-volutus,-a,-um (part.A): rolled up;

- convolutus,-a,-um (part.A): convolute, rolled up longitudinally; cf. vernation; convolute (vernatio convoluta, ver. convolutiva, ver. supervolutiva), when the leaf is wholly rolled lengthwise from one margin, so that one margin is at the center of the coil and the other outside.

- involutus,-a,-um (part. A): involute, rolled inward from the edge (i.e. toward the upper side) or apex.

- obvolute (vernatio obvoluta), when the margin of one leaf overlaps that of the leaf opposite.

- revolute, rolled back from the edge (i.e. towards the lower side) or apex: revolutus,-a,-um (part A) (all from Stearn, 'vernation' 1983).

 

A work in progress, presently with preliminary A through R, and S, and with S (in part) through Z essentially completed.
