Barbate
Barbate means tufted or furnished with hairs; bearded.
The Psalms note that Aaron possessed a barbate face. (Psalm 133:2)
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron's beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his robes. (Psalm 133:2, NASB)
In botany, Cymbalaria muralis, Hypericum calycinum, Saxifraga stolonifera, and Opuntia leucotricha all can be known as "Aaron's beard", taken from Psalm 133:2. The commnality is that all of these plants have numerous stamens or threadlike runners.
