A laciniate leaf. From Wordnet, Princeton University.
Occasionally, its tendon is lost in the laciniate ligament, or in the fascia of the leg. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8c. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Leg] Reference
From Korshinsky's survey of varieties with cut leaves or laciniate forms the following cases may be quoted. From Wordnik.com. [Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation] Reference
This mode of origin is that already detailed for the laciniate varieties of alders and so many other trees. From Wordnik.com. [Species and Varieties, Their Origin by Mutation] Reference
Accessory head to its lower and inner part usually ending in the tendocalcaneus, or the calcaneus, or the laciniate ligament. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8c. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Leg] Reference
They comprise three ligaments, viz., the transverse crural, the cruciate crural and the laciniate; and the superior and inferior peroneal retinacula. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8d. The Fasciæ Around the Ankle] Reference
It arises from the medial process of the tuberosity of the calcaneus, from the laciniate ligament, from the plantar aponeurosis, and from the intermuscular septum between it and the Flexor digitorum brevis. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8e. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Foot] Reference
Flexor accessorius longus digitorum, not infrequent, origin from fibula, or tibia, or the deep fascia and ending in a tendon which, after passing beneath the laciniate ligament, joins the tendon of the long flexor or the Quadratus plantæ. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8c. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Leg] Reference
The medial portion is thin, and covers the under surface of the Abductor hallucis; it is attached behind to the laciniate ligament, and is continuous around the side of the foot with the dorsal fascia, and laterally with the central portion of the plantar aponeurosis. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8e. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Foot] Reference
Above, where it covers the Popliteus, it is thick and dense, and receives an expansion from the tendon of the Semimembranosus; it is thinner in the middle of the leg; but below, where it covers the tendons passing behind the malleoli, it is thickened and continuous with the laciniate ligament. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8c. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Leg] Reference
In the lower fourth of the leg its tendon passes in front of that of the Flexor digitorum longus and lies with it in a groove behind the medial malleolus, but enclosed in a separate sheath; it next passes under the laciniate and over the deltoid ligament into the foot, and then beneath the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament. From Wordnik.com. [IV. Myology. 8c. The Muscles and Fasciæ of the Leg] Reference
It receives an expansion from the tendon of the Biceps femoris laterally, and from the tendons of the Sartorius, Gracilis, Semitendinosus, and Semimembranosus medially; in front, it blends with the periosteum covering the subcutaneous surface of the tibia, and with that covering the head and malleolus of the fibula; below, it is continuous with the transverse crural and laciniate ligaments.

Calyx bell-shaped, laciniate, in 5 parts. From Wordnik.com. [The Medicinal Plants of the Philippines] Reference
