Having glands on the foot-like or stem-like structures, particularly describing plants with glands on their peduncles or stalks.
From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'podos' (foot), combining to describe plants where glands appear on the foot-like structures that support flowers or leaves.
Plant stems and stalks aren't just support beams—they're living tissue that often produces glands as chemical signals between the plant's parts, and adenopodous plants show that evolution optimized where glands appear to maximize their protective or communicative value.
