| folia linguae | Numerous projections arranged in several transverse folds upon the lateral margins of the tongue just in front of the palatoglossus muscle. Synonym: papillae foliatae, folia linguae. Fungiform papillae, numerous minute elevations on the dorsum of the tongue, of a fancied mushroom shape, the tip being broader than the base; the epithelium of many of these papillae has taste buds.
