Relating to a blastostyle or developing style in plants or animals.
From blastostyle (from 'blastos' + Greek 'stylos' meaning column/pillar) + '-ar' (suffix). Botanical/zoological term from 19th-century descriptive biology.
In botany, the style is the tube that carries pollen to the ovule—and 'blastostylar' describes it when it's still in a bud-like, underdeveloped state. It's all about catching things mid-development!
