"The Section Grandiflora, representing the Agraric and Capreolata of Hammar, is readily subdivided into three subsections, as is done by Haussknecht, by eliminating, as Murales, from the well-marked Agrarian and Capreolate species the more dubious and intermediate plants, some of which present distinct individual features, while one or two others show affinities with certain of the Parviflora."

Borrowed from Latin capreolātus, from capreolus (“wild goat, tendril”) + -ātus, from caper (“goat”); see -ate (adjective-forming suffix). Compare French capréolé.

more capreolate (comparative) most capreolate (superlative)
