Okay, let's tackle this request. The user wants definitions of 'botany' and 'botanical' in a funny yet informative way, followed by an example sentence that's edgy or unsettling.
First, I need to recall what botany is. Botany is the study of plants. So, I should present that but add humor. Maybe use analogies or play with words. For botanical... adjectives related to plants. Need examples there too.
For the example sentence, it's tricky. Edgy but still using the terms. Maybe something like a plant doing something unexpected or creating an unsettling scenario. But keep it grammatically correct and relevant to botany/plant-related terms.
Wait, the user mentioned "botanic(al)" so I should cover both botanical as an adjective and noun. Need to ensure clarity in definitions without confusing with other sciences like zoology.
Humor is key. Maybe use metaphors. For instance, comparing a botanist to a detective for plants. Or play on words like 'phyto'- terms (since botany comes from phyton meaning plant).
Edgey example: Perhaps a scenario where a botanical garden has something sinister, or a plant's characteristics are described in a way that unsettles. Need to balance humor and discomfort.
Check if the definitions could have puns or jokes incorporated. Also, ensure accuracy. Botanical terms can sometimes be technical, so avoid misinformation.
Possible structure:
Botany: [Fun analogy] + pun + mention of studying plants. Botanic(al): Related adjective with examples. Example sentence: Create a situation where botany terms are used in an eerie context, like a haunted plant story or unnatural plant behavior.
Wait, example could involve words like "botanical garden" but add a twist. Maybe something about genetically modified plants causing fear or something abstract.
Need to make sure the example is still correct usage of the terms. For instance, "The botanical research revealed that the venus flytraps were actually alien spies." That's funny and edgy.
But check if that's acceptable. The sentence should use 'botany' or 'botanic' correctly. So maybe "In a botany experiment..." but build up to something unsettling.
Alright, time to draft the definitions with humor and then an example sentence that ties it all together in an edgy way.
Botany: The Science of Plant Shenanonesprocket™
Unbeknownledged by most Earthlings (and even more so by intergalactic spies),
botany
is the clandestine study of plants—those green, chlorophyll-laden conspirators plotting world domination through photosynthesis. Think of it as "phyto-nap" for Earth's flora, where botanists play cat-and-mouse with pollen-dispensing assassins (bees) to uncover leafy secrets like caffeine production in coffee beans and nicotine trafficking via tobacco plants. Spoiler alert: Plants are lazy, persuasive, and have better taste in partners.

Botanic
= Adjective describing plant conspiracies. For example:
- The
botanic warfare
inside the rainforest was intense—lichens were guerrilla fighters using foot soldiers disguised as mold.
- Our botanist-agent discovered that city parks are botanical safe zones for mushroom rings (read: cops).
Example Sentence: Edgey & Unsettling
"In a botany briefing, the general revealed our latest project: genetically-engineered
Phyllostigma glutinosum
—commonly known as cochineal fern extract—but with enhanced photosynthetic radiation to turn enemy crops into toxic death traps. Proceed with caution; these ferns might just overtake your coffee shop."
