Adenophyllous


The word "adenophyllous" is an adjective used to describe a plant that has glandular or swollen leaves. The term comes from the Greek words "adenos," meaning gland, and "phyllon," meaning leaf. Adenophyllous plants are often characterized by their thick, fleshy leaves, which may contain oils or other substances that give them a strong odor. Some examples of adenophyllous plants include succulents like aloe vera and echeveria, as well as certain types of carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap.
