From 6VOt, single, and KXLVSLP, to incline, since one axis is inclined to the plane of the other two axes, which are at right angles.same in this class as in the holosymmetric class. The remaining forms consist each of only two planes on the same side of the axial plane XOZ and equally_ inclined to the dyad axis (e.g. in fig. 62 the two planes X YZ and X YZ) ; such a wedge-shaped form is some-times called a sphenoid. Fig. 64 shows two crystals of tartaric acid, a a right-handed crystal of dextro-tartaric acid, and b a left-handed crystal of laevotartaric acid. The two crystals are enantiomorphous, i.e. although they have the same interfacial angles they are not superposable, one being the mirror image of the other. Other examples are potassium dextro-tartrate, cane-sugar
