in botany, a genus of the decandria pentagynia clasps. The calyx consists of five segments; the petals are from five to nine; and the capsule has five cells. There is but one species, viz. the fedoides, a native of Virginia.

**PENLTIMA**, or **PENLTIMATE SYLLABLE**, in grammar, denotes the last syllable but one of a word, and hence the anti-penultimate syllable is the last but two, or that immediately before the penultimate.
