statice

n : any of various plants of the genus Limonium of temperate

salt marshes having spikes of whit or mauve flowers [syn:

{sea lavender}, {marsh rosemary}]

lattice

A {partially ordered set} in which all finite subsets

have a {least upper bound} and {greatest lower bound}.

This definition has been standard at least since the 1930s and

probably since Dedekind worked on lattice theory in the 19th

century; though he may not have used that name.

See also {complete lattice}, {domain theory}.
