in plant identification guides—they all describe that pointy quality.
