It commonly refers to a special class of imbricate structures — those where the overlapping edges of leaves, scales or similar elements are spirally wrapped, each scale having one edge within the previous scale and one outside the next scale.

This is common in the buds of leaves and inflorescences of members of the family Araceae.
