Definitions
- a. Alt. of Dextrorse
- adj. spiraling upward from left to right
- Turning from the left to the right, in the ascending line, as in the spiral inclination of the stem of the common morning-glóry. Note: At present scientists predicate dextrorse or sinistrorse quality of the plant regarded objectively; formerly the plant was regarded subjectively, and what is now called dextrorse was then considered sinistrorse.
