The latin verb procumbo, procumbere, procubui, procubitus may be translated as "lesser, sink down, lie down, lean forward..." (so in common language "procumbens"might mean something as “sinking down, lying down or leaning forward”.
Certain plants and trees have “procumbens” as part of their scientific name, such as the grapple plant (aka Devil's Claw) which scientists labeled “Harpagophytum procumbens”. The Checkerberry or American Wintergreen is called “Gaultheria procumbens” again by the experts in this field.
Hope this helps!
