Defn: Consisting of leaves or thin laminæ; having the form of a leaf or plate; as, foliaceous spar.
Defn: Leaflike in form or mode of growth; as, a foliaceous coral.
The stamens are inserted upon the top of the tube of the corolla, and if you look at the base of their filaments you would be inclined to pronounce it a foliaceous expansion, or, rather, a metamorphic doubling of the corolla.
It is true that this foliaceous envelope may often assume the shape of a cup (in Latin, calix), and hence that the name has about it a semi-poetical air.
Answer: The calyx is a foliaceous transformation, intermediary between the bracts and the corolla.
Nevertheless, in the midst of these waverings, which lead us to mistake the calicinal leaflets sometimes for bracts, sometimes for petals, we recognise perfectly the foliaceous type.
When the abdomen is terminated by flat foliaceous appendages, or the tail is ciliated on each side with dense parallel hairs, which assist the insect in swimming.
Laminose or foliaceous respiratory appendages distinguish the sides of the abdomen of the larvae and pupae of the Ephemerae, whose history you found so interesting[241].
Its most conspicuous feature is the large foliaceous varices which cross the whorls, projecting almost one fourth of an inch from the body of the shell.
The varices are simple and not foliaceous as in /M.
The adventitious organs appeared as if they were developments from the thalamus--a kind of foliaceous disc, in fact.
In other cases no traces of ovules are visible, but the funiculi are in a foliaceous condition.
This change is frequently associated with a more or less foliaceous condition of the bracts, which, indeed, may be seen to be serially continuous, both above and below, with the ordinary leaves.

De Candolle[256] figures a curious instance wherein the pappus of Podospermum laciniatum was replaced by five linear, foliaceous lobes.
All the parts of the flower may be thus affected; but, as might have been anticipated from the foliaceous nature of the sepals, the new bud usually arises from within the axil of one of those organs.
A foliaceous condition of the outer portions of a flower is very generally attended by atrophy or complete suppression of the inner portions.
The stamens were eight or ten in number, their connectives prolonged into foliaceous or petaloid appendages, so that the filament represented the stalk of the leaf.

Suppression or abortion of the seed is frequently associated with the excessive development either in size or number of other portions of the plant, or with an altered condition, as when carpels become foliaceous and their margins detached.
