Strigose (from the New Latin strigosus, from striga row of bristles, from Latin, furrow): having appressed bristles or scales <a strigose leaf>
And you needed to know that to fully appreciate the name for this squat lobster, Galathea strigosa. (It’s the one in front, not that chordate interloper in back.)
