Sessility (botany)
In botany, sessility (meaning "sitting", in the sense of "resting on the surface") is a characteristic of plant organs such as flowers or leaves that have no stalk. Plant parts can also be described as subsessile, that is, not completely sessile. A sessile flower is one that lacks a pedicel (botany), pedicel (flower stalk). A flower that is not sessile is Pedicel (botany), pedicellate. For example, the genus ''Trillium'' is partitioned into multiple subgenera, the sessile-flowered trilliums (Trillium#Subgenus Sessilia, ''Trillium'' subgen. ''Sessilia'') and the pedicellate-flowered trilliums. The term "sessility" is also used in mycology to describe a fungal sporocarp (fungi), fruit body that is attached to or seated directly on the surface of the substrate (biology), substrate, lacking a supporting stipe (mycology), stipe or pedicel (botany), pedicel.

Alluvial
Alluvium (, ) is loose clay, silt, sand, or gravel that has been deposited by running water in a stream bed, on a floodplain, in an alluvial fan or beach, or in similar settings. Alluvium is also sometimes called alluvial deposit. Alluvium is typically geologically young and is not consolidated into solid rock. Sediments deposited underwater, in seas, estuaries, lakes, or ponds, are not described as alluvium. Floodplain alluvium can be highly fertile, and supported some of the earliest human civilizations. Definitions The present consensus is that "alluvium" refers to loose sediments of all types deposited by running water in floodplains or in alluvial fans or related landforms. However, the meaning of the term has varied considerably since it was first defined in the French dictionary of Antoine Furetière, posthumously published in 1690. Drawing upon concepts from Roman law, Furetière defined '' alluvion'' (the French term for alluvium) as new land formed by deposition ...
