Relating to or belonging to the stem or stalk of a plant.
From Latin 'caulis' (stem) with adjectival suffix '-ar'. Technical botanical descriptor distinguishing stem-related characteristics from other plant parts.
When botanists say 'caulinar leaves' they mean leaves that grow directly from the main stem rather than from branches—it's a small distinction that matters hugely when classifying plant species.
