Pedicel is also applied to the stem of the infructescence. The word "pedicel" is derived from the Latin pediculus, meaning "little foot". [2] The stem or branch from the main stem of the inflorescence that holds a group of pedicels is called a peduncle. [3] A pedicel may be associated with a bract or bracts. [4]
Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces.
In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs.The word was coined in botanical usage in the 1590s, from Latin umbella "parasol, sunshade". [1]
Morphologically, an inflorescence is the modified part of the shoot of seed plants where flowers are formed on the axis of a plant. The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis , as well as variations in the proportions, compressions, swellings, adnations , connations and reduction of main and ...
Pultenaea flexilis is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 4 m (13 ft) and sometimes has sparsely hairy stems. The leaves are linear to narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 8–20 mm (0.31–0.79 in) long and 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) wide with stipules 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long at the base and the lower surface darker than the upper.
Xanthophyllum pedicellatum is a plant in the family Polygalaceae. The specific epithet pedicellatum is from the Latin , referring to the long pedicel (flower stem). [ 2 ]
More importantly, the pedicel of T. cernuum is strongly recurved below the leaves while the other two species rarely exhibit this behavior. Northern forms of T. flexipes tend to have recurved pedicels and/or recurved petals. These forms closely resemble large plants of T. cernuum and so the two are often confused. In such cases, examine the ...
In botany, sessility (meaning "sitting", in the sense of "resting on the surface") is a characteristic of plant organs such as flowers or leaves that have no stalk. [1] [2] Plant parts can also be described as subsessile, that is, not completely sessile. A sessile flower is one that lacks a pedicel (flower stalk).
