The narrow-curved depression between the helix and the antihelix is called the scapha; the antihelix describes a curve around a deep, capacious cavity, the concha, which is partially divided into two parts by the crus or commencement of the helix; the upper part is termed the cymba conchæ, the lower part the cavum conchæ. ❋ Unknown (1918)
The 'stem,' you are to say, then, when you mean the _advancing_ shoot, -- which lengthens annually, while a stalk ends every year in a blossom, and a cymba in a leaf. ❋ John Ruskin (1859)
These words become in Latin, cymba, and cymbalum; and I think you will find it entirely convenient and advantageous to call the leaf-stalk distinctively the 'cymba,' retaining the mingled idea of cup and boat, with respect at least to the part of it that holds the bud; and understanding that it gathers itself into a V-shaped, or even narrowly vertical, section, as a boat narrows to its bow, for strength to sustain the leaf. ❋ John Ruskin (1859)
The "subvectat corpora" will serve to remind you of the office of the leafy cymba in carrying the bud; and make you thankful that the said leafy vase is not of iron; and is a ship of Life instead of Death. ❋ John Ruskin (1859)
Already, not once, nor twice, I have had to use the word 'stem,' of the main round branch from which both stalk and cymba spring. ❋ John Ruskin (1859)
A stem is essentially round, [37] square, or regularly polygonal; though, as a cymba may become exceptionally round, a stem may become exceptionally flat, or even mimic the shape of a leaf. ❋ John Ruskin (1859)

a copy of this exquisitely printed book; the text of which, surrounded by such an amplitude of margin, in the language of Ernesti [see his Critique on Havercamp's Sallust] "natut velut cymba in oceano." ❋ Thomas Frognall Dibdin (1811)
“All manner of perplexities have occurred in the publishing of my poor book, which perplexities I could only cut asunder, not unloose; so the MS., like an unhappy ghost, still lingers on the wrong side of Styx: the Charon of Albemarle Street durst not risk it in his sutilis cymba, so it leaped ashore again. ❋ Smiles, Samuel, 1812-1904 (1911)
