Talk:apocolpial

An is different from an, although they are similar (the illustration in the linked glossary is helpful). I'm not sure if the adjective "apocolpial" always refers to that specific geometry, or can be used more generally, though. For example: "The diameter of the apocolpial area between the apices of the colpi also varies among taxa." (referring to mints), this seems to be using it in a way similar to apocolpium, and I can't find anything saying Lamiaceae are parasyncolpate. These technical terms are sometimes hard to track down precisely. 70.172.194.25 07:16, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
