Definition
A small, pointed projection or tip, especially in botanical contexts referring to a small point at the apex of a leaf or petal.
Etymology
Diminutive form of Latin apex (tip, peak). The suffix -cula creates a diminutive, making it mean 'little tip.' This botanical term entered English in the 18th century.
Kelly Says
Plants are covered in these tiny architectural details—next time you look at a leaf, see if it has a little needle-point at its tip, and you're spotting an apicula!
