(n.) An ornament resembling the foliage or leaves of the acanthus (Acanthus spinosus); -- used in the capitals of the Corinthian and Composite orders.

(7) The stages of C. michiganensis resembled those of Parorchis acanthus, a philophthalmid also infecting C. californica, except for differences in the epidermal plate count of their miracidia and in their cercarial stage which was larger in P. acanthus and had a spinuous tegument with a collar of spines.
Composite
Definition:
(v. t.) Made up of distinct parts or elements; compounded; as, a composite language.
(v. t.) Belonging to a certain order which is composed of the Ionic order grafted upon the Corinthian. It is called also the Roman or the Italic order, and is one of the five orders recognized by the Italian writers of the sixteenth century. See Capital.
(v. t.) Belonging to the order Compositae; bearing involucrate heads of many small florets, as the daisy, thistle, and dandelion.
(n.) That which is made up of parts or compounded of several elements; composition; combination; compound.
Example Sentences:

(4) Abruptly changing cows from one feeding system to another did not influence milk yield, milk composition, or body weight gain.
(5) In spite of important differences in size, chemical composition, polymer density, and configuration, biological macromolecules indeed manifest some of the essential physical-chemical properties of gels.
(6) Protein composition was determined in mesenteric lymph chylomicrons from fat-fed rats.
(7) In vitro transcription products were analyzed for their 5' end sequences and their oligonucleotide compositions.
(8) The antigenic composition of an extract of rat dust, as a source of aeroallergens for rat-sensitive individuals, has been investigated and compared to the antigenic composition of rat saliva and urine.
