Sinus (botany)

In botany, a sinus is a space or indentation between two lobes or teeth, usually on a leaf.

[1] The term is also used in mycology.

For example, one of the defining characteristics of North American species in the Morchella elata clade of morels is the presence of a sinus where the cap attaches to the stipe.
