A variant or related form referring to unequal arrangement in rows, used in botanical taxonomic descriptions.
A Latin-derived botanical term combining Greek 'aniso-' (unequal) and 'stichos' (row), forming a noun for organisms or structures with this characteristic arrangement.
This is essentially the scientific name version of the adjective anisostichous—Latin gave botanists these precise terms so they could describe nature's infinite variations without writing long explanations.
