The condition of being bound or wrapped with bands; in botany, an abnormal flattening of plant stems into ribbon-like shapes.
From Latin 'fasciatio,' derived from 'fasciare' (to bind). The botanical meaning describes a genetic or environmental condition causing abnormal flat growth.
Fasciation in plants is genuinely weird—a plant's stem suddenly grows flat like a ribbon instead of round, and nobody fully understands why, but it makes for eye-catching mutants!
