Such obvious attributes as size and hairiness did not matter; other qualities-- a retriever's goofy grin, perhaps, or the eager eyes of a spaniel-- seemed more important.

Scientists have tentatively diagnosed Pastrana's condition as " generalized hypertrichosis terminalis with gingival hyperplasia, " a different condition from that discussed in the current report, though with the same extraordinary degree of hairiness.

In Europe, various subspecies have been named based on characteristics such as the hairiness of the leaves, the extent to which the stems are angled or rounded, and the size and shape of the terminal umbel.

The leaves of this species are shorter and wider than those of " Verticordia polytricha " and is distinguished from that species and from " Verticordia capillaris " by the extent of hairiness in the flowering structures.
45.
Until recently it was thought there was a single species ( " Hedera helix " ), but recent studies have shown that there are several species that differ mainly by microscopic details of the hairiness of the buds.
46.
Most leaves have distinctive upper ( adaxial ) and lower ( abaxial ) surfaces that differ in colour, hairiness, the number of stomata ( pores that intake and output gases ), epicuticular wax amount and structure and other features.

Until recently it was thought there was a single species of ivy ( " Hedera helix " ), but recent studies have shown that there are several species that differ mainly by microscopic details of the hairiness of the buds.

This discontinuity is, therefore, the outward sign of the fact that in heredity the two characters of smoothness and hairiness do not completely blend, and the offspring do not regress to one mean form, but to two distinct forms .
49.
"L . salicaria " is very variable in leaf shape and degree of hairiness, and a number of subspecies and varieties have been described, but it is now generally regarded as monotypic with none of these variants being considered of botanical significance.

Doctors have long known that women can develop excessive hairiness, or hirsutism, early in life from genes that cause high levels of male hormones or from diseases like polycystic ovary syndrome that make them overly sensitive to normal, low levels of male hormones in their bodies.
