Mark I've Googled a lot for your answer. The skirt is just the bottom half of the tunic. Belt around the middle a various bits of armour hanging off the belt Mark N Ireland Dear All, I am hoping that the erudite people who are on this forum can help me with a problem. Would any one know the name of a roman legionaires "skirt"? And what does infundibuliforme mean? Any link between the two? I ask because in galanthophiles language an all white snowdrop with the inner segments ressembling the outers a flower is called Poculiform. A Poculus was a sort of fluted wine cup. And one of these upturned flowers does look a bit like that. I am not keen on the term "reverse poculiform" for flowers that have their outer segments imitating the inner true petals as in 'Trym' and all its numerous progeny. I am more reminded when looking at this kind of mutation of the leather strips of a roman legionaires 'skirt'... Can any one help please? Kind regards, Mark
