I specifically asked about "two lobed glands", and someone said they thought that was what the author had intended, that is, two glands which are lobed, rather than glands with two lobes each.

I should have checked rather than relying on the advice of someone who said "I'm no expert but..."

I see that two-lobed is correct:

'Introduction to ecological biochemistry' by Jeffrey B. Harborn gives it as 'two-lobed glands':

It wasn't a lucky guess, I promise.

Many thanks, both.
