Acutonodose

/ˌækjuːtəˈnoʊdoʊs/ adjective

Definition

In botany, having nodes or joints with sharp, pointed characteristics or acute angles at the joints.

Etymology

From Latin 'acutus' (sharp) and 'nodosus' (knotted, having nodes), describing plant structures with pointed joints or segments.

Kelly Says

When botanists look at stems and joints in plants, they notice that some are smoothly rounded and others are sharply angled—'acutonodose' lets them describe exactly what they see.
