What does STIPEL mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A tiny leaflike appendage at the base of a leaflet in a compound leaf.
Whereas a stipule sits at the base of an entire leaf stalk, a stipel is found one level down, beside the stalk of an individual leaflet. Botanists notice stipels mainly in members of the pea family, where they help identify species. The word is a diminutive built from stipule, so it literally means a small stipule.
