👉 In botany, "chorasmian" refers to a type of leaf that is characterized by its lack of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. This property allows the plant to survive in low light conditions and thrive in environments with little or no sunlight. The term was first used by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 when he described the concept of "chorasmia" as a condition where plants lack chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis.
