Example Sentences
- "a septuplinerved leaf"
- "Leaves broadly ovate-acuminate, rounded at the base, and nearly or quite equal-sided, 6 to 8 in. long, 4 to 5 in. broad, on petioles of about ³⁄₄in., septuplinerved."
- "In several of the known species, the leaves are said to be trinerved, or almost triplinerved; in a few others they are triplinerved; but in our specimens they are distinctly septuplinerved, the three pairs of opposite nerves showing in light gray on the upper face of the leaf, and being made more conspicuous on the lower face by a neat fringe of gray, h^([sic]) hairs."
Etymology
By surface analysis, septuple (“seven times, sevenfold”, from Latin septuplus) + -i- (Latinate interfix) + nerved (“having nerves”). Compare translingual septuplinervis, the specific epithet of Miconia septuplinervis.
