Resupinate
🔬 Anatomy●●● Advanced
Resupinate describes a leaf, flower or other organ that is inverted, typically by a twist of roughly 180 degrees in its stalk, sheath or base. The surface that normally faces downward therefore comes to face upward, leaving the organ upside down relative to its usual position.
Example
“A resupinate organ is recognised by the half-turn in its stalk or base that carries its lower surface to the top.”
