intrapetiolar - Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Intrapetiolar \In`tra*pet"i*o*lar\, a. (Bot.)
     Situated between the petiole and the stem; -- said of the
     pair of stipules at the base of a petiole when united by
     those margins next the petiole, thus seeming to form a single
     stipule between the petiole and the stem or branch; -- often
     confounded with interpetiolar, from which it differs
     essentially in meaning.
     [1913 Webster]
