Having lobes of equal size or shape; describing organisms or structures with symmetrical, equal-sized lobes.
From Latin 'aequi-' (equal) plus 'lobus' (lobe, from Greek). The suffix '-ate' is used for adjectives describing possession of a quality. Used primarily in botany and zoology to describe symmetrical structures.
Equilobate is the kind of word that makes botanical descriptions precise—one plant might have equilobate leaves while another has irregular lobes, and that tiny difference tells scientists they're looking at entirely different species.
