Hm. Another of those really strange adjectives. I think I've boiled it down
to three possibilities, of which I'll try what are probably the wrong two:

6. with roots growing around the sides of a container

7. of hairs adjacent to a natural opening that grow inwards usu.
causing irritation, as the inward turning of eyelashes upon the eye
