Botuliform refers to a sausage-shaped object that is approximately cylindrical, with rounded ends, a prolate spheroid.

narrow oblong cylinder, hemispherical terminus

Having the shape of a sausage. --Henslow. 1913 Webster

The word is derived from the Latin botuli-; the same prefix is used in the word botulism, which literally translates as "sausage poisoning". [1] [2]

The suffix -form refers to something that resembles the item in form, shape, likeness or characteristics, and is derived from the the old French verb formeur, from the Latin formare meaning "form". [3] [4]

It is used in the field of botany, for example to describe the herb Rumex ochotskius, which has "botuliform tubercles with obtuse apices". [5]

In mammals, the Short-tailed Gymnure mouse (Hylomys suillus) has botuliform secretion cavities for their apocrine glands, in the skin of their withers. [6]

In the context of fungi, it is close in meaning to the word allantoid, [2] and used to describe certain vegetative yeast cells, the shape of which can be used to identify specific species, and can determine their method of reproduction, [7] or to describe ascomata, the fruiting body of fungi such as Coryneliales, [8] which form sausage-shaped under ground, but open into funnel-shaped ostioles. [9]

The term has been used to describe vegetables. [10], the shape of a person, [11], and as a nickname for the human penis. [12]

The cellular structure of bacilli in fossil records. [13]
