veinless

Lacking visible striations

Veinless means lacking veins.

The word applies literally to leaves or wings without visible vein structures: a veinless leaf mutation.

In anatomy, it might describe tissue or areas without blood vessels.

The term is technical and uncommon outside botany and biology.
