A blog about words and dictionaries, as I read the Oxford English Dictionary and post a daily word of interest.
The Cucumiform Holothuriæ, whose body is but little elongated, more or less fusiform, pentagonal, with tentaculiform suckers forming five ambulacra, one on each angle.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have described it better myself.
See? Without 'cuculiform', is would be virtually impossible to know what on earth you're talking about.
DeleteTalking of which, what are you talking about?
Cucumbers of course. Those that left the land to inhabit the sea. Google Holothuria and go to Images. The variety and colours will make your mouth water. Think I will have a Holothuria Mexicana for lunch.
DeleteOr maybe not today. I've just seen its more popular description. I'll go for a salmon and cucumber sandwich instead.
Land based cucumber, that is - Cucumis sativus.
DeleteHolothuria Mexicana, a.k.a Donkey Dung. Mouth-watering indeed.
DeleteAbsolutely brilliant.
