Having a shape resembling a pickaxe or double-headed axe, used especially in describing botanical or biological forms.
From Latin 'dolabra' (pickaxe) combined with '-form' (shape), creating a precise descriptor for objects with this distinctive geometric appearance.
Dolabriform leaves or petals are nature's way of creating ultra-efficient shapes—the axe design appears in plants because it's genuinely good geometry!
