filum

A small form is often found parasitic on Chorda filum, spreading out horizontally like the hairs of a bottle brush.

Cui filum sericum circumligatum, et sigillum cancellari impressum erat.

Name from filum, a thread, in allusion to the cottony hairs of these plants.

Suppose you were to put a groin out here, would not the filum fluminis be cast abruptly off across the channel?

Of this division there seems to be only one small fragment, the filum Labyrinthi, consisting of but two or three pages.

This thread, the filum labyrinthi, is the new method of induction.
