- largest and least numerous papillae, in humans there are on the tongue between 8 and 12.
- occur in depressions of the surface of the tongue.
- surrounded with a trench formed by the infolding of the epithelium.
- taste buds are particularly numerous on the lateral surfaces of these papillae.
- excretory ducts of serous glands open into the trenches surrounding the papillae.
