comose - adj., have a tuft of soft hairs.


Or more rigorously, bearing a coma, which can also include a branched crown of foliage as well as a milkweedy or dandelioneque crown on a seed. Pronounced KOH-mohs, used in English (apparently first by botanists?) since the 1790s, taken from Latin comōsus, from Greek kómē, hair.

Milkweed seeds yay.
