==In plants== A '''tubercle''' is generally a wart-like projection, but it has slightly different meaning depending on which family of plants or animals it is used to refer to. In the case of certain [[orchid]]s and [[cactus|cacti]], it denotes a round nodule, small [[wikt:eminence|eminence]], or [[wart]]y outgrowth found on the [[Labellum (botany)|lip]]. They are also known as podaria (singular ''podarium''). When referring to some members of the [[Fabaceae|pea family]], it is used to refer to the wart-like excrescences that are found on the roots.
