Chartaceous means "papery in texture" — think leaves, petals, or pages that feel light and crisp. Botanists often use the word to describe leaves or grasses with smooth, flat, or thin surfaces. The next time a dried flower petal falls apart when you pick it up, just call it charmingly chartaceous and carry on!
