tomentose
Trichomes (); from Ancient Greek τρίχωμα (tríkhōma) 'hair') are fine outgrowths or appendages on plants, algae, lichens, and certain protists. They are of diverse structure and function. Examples are hairs, glandular hairs, scales, and papillae. A covering of any kind of hair on a plant is an indumentum, and the surface bearing them is said to be pubescent.

Tomentose
Tomentose are plant hairs that are flattened and matted. The Latin word meaning 'cushion stuffing,' tomentum, is used to describe a woolly coating formed by the 'tomentose' hairs. Often the hairs are silver or gray-colored. Where the tomentum is minute or only slight, the coating is described as 'tomentulose'. Plant species that have this type of structure and visual quality can have 'tomentose' as a prefix in their botanical name. ⁕Achillea tomentosa ⁕Aristolochia tomentosa ⁕Opuntia tomentosa ⁕Paulownia tomentosa ⁕Rhodomyrtus tomentosa ⁕Uncaria tomentosa.
