Starchly

One exception is the starchly upright royal fern, Osmunda regalis - a real acid-lover which needs lots of moisture at the roots.

Normally, as starchly correct as Eric Cantona's collar, she appeared in a pleated, white micro pelmet for her tennis session with Tim Henman.

It rebuts much of academic contemporary poetry, which starchly and foolishly denies politics a place at the table.
