Having both dentate (coarse teeth) and serrate (fine saw-like teeth); a margin combining two types of tooth-like projections.
Compound of 'dentato-' (toothed, from Latin 'dentatus') and 'serrate' (from Latin 'serratus,' saw-toothed). A botanical descriptor.
A dentatoserrate leaf looks like it has two sizes of teeth—big ones and tiny ones mixed together—and this actually helps plants shed water more efficiently and defend against insects!
