Tomentose is a term used to describe plant hairs that are flattened and matted.[1] The Latin word meaning 'cushion stuffing,' tomentum, is used to describe a woolly coating formed by the 'tomentose' hairs.[1]

Often the hairs are silver or gray-colored. Where the tomentum is minute or only slight, the coating is described as 'tomentulose'.

Plant species that have this type of structure and visual quality can have 'tomentose' as a prefix in their botanical name.
