floral cup 1 (broad sense) |
= floral tube, hypanthium (broad sense) |
STRUCTURE |
|
A complex structure comprising fused portions of the perianth and/or androecium of a flower, sometimes also including receptacular tissue; surrounding and wholly, partly, or not at all adnate to the gynoecium; subdivided morphologically into casing, collar and/or neck; sometimes bearing free distal portions of the constituent structures. |
|
floral cup 2 (strict sense) |
= hypanthium (strict sense) |
STRUCTURE |
|
A marginal protrusion from or enlargement of the receptacle (torus) of a flower, encircling and wholly, partly or not at all adnate to the gynoecium, bearing the perianth and androecium. |
|
floral tube |
= floral cup (broad sense), hypanthium (broad sense) |
STRUCTURE |
|
A complex structure comprising fused portions of the perianth and/or androecium of a flower, sometimes also including receptacular tissue; surrounding and wholly, partly, or not at all adnate to the gynoecium; subdivided morphologically into casing, collar and/or neck; sometimes bearing free distal portions of the constituent structures. |
|
floret |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A very small, structurally specialized flower, especially when occurring in capitulum (head; Asteraceae), or in a spikelet (Poaceae), where it includes the immediately subtending bracts (lemma and palea). |
|
floricane |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A biennial or perennial stem after it has begun flowering, when that does not occur until at least its second season of growth; applied especially to the stems of brambles (Rubus spp.). |
|
floriferous |

architecture |
plant, structure |
Bearing flowers. |
|
flower |
|
STRUCTURE |
|
A functionally integrated, complex structure comprising sets of sporophytic and/or associated sterile structures disposed in standard sequence along a common axis; consisting of one or more constituent members each of, in ascending (proximal to distal) order of insertion, perianth (tepals, or else sepals and/or petals), androecium (stamens, staminodes and/or other associated structures), and/or gynoecium (pistils and/or other associated structures), the foregoing all borne laterally from the distal portion (receptacle) of the axis; depending upon the combination of structures present, may be bisexual, staminate only, pistillate only, or sterile; characteristic of and unique to the Magnoliophyta (Angiospermae). When a fertile androecium and gynoecium are both present a flower is termed perfect. When perfect and also with calyx and corolla both present, a flower is termed complete. Both terms are somewhat archaic and of limited descriptive value. |
