Of, relating to, or exhibiting heteradenia; having glands or glandular structures that are unequally distributed or different in type.
From heteradenia + -ic (adjective suffix). The -ic suffix converts the noun heteradenia into an adjective describing the quality or characteristic of having heteradenic features.
When botanists describe a leaf as heteradenic, they're essentially reading the plant's ID card—the gland pattern tells you which plant family it belongs to and how it adapted to its specific environment.
