[Taxacom] canaliculate

[Kenneth Kinman]

Hi John,
          You said you were describing U-shaped channels.  I would assume "canaliculate" could also refer to channels that are parabolic rather than U-shaped.  So if your channels are strictly U-shaped, I would think that "U-shaped channels" would be more precise.  But if your channels are sometimes parabolic rather than U-shaped, then canaliculate might be okay.
                 My two cents,    Ken

I received a few suggestions and all much appreciated. The term
'canaliculate' used in botany seemed to fit the bill quite well. Will have
to see what my collaborators think of that.
