The condition of having unequal or asymmetrical cotyledons in plant seeds or seedlings.
From Greek aniso- (unequal) plus cotyl- (from cotyledon) with the noun suffix -y indicating a state or condition. This botanical term names the phenomenon of irregular seed leaf development.
Anisocotyly is usually no problem for the plant—it's one of nature's acceptable imperfections that doesn't affect whether the seedling becomes a healthy adult, unlike human asymmetries that sometimes matter more.
