🏷️ Taxonomy●● Intermediate

A color epithet indicating the plant is uniformly colored — both surfaces of a leaf are the same color, contrasting with discolor (different surfaces). Appears as concolor (both genders).

Etymology

From Latin concolor, meaning "of the same color," from con- (same) + color (color).
