Etymology: < geo- comb. form + -phyllous comb. form. In sense 1 after scientific Latin geophyllus (1798 as a specific epithet; < geo- geo- comb. form + -phyllus : see -phyllous comb. form).In form geophilous perhaps influenced by geophilous adj.

1903 L. H. Pammel Ecology 303 As in the Rocky Mountains these plants are perennial but geophyllous, that is, they disappear under ground on the approach of the cold weather when the protection is needed.

1920 A. Arber Water Plants xxvi. 323 The group was evolved through adaptation to a geophilous habit.

1992 D. J. von Willert et al. Life Strategies Succulents in Deserts i. 17 Examples are provided by the leaves of geophyllous species in the genus Lithops.

2004 Folia Geobotanica 39 7 The geophyllous growth form of plants in the short-day treatment corresponded with our observations that plants germinating under late summer conditions behave as winter annuals.
