Etymology

peri- +‎ colpate

pericolpate (not comparable)

  1. (botany, of a pollen grain) Having colpi located in a non-central position.
    • 2007, Alfred Traverse, Paleopalynology, page 120:
      Erdman would call many of the "colpi" of a pericolpate grain sulculi, as they are not meridional, do not cross the equator, but are more-or-less parallel to it, or colpoids, if otherwise located.
