[Meaning ones which are] single-skinned, single-leafed.
*mono/lopa: mono/derma, mono/fulla.
Same entry in the
Synagoge,
Photius (mu519 Theodoridis), and the
Lexica Segueriana; in
Hesychius mu1620 the glossing is "single-skinned, single-tuniced".
The term is used in the cited neuter plural by Basil of
Caesarea,
Homilies on the Hexameron 5.7, referring to kinds of bark. (This application is anticipated by
Theophrastus,
Enquiry into Plants 1.5.2, who uses the word in the same context, but in the masculine singular.)
