One that recently crossed my path:

imbricate - Verb: Arrange (scales, sepals, plates, etc.) so that they overlap like roof tiles.
Adjective: (of scales, sepals, plates, etc.) Having adjacent edges overlapping.

I saw it used to describe a complex set of historical relationships. Thought it really worked.
