Bearing, carrying, or possessing glands; gland-bearing or characterized by having prominent glandular structures.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'phoros' (bearing, carrying). This Latin-adjective form was used in older botanical and zoological descriptions, particularly in 18th-19th century scientific literature.
Latin scientific names let naturalists pack a visual description into a single word—if a plant was called 'adenophoreus,' another scientist immediately understood it had visible glands without needing a long explanation, making communication across languages incredibly efficient.
