Usage examples of "pensile".
The ground sloped from the house towards the bed of a creek which once or twice a year had water in it, and at the lowest part grew a magnificent willow, its pensile branches bowing in the slight rising breeze which had not power to stir its neighbour, a massy dark Norfolk Island pine.
