👉 In biology, "uncinatum" is a term used to describe a type of plant. It refers to a type of plant called a "cactus," which is characterized by its ability to store water in its cells and use it during dry periods. The term "uncinatum" was first used by the English botanist Thomas Toogood in 1843, who described the plant as "a cactus with a large number of small spines on the leaves."
