Lyrate

Vilmorin mentions two varieties; one having entire leaves, the other with lyrate or lobed leaves; giving preference, however, to the one with entire leaves. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)

Stems from twelve to fifteen inches high; leaves lyrate, the terminal lobe round; flowers small, in erect, loose, terminal spikes, or groups; the seeds are small, wrinkled, of a grayish color, and retain their vitality three years. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)

Leaves sixteen to eighteen inches in length, very dark green, deeply lobed, or lyrate, and hairy, or hispid, on the nerves and borders. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)

The leaves of this species are six inches long, pale yellowish-green, lyrate, with obtuse and entire divisions: when fully developed, they somewhat resemble those of the oak, as implied by the name. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)

The radical leaves are hairy and rough, and are usually lobed, or lyrate; but, in some of the sorts, nearly spatulate, with the borders almost entire. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)

The radical leaves are lyrate and roughish when young; those of the stem clasping, or heart-shaped, at base, and of an oblong form, -- all somewhat fleshy, of a dark-green color, with a glaucous bloom. ❋ Fearing Burr (N/A)

The species of Yucatan and southern Mexico have small lyrate antlers with few, short tines, rather different from the broader type of the more northern species with well developed secondary tines. ❋ Unknown (1915)

In architecture, the cob is nearly three feet high at the shoulder, has beautiful, sweeping horns of a lyrate shape, has a white patch around each eye, a white belly, and a coat of yellow with black on the forelegs. ❋ John T. McCutcheon (1909)

Hornless females would place it among the latter; but lyrate horns, ovine nose, and want of sinus, would give it rather to Gazella, and its singular inguinal purses further ally it to _Ant. dorcas_ of this group. ❋ Robert Armitage Sterndale (1870)

Horns non-lyrate: _Gazella Cuvieri_; _G. leptoceros_; _G. ❋ Robert Armitage Sterndale (1870)

Horns lyrate or semi-lyrate: _Gazella dorcas_; _G. ❋ Robert Armitage Sterndale (1870)

Below his knees were yellowish tufts of long hair; and his horns -- instead of being lyrate, like those of the springbok -- rose nearly vertical to the height of four inches. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)

Below his knees were yellowish tufts of long hair, and his horns -- instead of being lyrate, like those of the springbok -- rose nearly vertical to the height of four inches. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)

Its horns are of the lyrate form, and its colour a bright rufous. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)

Horns absent in the female; in the male long, annulated and lyrate, the points projecting inwards "(_Sir V. Brooke_). ❋ Robert Armitage Sterndale (1870)
