I guess you could therefore simply say "kidney-shaped distribution pattern".

agree  Steffen Walter: Yes. I was thinking of "kidney-shaped spreading pattern".

  -> Yes, "spreading pattern" would work fine too.

dispersal pattern


Explanation:
Sorry for posting more than once, but this would be another option that seems commonly used when describing spreader characteristics (and sounds even better than "distribution pattern" to my ears...)

neutral  Steffen Walter: You could have added this suggestion to your first answer, though.

  -> I'm not sure if there is a site policy on this, but I nomally think it better if answers are posted separately rather than as multiple suggestions in one post, especially when searching for a term that has already been answered, but isn't the main answer.

neutral  Johannes Gleim: KudoZ discourage from posting several answers. If I find a better proposal, impossible to add to the former proposal, I hide the first and post then again. What is your preferred proposal?
6 hrs
  -> OK. I have done that in the past if I think a suggestion was incorrect, but in this case I think both could work fine. I'll bear in mind for the future.

Streuniere
reniform or kidney-shaped pattern


Explanation:
These species belong to the Taxodiaceae. As in Sequoia, Sequoiadendron and Metasequoia, the vascular strands supplying the scale and bract in Nephrostrobus are about equal. These vascular strands are arranged in a reniform pattern resembling that found in Metasequoia, but the orientation differs by 180 degrees.

The intercondyloid fossa is deeply excavated in front, to become suddenly much shallower behind as well as somewhat narrower. Upon lateral view it will be seen that the general outline of either of the condyles is more circular than we usually find it in others of the Class, where a reniform pattern prevails. http://www.archive.org/stream/proceedingsamer00socigoog/proc...

A dispenser for an aqueous sialogogue for the mouth comprises: a) a reservoir for the aqueous sialogogue solution; b) passage means leading from the reservoir to a spray head; and c) a plurality of orifices in the spray head, whereby actuating the spray head causes a plurality of streams to be directed to those regions of the mouth most dry in a reniform pattern.

Plant clusters in flower beds. Even small groups of bulbs provide impressive spot color. Eleanor Christensen, of West Shore Acres Bulb Farm in Washington, recommends planting bulbs in a kidney-shaped pattern

An auxiliary feed device is provided above the pickup drum and is angularly oscillatable, while being provided with independently elastically suspended pushers, for feeding the crop material into the trough in which a transverse-feed mechanism, e.g. a fork describing a kidney-shaped pattern of motion advances the crop material into the lateral opening of the press channel.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  pj-ffm: Whilst very descriptive of the form, I think you still need "distribution", "spreading" or "dispersal" before "pattern" so that pattern relates to something. (And as mentioned, I'm not convinced the kidney shape is an important thing to stress.)

  -> No, this was not asked. It goes without saying. (Same as you did)
