Conumerous

/kəˈnjuːmərəs/ adjective

Definition

Possessing the same number as something else; having an equal number of parts or elements.

Etymology

From Latin 'con-' (together, equal) and 'numerosus' (numerous, many, from 'numerus' meaning number). An extremely rare botanical and mathematical term.

Kelly Says

Botanists might describe flowers as 'conumerous' if their petals match the number of sepals—it's precision language for describing symmetry in nature. It's basically the geometric perfection that makes flowers so mathematically beautiful.
