Spanish term

base de limo estrechada con cojinete

Spanish to English Other Botany cojinete
Hello, I am working a description of conifer tree and the leaf base is described as ...estrechada coin cojinete.
I was doing some research and saw this is sentence ."..En botánica, los pulvinos o pulvínulos son engrosamiento o ensanchamiento en forma de cojinete de la base de la hoja---"

I also saw a photo of "ficus cojinete" but I am still not clear on its meaning. Is is it like a "bundle" at the end of the stem ? or a type of support ?

thanking you all so much in advance for any help you can provide or links.

Can you give us the whole sentence and the type of conifer? Is there more than one needle bunched or held together at their bases by the sheath or is it a singe needle?
Althea Draper Aug 21, 2022:
If (as José says it's probably) 'limo' a typo for 'limbo' then

"limbo: parte laminar de la hoja; sinónimo de lámina"

On a conifer, 'lámina' is the needle.

José Patrício Aug 21, 2022:
limo is bud - limbo, not limo (typo)
Althea Draper Aug 21, 2022:
cojinete The 'cojinete' is the needle sheath that attaches the needles to the branchlet. You can see images in Spanish and English here

I'm not sure about 'limo' though.
