Bearing or producing glands; having glands as a characteristic feature.
From Latin 'glandula' (small gland) + '-ferous' (bearing, producing). The term combines biological Latin roots to describe organisms or structures that carry glands as part of their anatomy.
This word perfectly demonstrates how scientists create precise language by combining Latin building blocks—it's like LEGO for botanists and zoologists describing which creatures and plants have glands and which don't, making classification exact.
