Polypary {pol' -ip-a-re) [polypus, a polyp, or many- 

 footed animal]. In biology, " The term polypary has 

 been used with just as little precision as polyp, being 

 sometimes employed to express the common connect- 

 ing basis — ccenosarc of a polyp-stock — and at other 

 times being applied exclusively to the solid protective 

 structures, whether forming for the zoophyte an external 

 covering or constituting an internal axis ; the ambigu- 

 ity which then results will be got rid of by using the 

 word ccenosarc as here defined, and restricting the 

 term polypary to the solid protective structures of the 

 zoophyte." (Allman).
