-āceæ
L. suffix, pl. fem. of -āceus, as above. The analogy of L. words like herbāceus, rosāceus, violāceus, hordeāceus has been followed in the unlimited use of this ending (in fem. pl., sc. plantae) to form collective names of orders or families of plants, as Rosaceae, Geraniaceae, Algaceae, Graminaceae, etc. |
