Describing a seed or ovule that is curved and has its opening positioned along the curved edge rather than at the tip.
From Latin 'campula' (small curve) and Greek 'tropos' (turning), combined in botanical taxonomy to describe seed orientations in plant reproduction.
The way seeds are positioned inside fruits is so precisely organized that botanists needed dozens of Latin terms just to describe the angles and curves—nature's geometry is that intricate.
