1. FLOS'CULAR ,
2. FLOS'CULE, noun [Latin flosculus.] In botany, a partial or lesser
floret of an aggregate flower.
A mineral, a variety of
arragonite, called by
Jameson, after Hauy,
coralloidal arragonite. It occurs in little cylinders, sometimes
diverging and ending in a point, and sometimes branched, like coral. Its structure is fibrous, and the surface, which is smooth, or
garnished with little crystalline points, is often very white, with a
silken luster. It takes this name from its being often found in cavities in veins of
sparry iron.
