STRUCTURE |
|
One of the bracts composing the involucre of a capitulum (head,); in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
phyllodium pl. phyllodia |
= phyllode |
STRUCTURE |
|
A leaf deemed to consist entirely or almost entirely of tissues evolutionarily derived from the petiole, all or a distal portion of which has become laminar, the original blade reduced to the point of absence or vestigiality. |
phyllode |
= phyllodium |
STRUCTURE |
|
A leaf deemed to consist entirely or almost entirely of tissues evolutionarily derived from the petiole, all or a distal portion of which has become expanded and blade-like, the original blade reduced to the point of absence or vestigiality. |
carpellate (not recommended) |

architecture |
inflorescence, flower, floret |
Having functional pistils but no functional stamens, thus unisexual and female. |
pistillodium pl. pistillodia |
= pistillode |
STRUCTURE |
|
Any sterile structure deemed to represent a modified pistil, homology being inferred on the basis of structural similarity, ontogeny, and/or position; sometimes nectariferous, sometimes connate with others or adnate to other floral structures. |
