lobeless

Lacking rounded segments

Lobeless means lacking lobes—the rounded projecting parts of organs, leaves, or other structures.

A lobeless ear has no fleshy hanging portion.

Lobeless leaves have smooth, unindented margins rather than the rounded divisions seen in oak or maple leaves.

The term appears mainly in biological and anatomical descriptions.
