Native name of several trees of the genus Cordyline (formerly included in Dracæna), N.O. Liliaceæ, with edible roots; in Polynesia, C. terminalis; in New Zealand, C. australis and C. indivisa; known also as cabbage-palm, cabbage tree n., club palm, and palm-lily (palm n.¹ Compounds 1).

Etymology: Alteration of si n.¹, to avoid having two names with the same initial letter (compare sol n.²).Compare:1835 S. A.

TI adj. (also Ti) (Biology), tumour-inducing; spec. in Ti plasmid, a plasmid (originally referred to as a ‘tumour-inducing principle’ or TIP, this being still occasionally used to denote ‘tumour-inducing plasmid’), found in some strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, whose presence is necessary to induce the formation of crown galls in plant tissue infected by the bacterium.
