This is simply a typo for the existing aboral.
- Looking through b.g.c, it seems to be more common as a misspelling or maybe alternative form of arboreal. —Mahāgaja · talk 17:15, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- (ec) Occurrences are far more often misspellings of arboreal.[1][2][3] There seem to be some 200 GBS hits for this sense, as opposed to maybe a dozen or so uses of the aboral sense. Perhaps we should keep the page as a common misspelling of arboreal, and then throw in the other misspelling, although comparatively rare, for good order. --Lambiam 17:30, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
