Relating to or characterized by a nodding motion; moving in a nodding manner.
From Latin annuens, present participle of annuere ('to nod toward'), from ad- (to) + nuere (to nod). Rare botanical or zoological descriptor.
Some plants and animals literally have parts that 'nod'—drooping flowers on nodding stems use this motion to shake off rain or release pollen, and the word 'annuent' captures that graceful bending action.
