What does REGMA mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A dry fruit that splits open at maturity into separate one- or two-seeded sections, each of which breaks away from a central column.
Botanists use regma to describe a specific kind of splitting fruit found in plant families such as the geraniums and spurges, where the seed capsule divides into distinct compartments as it ripens. Each section of a regma often springs away from the plant forcibly, sometimes flinging its seed a short distance to help the plant spread. The term distinguishes this particular fruit structure from other dry, splitting fruits such as the simpler capsule or pod.
How REGMA is used
A specialist botanical term, used mainly in plant science and technical descriptions of fruit structure.
- The geranium produces a regma that flings its seeds away from the parent plant.
- Botanists examined the regma under a lens to count its separate sections.
- A regma differs from a simple capsule in how forcefully it splits apart.
- Each section of the regma carried a single seed toward the soil below.
- The textbook diagram labeled every part of the regma in detail.
