English term or phrase: monoclinic holoaxial crystal
Can any of the experts help, please?
I'm ok with the "monoclinic crystal", which is "cristallo monoclino", but I'm at loss with holoaxial.
Spanish gives holoaxico, but I can't find occurences of oloassiale, or oloassico in Italian.
Thank you in advance

I've found here the equivalence between holohedral and holoaxial:


http://books.google.it/books?id=SfnSesBc-RgC&pg=PA303&lpg=PA...


Example sentence(s):
  • All'interno di un sistema cristallino il gruppo puntuale che possiede la stessa simmetria del reticolo viene chiamato gruppo puntuale oloedrico e come tale possiede il numero maggiore di operazioni di simmetria

Notes to answerer
Asker: thank you for your help. Unfortunately, in the text I'm translating they use "holohedral" for "oloedrico". Thank you anyhow for the time you spent on this.
