#### Patabotanical Morphology

For ordinary plant morphology to be patafied see http://libarynth.org/phytomorphology

Other morphological principles:
- allotropy: the appearance of a mineral in several forms, like carbon (grafite,diamond,buckeyballs)
- aplasia: full or partial standstill in growth of tissue or organs.
- stratification (from Dutch) = layered order of stone, sediment, body-tissue etc.

Miscellaneous:
- dysteleology (Haeckel; 1834-1919) = study of purposelessness in nature (leer van de doelloosheid in de natuur.)
- echokynesis: pathological compulsion to mimic movements.
- epizoic: living on the body of an animal.
- ideoplasia(from Dutch): changing or deforming of organic tissue due to mental influence.
- taumatology: study of miracles.
- Dance of Saint Vitus (from Dutch) = neurological disease that brings with it all kinds of sudden and involuntary movements of the limbs, face and muscles.
- Formication : a somewhat unusual, but medically well-known, abnormal sensation. This sensation closely resembles the feeling of insects crawling on and/or under the skin, and can also include sensations which resemble those of insects stinging or biting.
- spontaneous generation: frogs are born from mudd, mice from rotting wheat, etc.
