Serrulate is a term used to describe the characteristic of having small serrations or teeth along the edge of a leaf or other plant part. Synonyms for serrulate include finely serrated, minutely toothed, finely notched, finely jagged, and finely incised. These synonyms better describe the fine, delicate nature of the serrations, as opposed to broader, more pronounced serrations found on other plant parts. Other possible synonyms include feathery-toothed, saw-toothed, and tooth-like, all of which provide a more visual comparison to the serrations in question. Overall, these synonyms can help to provide a more precise and descriptive understanding of the characteristic of serrulation.
