I am sorry to say: you found the wrong one in another thread.

The initial question was:

There were several answers, one of them by myself:


<<

"Keimblatt" is a term from plant biology which refers to the cotyledon.

I guess the German word is "Erbsenkeimblatt" (add an "n"), probably [or: possibly] the cotyledon of the pea plant.
