neomorphosis1901
1901 T. H. Morgan Regeneration i. 24 In one case [of heteromorphosis] the new part is not only different from the part removed, but is also an organ that belongs to a different part of the body (or it may be unlike any organ of the body). This we may call ‘neomorphosis’.
1937 Amer. Midland Naturalist 18 1104 Neomorphosis consists in an abbreviation of the individual cycle, i.e. in a new formation proceeding from the juvenile stages onward.
1959 Physiologia Plantarum 12 (title) Neomorphosis in seed plants induced by amino acids.
1966 D. D. Davis & R. Zangerl tr. W. Hennig Phylogenetic Systematics iii. 228 The theory of the ‘early ontogenetic origin of types’ assumes a special place in discussions of the origin of higher categories or new types. Equivalent or nearly equivalent are the concepts of ‘proterogenesis’ (Schindewolf), paedomorphism (Garstang), and—as Wettstein 1942 emphasizes—the designations diametagenesis.., fetalization.., and neomorphosis.
